STICK-UP: Window coverings not only make a home feel cosier, they also provide an extra layer of protection against draughts, which will help cut your energy bills.
You can buy blinds that fit into the window recess with no need for nails or screws.
Dunelm has easy-stick roller blinds in its sale, with prices starting at £5.60. You can cut them down in size to fit your window.
At blinds-2go.co.uk, you can pick up no-drill roller, Roman and Venetian blinds which swap traditional brackets for tension bars that fit inside your window recess, from £22.45.

NO-SCREW SHELVES: For small bathrooms with no space for floor-standing storage, wall shelves might be the answer. But that means dicing with the dreaded drill. Instead, look at inexpensive over-door hanging shelves.
The Range has a three-tier over-door chrome caddy for £14.99.
And for stylish shelves that work just as well over a bedroom door,
The Futon Company has an oak over-door caddy, down from £65 to £50.
POLE POSITION: For lighter curtains, use a pole that stays in place through tension rather than screws.

Tension rods start from around £5 at Dunelm. The extendable poles fit inside the window frame — no screws or drilling needed.
PICTURE THIS: Hanging pictures or photo frames can pepper a wall with hooks or nails. It also means you can’t move your artwork around.
Instead, use Command picture hanging strips, from £9.59 at Amazon, which stick to the back of the frame and then attach to the wall.
For your favourite snaps, order photo tiles from firms such as Snapfish and Photobox. The foam tiles are lightweight and have self- adhesive tabs for easy hanging and repositioning.
