This is a common problem DIYers face. It may be a bit late to help your individual case, but for others that are currently facing this dilemma:
Purchase "self-drilling" screws to install your brackets. 1" screws should be more than sufficient length for most shades. A power driver is a must, as the screw will need to spin around many times at high speed to pierce the metal laminate behind the drywall.

Good Questions: Bottom-up Roller Shades

Great question Jen!

We deal with this type of dilemma all the time. Just how exactly do we make traditions-old interiors appeal to the current sensibilities? For best results, make sure that from the very beginning, your approach and mindset is also current. From pattern selection on the porcelain, to the shape of the plates themselves - you'll be happier with the results if you've been careful with your planning from the very beginning.

Arrange your plates in geometrics, square patterns for example. Place rows and columns, so that perhaps you have four rows across, and four columns up. The top row can have your smallest plates, the bottom will have the largest.

Another arrangement for the contemporary eye is the constellation pattern, where the plates are arranged in a manner that appears as if you had just thrown the plates in the air, and they magically landed on the wall in a broken up stellar pattern. Beautiful.

If you actually plan on setting the table with blue and white, same thing - from the beginning plan your aesthetic with the proper mindset. Use the blue and white as fun accent to your table, don't set the entire table in blue and white because that look is taken - by grandma. Use white plates with greek key patterns, red, grey or yellow napkins, weathered whicker place mats, curry yellow, red, grey or green stained glassware, and voila! A chic table for the younger blue and white lovers!
