When it’s time to tuck away the day, the right bedroom curtain ideas will not only make your sleep space look and feel great, but help you sleep soundly too.
Thinking carefully about your drapes is a crucial part of putting together your bedroom ideas. Taking up a substantial surface area that stretches from floor to ceiling, they can make a huge impact on your design scheme.
Whether you want your curtain ideas to blend in with a relaxed scheme or make an impact with a pop of color or pattern, aesthetics are obviously important when it comes to curtains, but so is their ability to keep out sunlight when you’re trying to get your beauty sleep.
Bedroom curtain ideas
For tips on picking bedroom curtain ideas that don’t only look good but leave you feeling well rested too, we asked the experts for their advice.
1. Pick a curtain heading that suits your style

From bohemian bedroom ideas to slick modern looks, pick a curtain heading that fits with your personal style.
‘Different curtain headings will create distinctive looks,’ says Mariana Ugarte and Jen Choate, Co-Founders of Interior Fox .
‘Those looking for a modern and sleek finish should consider a curtain track system. Alternatively, for a more relaxed look try tie-top curtains. They are increasingly becoming more popular, they feel light, airy, and add a rustic element to your window.’
In this white bedroom, a fresh neutral look is accented with a black curtain pole that ties in with the picture frames and out-of-shot sideboard.
‘When working with eyelet curtains make sure to coordinate the eyelet color with the chosen curtain pole,’ advise Ugarte and Choate.
2. Go long

If you’re looking to add a feeling of decadence to your master bedroom, take your curtains to the top.
‘Give height and drama to the room by hanging the curtains higher than the window. This will elongate the window and make best use of the natural light,’ say the Interior Fox duo.
‘When measuring the window, make sure to take the full length so the curtain drops to the floor with no gaps.’
In this dark bedroom by Murphy Deesign , a small space with relatively short windows is made to feel taller with the use of George Spencer Designs fabric hung substantially above the window frame, teamed with a white ceiling that contrasts with the dark blue walls.
3. Bring pattern into a simple scheme

Curtains are a great way to add visual interest into a room, and stretch it from top to toe. If you’re looking to add interest into a generally simple bedroom scheme, pick a small format pattern that borrows its colors from accents across the room.
In this blue bedroom by Studio Duggan , a neutral backdrop of grays is enlivened by a Moroccan-inspired blue and red curtain pattern. To tie a curtain pattern into a room, drop patterns of a similar scale elsewhere, or even use the same pattern on cushions, as demonstrated here.
4. Sleep tight with a blackout lining

First and foremost, curtains are for blocking out the outside world and that includes any unwelcome natural light.
‘If the curtains are for the bedroom I’d suggest a blackout lining with integrated interlining. This will obstruct early morning sunlight, keep your room cool throughout the summer months, warm in winter and provide the best drape,’ says Harry Cole, Founder at Loom & Last .
‘Blackout lining is also a good option for living spaces at the front of the house as it restricts visibility and helps to maintain privacy.'
Blackout curtains don’t have to look heavy either. These Loom & Last curtains are blackout lined, but give the external impression of lightweight cotton.
5. Go eco-friendly with linen

Using natural materials is among the top bedroom trends right now and if a trend is good for the planet too, we’re all here for it.
‘Linen works best for an eco-friendly curtain choice,’ says Cole. ‘The advantage to choosing this natural material is that it has very little impact on the environment unlike many of the synthetic materials. Made from flax plants that require little water or pesticides, linen is regarded as the most sustainable fabric.’
In this room by interior designer Beth Webb , a linen-style curtain shows how the look can also marry rusticity with sophistication.
6. Make the curtains one of many colored accents

Curtains are a great way to bring a generous pop of color into a room, especially modern curtain ideas. With just one item, you can transform a neutrally painted room and really lead its color story. Pair it with accents of the same color group around the room to create a coherent scheme.
This guest bedroom is given warmth thanks to pink accents of different shades throughout the space, contrasted with rich leafy greens.
Creating a color scheme through soft furnishings is an excellent option for the likes of kids' rooms, where you may not want to commit to an all-out paint job.
7. Pair your curtains with a blind

