Hi, am hoping someone will have a good idea for me.

Son left behind a large corner desk unit and other cupboards. I don't really use it as a desk with a chair and have some storage under the footwell area.

Was wondering how to add a pretty curtain around the curve - WITHOUT spoiling the desk or making lots of holes in case he later claims it.

Would sticky back velcro maybe work? Don't think drawing pins would hold it.

    My first thought was sticky backed Velcro, although it may be easier to do an L shape (in line with end cabinets) rather than a curve

    Ah yes maybe an l-shape is the answer. Its easy to do a curtain gathered - but the fixing is the problem.

    If you didn't mind a few small holes, and wanted to do an L shape instead of a curve, you could use curtain wire (like for net curtains), use two lengths then the curtain would be easy to access in the centre as well as the ends.

    You could attach underneath the desktop as opposed to on the edge, so it couldn't be seen.

    Thanks AA - yes was thinking of maybe just using elastic. Shall have to try and get some small hooks.
