We really like to repurpose items and get creative with design ideas. I totally realize that our ideas arent for everyone but we like it so thats what matters.......right? Hehehehe maybe! When we got rid of the original heavy overbearing window treatments I wanted something really clean, simple, and something to accentuate the curved interior walls of our 310 motorhome. I ended up going with simple roller shades from IKEA but had the same problem as you. So I made some blind tenders out of copper pipe, straps, and end caps. They hold the blind tight to the wall, provide a natural "stop" so when they are open they are all at the same height, and dont interfere with the window hardware. My wife wrapped some greenery around the pipe that added a nice touch I think. I know its unconventional and probably unsuitable to many people's tastes but we like them and they are very functional.
We have other copper accent pieces also.
