Before you you start to rip, however, check to be sure the existing roller blinds won't be damaged. Hello Jenn - Yes, absolutely.

Currently I've got 4 of them in the house. I made sure to use heavy-duty wall anchors but never measured for studs or redrilled the brackets. I wonder.

The hole spacing that IKEA uses has nothing in common with any wall I've ever seen but it takes two whole minutes to mark and drill the bracket according to YOUR walls' stud spacing and then you can load that baby up to your heart's content.
