Abstract

A system for mounting a curtain rod is used to mount a rod holder to a wall without damaging the wall if the rod holder is removed or changed. The system includes a holder mounting bracket which includes a base and a bridge. The holder mounting bracket may be mounted to a wall by the base. An anchor-receiving hole runs between the base and the bridge. The system includes a rod holder which is mounted into the anchor-receiving hole and to the bridge. The rod holder is used to support a curtain rod. The system includes a bracket adapter which mounts into the anchor-receiving hole if the rod holder is not compatible with the holder mounting bracket. The rod holder may then be mounted to the bracket adapter. The system includes a holder cover and a bracket cover, used to cover the rod holder and the holder mounting bracket respectively.
