How do I hang curtains on a cutout like this?

Question

I have this cutout and was wondering how I would be able to hang some curtains without them looking out of place!

I was thinking putting a curtain and rod on the upper part before the cutout but wasn’t sure if there is something that can be done on the inside?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Attach your brackets to the upper window molding as close to the edge as possible.

Answer 2

Look into a ceiling mounted curtain rod

Answer 3

You might consider "accordion" style folding interior shutters. They would fold up pretty flat against the adjacent walls.

Something like this:

The fact that the opening is asymmetrical would not preclude this from working. And unlike curtains when opened in such a tight space, they wouldn't block much of the window.
