Hi everyone

Looking for some advice on this please.
It isnt a bay window but its 'set back' from the top of the wall. Im wanting to put curtains up, so a curtain pole. See the pictures below.

Im thinking the brackets would have to been hanging down ones, which i have seen in B & Q. Would that be correct?

Then the right hand side, im really struggling with what would be the best thing to do? See picture 3.

Has anyone got any ideas & advice?

Curtain poles are for straight runs , so would work outside reveal, curtain rail on ceiling would work .
 
Probably best with ceiling mounted/hanging down brackets, unless you can secure maybe a 2x2 or 3x2 batten and maybe a pelmet? As for the side use a single curtain from a pair?

You could fit a curtain track, which could curve around that bend, maybe fixed to that ceiling, but you would need to check the suitability of the ceiling for fixing first.
 
You don't want all the heat from that radiator going up behind the curtains.

I'd aim for something close to the glazing, like your current blinds do.