Blackout linings aren’t the only way to fortify your curtains’ light-shielding abilities.
‘Alternatively, we like to pair curtains with a blind,’ say Choate and Ugarte. ‘Not only does it filter out the light and increase privacy, but it also creates a visual focal point that is sophisticated, timeless, and chic.’
This has been achieved in this gray bedroom by K&H Design , where an unusual window arrangement is turned into a centerpiece through the use of an additional sheer curtain and a blind that takes color inspiration from the bedding.
‘It’s important to ensure the fabric of the blind and curtain complement one another. Picking out a color within the fabric or pattern of the curtain is a good place to start,’ say Choate and Ugarte.
8. Add a luxurious lining

Remember, a curtain always has two sides and that means you can have double the fun - a great option for curtain closet ideas.
While not strictly necessary for rustic linen alternatives, including a lining into traditionally formal curtains is essential for making them feel finished and substantial.
To boost your luxury bedroom ideas, add a lining that adds a subtle touch of texture or deep color to channel thoughtful opulence. In this bedroom, a set of taupe curtains are lined and trimmed with a plush orange-red velvet for a delightful surprise.
9. Keep it neat with a lath and fascia heading
(Image credit: Kit Kemp)
If you’re not quite brave enough to dabble in the pelmet’s comeback, there is a more subtle way to create a neat heading to your bedroom curtains, explains interior designer Kit Kemp .
‘A covered ‘lath and fascia’ is very different to a full pelmet and is a more contemporary hanging mechanism, formed of a corded metal track fixed to a board.
The track is then hidden from view by a 5cm fascia.’
Usually covered in the same fabric as your curtains, a fascia allows for a neat and discreet curtain rail covering that doesn’t drop in front of the window, allowing maximum light in.
‘It allows an elegant pinch pleat curtain to remain on show as the curtain sits in front of the fascia rather than under and behind it when the curtains are closed,’ says Kemp.
10. Finish with a trim
(Image credit: Kit Kemp)
If you never like to leave a job unfinished, tie up your curtain design with the ultimate closer.
‘Add a contemporary twist to your window dressing with a decorative trim or pattern along the edges. This can make all the difference and can transform simple curtains into a modern design statement,’ say Choate and Ugarte.
‘We’re known for our love of detail and the same applies when it comes to curtains,’ says Kemp, who designed this bedroom with red curtains finished with a bright blue and red spotted trim.
‘We love to add detail to the leading edge, whether it be a braid, trim, piping or contrast fabric’.
Which curtains are best for the bedroom?
When choosing curtains for the bedroom, it’s important to think about how you sleep.
If you or any other occupants are light sleepers that tend to wake up with the sun, then you may want to choose curtains that are primed for blocking out light. Choosing heavier fabrics will do this, or consider adding a blackout liner to that lighter fabric you’ve fallen in love with.
If you’re wedded to the idea of breezy, slightly sheer curtains, consider layering them, or teaming them with a fitted blind that can be employed when you need the room to be as dark as possible.
How do I arrange my bedroom curtains?
In contemporary bedroom design, a laidback feel is what’s really on trend, so be prepared to let your curtains do what they want. If you are really keen to tie them back, cords and ties will feel more relaxed than wall-fixed holdbacks.
Think also about the length of your curtains.
‘For a look that feels more luxurious, go one step further and add additional length to the curtain so that it gathers at the bottom,’ say Ugarte and Choate. ‘An additional 3-6 inches is necessary for this technique. This style is more appropriate for rooms with less traffic, where the floors aren’t cleaned as often.’

