Curtains in a tight space

[Camalot]

Hi guys,

Could anyone help me with the issue, i am wanting to fit curtains in the living room which currently have blinds there. I would ideally like to keep the blinds, but will accept removing them if needs be.

I am struggling with working out how to fit a blind as the patio doors go right up to the edge of the wall, leaving no room for an overhang. The curtains would also need to go right to the edge of the pole to not allow any gaps down the sides.

Can i use a normal pole somehow here still? Maybe put some wood above the blinds to allow the curtains / rail to come out further than the blinds?

That's an awkward position for sure. I think I'd be looking to secure a regular curtain pole on the walls either side with recess brackets rather than the traditional supports on the main wall. Something like this:

Thanks for thw reply. Will them still leave slight gaps at each side though?

Not really, provided you get matching manufacturer of bracket and pole. The bracket supports are designed from the same material and diameter as the pole to give it a sort of seamless look.
