Need help for bedroom curtains

8 years ago

Hi,

I need some help urgently with the curtains for the window that is covered with this plain blue sheet (ignore the blue). I need something that goes with both my sofa upholstery and the wallpaper behind my bed.

I want something with some pattern because I think a plain colour would be too bland, which I can figure even from this bright blue.

I thought of an off white with just some motifs on it, but I'm not relay sure.

Please if possible add as many pictures for reference. It helps me to imagine better.

Thanks

In that room, I would want custom drapes. If you go that route, a designer will be help you at no additional cost. The designer would bring fabric samples into your home further assisting you in finding the perfect look. I really don't think you will find anything ready made that will be even a close second for what that window needs.

Good luck!

There is a lot of pattern going on. I do not see any table lamps. It appears that you need accessories, and once you get these, it might help with the curtain choice.

Hi, softyjane. You have a very pretty sheet set, and seem to like pink, so let's begin with a fresh coat of pink on all four walls. If someone can build you a little shelf to sit in the window, you could paint a basket, too, and put all your small items in it. Your food tray would make a nice picture background in the window. Then, some hooks on the right wall to hang your bags from will make things a bit roomier. White trim at the window will make it seem bigger, as well. If someone can do carpentry work for you, then you can create even more space by raising your bed high and making a loft bed with it. then you will have room below to put whatever you like - a chair, a desk, shelves - and place a curtain or bead strands in front for privacy. This is just to give some inspiration - yours will look special to your likes: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5lDtTj0CQlo/0.jpg Hope that helps, and that you get the bedroom of your dreams!

Hello, Here are some general color tips for you to help narrow the type of feel you want to go with. If you want to go with pale shades of a color it will make the space seem larger and airier, while intense or dark shades make spaces seem smaller and more closed in. Shades of red and yellow stimulate feelings of energy and excitement but also sometimes of anger, agitation or irritability. Hopes this helps! -K&N Sales

Basics first, please get rid of any plastic furniture like that chair. secondly all table tops need to be cleared of little mirrors, table clocks etc. just place three most loved items of your choice ! Arrangement can also be improved the table could come on the side and bed could be centred a bit better (along the window behind it). Walls can be painted a neutral shade like light beige with a rug of your choice on the floor (contrasting- like red so that the pink curtains could go with it)If you could change the curtains then the best option would be to pick a solid colour of your choice and a matching rug (blue, red etc whichever is your fav colour but please avoid printed cutrains)

You could perhaps reverse the bed :) If not try this idea ,that blue will need to go its too stark for the window .

How can you hang drapes with bed? I'd go with dark wood blinds. Change bedding to a neutral.use pillows to pull in furniture, headboard and wallpaper.

I too, think that dark wooden blinds would be a good option. It would complement the dark ceiling and trim colors.

Please remove the wallpaper , paint your wall a nice warm taupe, get coordinating bedding and drapes , a geometric pattern or stripes in a rich green , or golden yellow , add cushions in that tone to your couch . I would make the drapes wide enough to close at night , but if you need the privacy then do semi sheers in the middle.

Hi,

I can't remove the wallpaper, I just got it done. And I need curtains that go with it. That blue covering the window is definitely going, its just a temporary sheet.

I am attaching a picture for an idea of the kind of drapes I am looking for.

What are you going to do with the bedding - it should be changed. It is difficult to recommend curtains, when there is so much pattern in the space.

The bedding was temporary and it definitely doesn't go with the room. I just feel plain curtains would not go with the wallpaper.

And I am not sure exactly how a print would look. If you could help me with a few reference pictures, maybe I can make a decision.

Thanks

The drapes in the photo are custom. You will not find them in a store. You will need to have them made.

Best wishes!

With that wallpaper I would suggest going with a striped fabric if you don't want something solid. Most of the other patterns will clash with your wallpaper. For the color, I would think of neutral colors, something soft that will blend with the room. Dark or bright colors might bring too much attention to the window.

You have the ceiling height to have a nice heavy rod just above the top of you window that could run the ceiling width. That will give you the space to draw curtains back to expose the entire window.

I highly suggest that you work with a designer. A good designer has access to literally thousands of fabric choices and will be able to help you in selecting the perfect fabric and design for your room.

Hi, Im planning on going with the suggestion given by Genevieve. Im thinking of taking the turquoise colour from my wallpaper and getting pink flowers embroidered on it. Let me know what you guys think.

And also I'd like to know what type of silk is best for curtains, and if there is anything I need to take care of while using silk.

Thanks

Good !

but no to the pink flowers embroidered on the curtains unless you remove the wall paper :)

Use Dupioni silk but you will need to add lining to protect the fabric from fading and to get a bit of weight .