Bedroom curtain ideas – To create a cosy and peaceful sleeping space
Stylists and interior designers will often tell you that curtains can really make a bedroom, but only if chosen with care. We've pulled together some of our favourite bedroom curtain ideas to help you pick the perfect pair.
Choosing bedroom curtains can sometimes feel overwhelming with heading type, fabric weights, length, pattern, colour and practical considerations all needing careful thought. However, before getting bogged down in the finer details it is important to remember that the primary role of bedroom curtains is to block out the light and keep your bedroom warm. When considering any bedroom ideas and decor decisions always keep this at the back of your mind.
Bedroom curtain ideas
'Curtains are always in fashion in one form or another,' says interior designer Yvonne Jones. Yvonne advises that curtains are the ideal window treatment idea for adding both warmth and sound insulation, 'I think living in a colder climate means we like to feel wrapped up and having curtains frames the view.
They also create a different aesthetic, giving a bigger visual effect,' she says.
'Curtains can give a room something it's lacking, whether that's warmth, simplicity, elegance or drama.'
1. Seek voiles for privacy without blocking out light
(Image credit: Future PLC/ James French)
Bedrooms require privacy at all times, but where having heavy curtains drawn limits the light quality within the space voiles are the perfect solution. The lightweight window treatment restricts the view in but doesn't restrict the brightness, ideal for a small bedroom idea to invite an airy and open feel.
'Using voile curtains in combination with black out roller blinds is a really effective way to gain a high level of control over lighting and privacy levels' advises Hannah Cooley, product designer for Hillary. 'Allowing for night time privacy and darkness that can easily be switched up to let sunlight through during the day.'
2. Introduce pattern to a plain room
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Mark Bennett)
Nothing adds drama to a plain bedroom better than a big, bold pattern.
Tropical or botanical prints, similar to these curtains, are always popular for bedroom decor to add a touch of timeless appeal. When opting for a colourful patterned curtain, keep the rest of the room simple to allow your curtains to do all the talking. This grey bedroom idea has been finished in a pale blue to work with the dark blue and green pattern.
3. Draw attention to a shapely bay window
(Image credit: Curtains2go)
When planning how to dress a bay window, make a feature with a combination of blinds to accentuate the shape of the bay and elegant drapes to highlight the height of the room.
Choosing a pattern helps to add interest, but keeping the pattern subtle helps to avoid overwhelming the room. Loosely matching the colour to the bedding creates a seamless look.
4. Choose a pattern that goes with the view
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Dominic Blackmore)
'Choose a fabric that enhances your view – life a leaf pattern,' suggests Yvonne.
In this bedroom, the view of the garden has been framed with floral print curtains in neutral colours. The curtains continue the botanical theme running through the rest of the room. The same pattern has even been used to create scatter cushions to tie them together with the vibrant green bed. Add authentic botanical touches with a scattering of house plant ideas.
5. Hang lined curtains to reduce light leakages
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Dominic Blackmore)
When choosing what fabric to use Victoria Walker, product manager at Hillarys , suggests thinking about the function, you want the curtains to perform in your bedroom. 'Voiles are sheer and translucent and a great way of letting the light in while still offering privacy, but black-out, lined curtains are a better choice for bedrooms.'
'I'd always line curtains though – unless they are voiles – as lining makes your curtains look fuller, helps reduce light leakages and provides extra privacy. Coloured lining is also available – think about grey or black facing out instead of white or ecru.
'
6. Invest in linen curtains for a relaxed look
(Image credit: Future PLC)
Medium-weight linen or a linen mix curtain are perfect for creating a relaxed look. The navy blue curtains here hang all the way to the floor and add another layer of texture in this modern bedroom. However, they are quite sheer so it is worth investing in a blackout window blind idea to hang behind them, to make sure you still get that good night's sleep.
7. Choose a pattern that will standard the test of time
(Image credit: Future PLC/ David Lovatti)
If you do decide to opt for a pattern make sure it's a design you'll love for a long time. 'Good curtains last for years so you need to really love the pattern,' advises Yvonne. These pink patterned curtains feature a timeless design that will work with a variety of colour schemes from neutral beige to a bright pink or red.
8. Hold curtains back with alternative tie-backs
(Image credit: Future PLC)
'Avoid fabric-shaped tie-backs, which are old-fashioned, and choose woven leather, beaded or even tasselled ones instead,' says Yvonne.
Tie-backs are a great way to update existing curtains, swap your fabric tie for something more modern like a leather tie or these rope ties with wooden hearts.
9. Allow curtains to puddle in front of a tall window
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Dominic Blackmore)
If you have long windows in your room order curtains that are a little longer than the window so they puddle. This works best with lightweight linen curtains that you don't need to worry about creasing badly.
