Flush Mount Curtain Rod Brackets
Brushed Nickel · Set of 2 · 3 in From the Wall
Short projection brackets that keep a 3/4- to 1-inch rod about 3 inches from the wall, so the curtain hangs close to the window and the rod doesn’t stick out into the room. Rated 5 lb, for light curtains. They mount on the ceiling too. Rod not included.

Flush Mount Curtain Rod Brackets: How Close the Rod Sits
“Flush mount” here means a short projection, not a rod touching the wall: the curtain needs a little room to slide. These brackets hold the rod about 3 inches from the wall. A rod that close gives you:
- less light at the edges, because the gap between curtain and wall is small;
- less in the way in a narrow hallway or beside a door;
- a neater line on a small window, where a deep bracket looks like a shelf bracket.
Fits your window?
5 lb · 3 in from the wall. Two brackets and installation kits included.
Where Short Projection Brackets Work
- Hallway and stair windows, where people pass close to the wall.
- Windows beside a door that swings near the frame.
- Small kitchen and bathroom windows over a sink or counter.
- Inside a window recess: screw the brackets up into the top of the opening.
Small windows in tight spaces
In a hallway, a deep bracket is something you brush with your shoulder. A 3-inch bracket keeps the rod tight to the wall and the curtain out of the walkway. A short white curtain stays well within the 5 lb rating.
When 3 Inches Isn’t Enough: Blinds and Trim
Measure from the wall to the front of your blinds or trim and add 1 to 2 inches. If the total is over 3 inches, choose a deeper bracket:
- the over blinds curtain rod brackets, 5-inch reach;
- the window trim curtain rod brackets in brushed nickel, for molding;
- the heavy duty curtain rod brackets, up to 6 inches, for a deep sill.
Brushed Nickel Close to the Wall
Brushed nickel is a soft satin silver. On a white or gray wall, it reads as quiet hardware. It matches nickel door handles, hinges and faucets. Gray, white, blue and pastel curtains look calm under it, which suits transitional and coastal rooms where black metal feels heavy. The brushed texture also hides fingerprints better than polished chrome.
Match the metal you already see
On a small bracket, the finish matters more than the shape. Match it to the door hardware, switch plate or faucet near the window. Two finishes that match look planned.

How to Install Close to Wall Curtain Rod Brackets
You need a drill, a screwdriver, a level, a tape measure and a pencil.
- Step 1 of 5
Mark the height. Mark both brackets above the frame, or right under the ceiling for a taller look.
- Step 2 of 5
Level the marks. A rod that runs downhill shows at this distance from the wall.
- Step 3 of 5
Set the anchors. Use a stud where one lines up, anchors elsewhere.
- Step 4 of 5
Screw the brackets on. Tighten until the base sits flat.
- Step 5 of 5
Hang the curtain. Slide it onto the rod and set the rod in both brackets.
Check the trim before you drill
Hold the rod where it will sit and look along it. If it touches the trim, raise the brackets or pick a deeper bracket.

FAQ
Distance from the wall, blinds, recesses and curtain types.
How close to the wall does the rod sit?
About 3 inches. That keeps the curtain near the glass and leaves room for the fabric to slide. The distance is fixed: the brackets don’t adjust.
Will short projection brackets clear my blinds?
Only if the blinds stick out very little. Measure to the front of the headrail and add 1 to 2 inches. Over 3 inches, use 5-inch or 6-inch brackets.
Can I mount them inside a window frame?
Yes. Screw them up into the top of the recess, as on a ceiling. The curtain then hangs right in front of the glass.
What curtains work on close to wall brackets?
Light ones: sheers, café curtains, unlined cotton or linen. The rating is 5 lb.
Will grommet curtains fit this close to the wall?
Yes, but grommet folds swing toward the wall too, so the back folds may touch it. Rings or clip rings hang straight below the rod and avoid that.
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].
