Before anything else, it’s important to take a close look at the room where the curtains will be installed. What colours are the walls and the floors? Is the furniture bright and vivid? Golden rule, if there is already something dominant in the room, the curtains would be better as a gentle colour.
If statement pieces for furniture and décor adorn your room, curtains in softer and more neutral, earthy or pastel tones would be the perfect option here. Think off-white, sandy browns, light grey, dusty pink and consider sheers for a light feeling too. Texture can make all the difference here!