However, puddled velvet curtains can also look sumptuous when creating cosy bedroom. Just make sure you don't go overboard, and only add an inch or two of extra length – you don't want them to become a trip hazard.
10. Pair velvet curtains with a sheer voile
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Colin Poole)
'I love well-made, hand-finished curtains hanging almost ceiling to floor, with a sheer voile,' says Victoria. A sheer voile is the perfect solution to add some extra privacy to your bedroom if it overlooks the street, while still allowing light in.
For a luxurious look, pair the delicate sheer voile with dark heavy velvet curtains.
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Polly Eltes)
What you hang your curtains on can make just as big an impact as the window dressing itself. Pick a pole that co-ordinates with your fabric and suits your furniture style. The wooden rail in this bedroom compliments the earthy green and navy blue bedroom colour scheme. The wooden design also works with the brown leather armchair in the corner of the room.
12. Match your curtains to your walls
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Dominic Blackmore)
Make a bold statement by colour blocking in your bedroom and matching your curtain colour to your walls. The cobalt blue curtains wrap this entire blue bedroom idea in the vibrant blue hue. When colour blocking, add variation by playing with different shades and textures in the same colour.
13. Add a boxy pelmet
(Image credit: Future PLC)
'A flat, boxy, straight pelmet adds neatness to a window,' says Yvonne.
'When choosing a pattern. Make sure you take the whole room into consideration.' The boxy pelmet in this bedroom echoes the smart grey wall panels, and ties the retro geometric pattern in with the rest of the bedroom. In a small bedroom such a bold pattern could be overwhelming, however the pelmet ensures it looks neat and tidy.
14. Team patterned curtains and blinds
(Image credit: Future PLC/ Colin Poole)
Curtains and blinds can look wonderful when layered together. You can keep it simple with a plain blind under a patterned curtain. But for a more playful look team different patterns. In this room polka dot blinds have been partnered with contrasting striped curtains.
When clashing patterns, it is important to make sure that they have at least one thing in common, whether that is colour or pattern style. In this room the curtains have the same purple colour scheme in common.
Which curtain style is best for bedrooms?
Heavier, lined curtains that will minimise any light leaks will be the most natural fit for a bedroom.
That isn't to say you can't opt for a light linen curtain, just bear in mind you will probably need to consider investing in a blind to hang underneath. The same goes for delicate voile curtains which are best paired with heavy velvet curtains.
If you are still choosing between blinds and curtains in your bedroom, it is important to note that while they can both look amazing, blinds aren't a good fit for all windows. 'If dressing a really wide window, blinds can look awkward and out of scale,' explains Sarita Sharma, Ideal Home's resident stylist. 'Likewise, on a really tall window, blinds can become cumbersome. Especially Roman ones, as you have to pull the full weight of the fabric up each time.'
Should bedroom curtains be long or short?
This is all down to the size of your windows, and personal preference. The biggest benefit of long bedroom curtains that hang to the floor is insulation, so if you know your room can get particularly cold this might be something you want to bear in mind.
You will also need to think about the shape of your windows and what will suit them.
In general, hanging curtains to the floor will always help a room look stylish and elegant. 'I love curtains that are fitted to the ground – well 1cm off if I'm being fussy,' says Victoria. Yvonne agrees: 'I like them to just touch the floor. If they puddle, then the fabric can crease or kind and not drape properly, as well as making opening and closing a nightmare.'
However, puddle curtains can look lovely against a tall window. However, you will need to be careful with your fabric choice, and bear in mind how you are going to clean under them.
What colour should bedroom curtains be and should they be lighter or darker than the walls?
It is a good idea to consider soothing and peaceful colours such as green, blue or pink in a bedroom. These colours are all known for their soothing and calming qualities. Blue has even been said to help fight insomnia and anxiety.
When choosing the colour and shade of your bedroom curtains it is important to bear in mind the colour scheme and décor of the rest of the room.
As a general guide there should only be one stand-out star in a bedroom. So if the rest of your bedroom is littered in bold colours and patterns consider keeping your curtains in a subtle neutral tone. However, if your room is already neutral, you can inject some life into the room with vivid coloured curtains.
Should bedroom curtains match the bedding?
Matching curtains to your bedding is an easy way to tie a bedroom together. However, beware of creating a stiff dated look by making them too matchy-matchy, for example using the same material pattern on your curtains and bedding. If you have patterned curtains, matching scatter cushions are a subtle and fool-proof way of tying the room together.
Alternatively for a more modern look, opt for bedding and curtains that are in a similar or complimentary colour palette. You can even choose to match textures instead of colours, for example pairing linen curtains and bedding in complimentary colours for a relaxed bedroom.

