Screw blocks of wood such as 2”x4”s into the walls next to the end wall you are wanting to put a curtain rod on. There is space under the header for them. The curtain rod brackets can be screwed into the ends of this wood. The blocks of wood can be painted the same as your walls. The curtains will hide the blocks of wood.
