I hope someone can help

I'm trying to put some verticle blinds up in my new build flat.

I feel the wall is plasterboard above where i need to attach the blinds rail. (Inside the frame)

What screws would I need to attach this ?

Below ifsa pic of one of the windoes

It looks like those doors open inwards, if you attach a blind inside the reveal I don’t think the door will open.
Better off fitting it to the flat part of the wall above the opening.

Good point I didn't think of that.

But I have other bedroom windows aswell... so switch screws would I need ?
 
As above.

You'll likely have a steel lintel behind the plasterboard too which will be fun. Just pay a handyman it will be much better than spending a ton of money on drills and metal screws or messing it up and having to redecorate
