Over Blinds Curtain Rod Brackets, 5 Inch
Black Aluminum · Set of 2
These black aluminum brackets hold your curtain rod 5 inches from the wall, so the curtain hangs in front of horizontal blinds instead of rubbing them. They fit 3/4 to 1 inch rods. Two brackets and installation kits are in the box; the rod is sold separately.

Clears horizontal blinds
The rod sits 5 inches out from the wall, so the curtain falls in front of the headrail and the blinds still tilt and lift.

Will These Brackets Clear Your Blinds?
On short brackets, a curtain lands on the blinds’ headrail and catches the slats. Over blinds curtain rod brackets hold the rod farther out, so the curtain hangs in front.
Measure from the wall to the front of the headrail or valance, whichever sticks out more. Add 1 to 2 inches of clearance. If the total is 5 inches or less, these brackets clear your blinds.
| Blinds stick out | Needed with 1.5 in clearance | 5-inch brackets |
|---|---|---|
| 2 in | 3.5 in | Clear |
| 3 in | 4.5 in | Clear |
| 3.5 in | 5 in | Clear, no room to spare |
| 4 in | 5.5 in | Too short |
Outside-mount blinds and deep valances need the most room. Need more than 5 inches? The 6-inch heavy duty curtain rod brackets adjust up to 6 inches from the wall.
Fits your window?
5 in from the wall. Two brackets and installation kits included.
Metal Curtain Rod Brackets: What Makes Them Sturdy
Plastic brackets can flex and crack around the screw holes. These are aluminum: the arm stays straight, and it doesn’t rust near a window where condensation collects in winter. The fixed 5-inch projection means both brackets hold the rod at the same depth, with nothing to adjust.
Black Brackets: Where They Work
Black brackets draw a crisp line against white blinds and a light wall. They match black rods, window frames and door hardware in modern, industrial and farmhouse rooms. At 5 inches out, the brackets show from the side too: against a dark curtain the arm disappears, against a light one it looks deliberate.

How to Install Curtain Rod Brackets Over Blinds
You need a drill, a screwdriver, a level and a tape measure. Hang the blinds first, so you check clearance against the real headrail.
- Step 1 of 5
Mark the height. Mark 4 to 6 inches above the window frame, clear of the headrail and valance.
- Step 2 of 5
Mark the width. Mark each bracket 4 to 6 inches past the sides of the frame, level with each other.
- Step 3 of 5
Set the anchors. Screw into a stud where a mark lands on one. In drywall, use the anchors from the kit.
- Step 4 of 5
Screw the brackets to the wall. Hold the base flat and tighten until snug. Don’t overtighten into drywall.
- Step 5 of 5
Hang the rod. Slide the curtain on, set the rod in both brackets and check the gap to the blinds.
Check that the blinds still work
Tilt the slats and raise the blinds all the way. The wand and cord should move freely behind the curtain. If the curtain catches the wand, move the wand to the other end.

FAQ
Blinds, metal and weight: what buyers ask about these brackets.
How far do curtain rod brackets need to stick out to clear blinds?
Measure how far your blinds stick out and add 1 to 2 inches. These brackets hold the rod 5 inches out, so they clear blinds up to about 3.5 inches deep.
Can curtain rod brackets attach to blinds?
Not these. They screw into the wall above the window, not onto the headrail. A headrail isn’t built to carry a curtain, and the blinds keep working on their own.
Are these curtain rod brackets metal or plastic?
Metal. They’re aluminum, not plastic and not steel. Aluminum is lighter than steel and doesn’t rust.
How much weight can these brackets hold?
We don’t list a weight rating for this model. For heavy blackout or lined velvet curtains, choose the 6-inch heavy duty brackets, which list 25 lb per bracket.
Where should I place curtain rod brackets over blinds?
4 to 6 inches above the window frame and 4 to 6 inches past each side. Open curtains then stack beside the blinds instead of covering them.
Can I buy these brackets in bulk?
Yes. Trade pricing starts at one master carton per finish, 30 or 50 units depending on the model, with discounts from 20% off retail that grow with volume. In-stock orders ship from our Pennsylvania warehouse within one business day. See partner pricing or email [email protected].
