I'd love to see a pic of the area. But, have you thought about hanging the rod above the frame? Or from the ceiling? Either of these ideas will give the window the look of being taller and the room larger.

How to Hang a Curtain Rod from the Ceiling

Can you go to a local store that has a good selection of curtain rod options? I know in my area Joanne fabrics has so many different ones.

Can you purchase a beautiful telescoping rod and set it inside of your window frame?
It's ok just hang as high as possible and mount on wall a few inches beside frames.
