What color, design, style of curtains should I hang in my formal Living Room?
I have a carmel wall living room with “paprika” colored couches. The trim in the room is white (we’re not painting it, even though we should) and the blinds are a dark wood (almost purple). I’m having trouble with the curtain design. We bought the drapery hardware before the curtains were picked out – nice wooden rods. The rod is too big for typical “pocket” valences or sheers. And with Pinch Pleat drapes, I don’t like how the hook shows when you clip on the ring. And colors … I found some curtains that matched the color of the couches, but it was too much of that one color. I’ve tried paisley sheers that had both the carmel and the paprika and even the purple to blend with the blinds, but the pocket was too small. I’m getting frustrated!
Prime and paint your blinds white before doing anything else. That will set a neutral back drop and will free your choices of curtain style and color considerably.
One suggestion would be to go with simple panels on either side of the sheers. You seem to have a lot of color going on so you really don’t need to “match” your drapes to your colors. When there are too many strong color focal points, the strong colored items will lose their impact and end up competing with each other creating a feeling of “uptight” or “chaotic” rather than chic or tranquil. Go with a neutral panel. If you like the look of pinch pleates, but not the visibility of the hooks, have the hooks put behind the curtain and no one will be able to see them.
This room will ultimately be a reflection of your preferences, but toning down the blinds as well as choosing neutral panels or curtains will add an element of calm and will make your present vibrant colors pop rather than compete.
