Window treatments over blinds that can’t be removed?

Posted by Blinds Shades | Posted on 12-10-2010

My new apartment came with those cheap plastic blinds on the windows, and we’re not allowed to take them down, not even if we put them back up before we move out. I really don’t like how they look, and I was thinking of just rolling them up all the way and putting something over them. Are curtains my only option, or would it be possible to put something like a roman shade over the blinds without it being too bulky?

I think curtains are the only option really. I had the same problem. I pulled the blinds ALL the way to the top, so they are barely visible.
Then I took one of those curtain rails that has a spring in it, and hung some curtains from there. No holes in the wall, more privacy and I like the look better.

	You should be able to do a Roman shade. If you use tension rods, just set them in front of the shade. If that seems too bulky, you could do a valance instead of the whole curtain. References :
