What Coloured Curtains Will Go Well in a White Living Room?
Look closely, these ideas might just help you find the perfect curtains for white living rooms
White is the best canvas on which to experiment with all types of colours, light or dark. In the case of living rooms with white walls, a visually pleasing way to contrast or complement those walls is to choose a vibrant or warm curtain colour. Here, I’ve explored different coloured curtains for white living rooms and the type of setting they create.
White with white
Accentuating white walls with other shades of white creates a layered effect that saves the room from looking too sterile. When white curtains are combined with other furnishings predominantly in the same colour range in a white living room, the result is a light, clean and inviting space.

Tip: Borders on white curtains look eye-catching, and smart, too. They add a decorative quality to the curtains and white walls. Any colour, say blue, red, teal or pink (according to the overall palette of the room), would make good options for white living curtains.
Red with white
Not everyone is confident about using red as a colour for curtains for white living rooms – I personally find this hue a little intimidating. However, this strong, statement-making colour has the power to create a bold look in any room. Especially when this colour is contrasted with white in an interior, the effect is smart, crisp and sharp (and shows how confident the owner is).

Green with white
The colour green has a bright, welcoming appeal because it’s the colour of nature. It can be the perfect hue of curtains for a white living room, as it can add a refreshing, energetic vibe to the space.

Two tones with white
White is a great backdrop for not just one but even a combination of two or more hues. Curtains sporting yellow and grey, blue and green, or pink and peach can easily make their home in a living room with white walls. All colours can piggyback on white to create a vibrant scheme.

Patterns
Black and white stripes
White walls are ideal not only for colours but for prints, too. Long black-and-white vertical stripes, when used on curtains in a white living room, can lend a dynamic quality to the space. Vertical lines also give the illusion of extended height, making the room seem larger.
Here’s how stripes can be the silver lining in your decor

Beige has an inherent warmth to it, and can help create a soothing, relaxing mood. This shade when used as white living room curtains, can add just the lightest touch of colour to an all-white room without making the scheme look too dramatic.