Curtains for the bedroom - 80 photo ideas, types of curtains, how to choose
The element that plays a key role in creating this feeling, as well as protecting the residents from the outside world, is the curtains in the bedroom, the choice of which should not be postponed until the last moment. We will tell you how not to get lost in all the variety of assortment and buy textiles that are perfect for your design. Types of curtains for the bedroom
Curtains are not just a straight sheet on the window, protecting from prying eyes. They can vary in shape, volume, size, creating bright accents in the interior or complementing its minimalist look. French, Japanese, classic… Which one to choose? Let's go through the most popular types and try to figure out how they look in the bedroom.
French curtains
A type of curtain where the textiles are matched to create many rounded pleats along their entire length. The effect is achieved with the help of cords from the wrong side of the matter that pass through the loops. Such curtains in the bedroom look very solemn, especially in combination with patterned material.
By choosing a light translucent fabric, you can achieve the effect of airiness or combine it with a more massive one. nine0003 Austrian curtains
This type of curtains has common features with French ones, while having a more restrained decor. When lowered, horizontal folds are only along the bottom edge, leaving the top straight. Elegant and at the same time concise.
Roman shades
Despite its ancient origin, Roman blinds in the bedroom look quite modern and practical. This is a strip of fabric stretched over a structure that is installed by the window. nine0003
Roman blinds fixed, vertically adjustable. For them, dense impenetrable textiles are often used, which reliably protect the room from sunlight.
Japanese curtains
These are several rectangular, even sheets that are fixed with rigid inserts at the bottom to prevent wrinkling. They can be with one-sided or central sliding. Japanese curtains resemble a large screen, ideally fitting into a minimalist bedroom interior.
nine0003 Roller blinds
Comfortable type of curtains for the bedroom, the fabric of which is wound on a special roller. Thanks to this mechanism, matter can be fixed in any position, adjusting the level of lighting in the room as desired. It will look good as plain textiles, as well as a canvas with an elegant pattern.
Classic curtains
The most common option, which is two straight fabrics with a separation in the center. Despite the seemingly simple look, these curtains can be decorated with any patterns or accessories, creating a unique design in the bedroom interior. nine0003
Types of curtains according to the method of fastening
A more inconspicuous, but no less important point, understanding of the features of which will greatly simplify the choice of ideal curtains, is the method of attaching to the cornice. According to this criterion, several types can be distinguished.
Curtains for the bedroom with drawstrings
Attached to the cornice by tying ribbons or string around the structure.
Best suited for thinner fabrics, but wide stripes are recommended for thick fabrics. Large bows help create an airy design, which is important for children's bedrooms. The advantage of the view is the absence of extraneous sounds that usually occur when moving along the eaves. nine0003 Curtains for the bedroom with grommets
The upper part of the curtains includes eyelets, which are put on the eaves. The advantage of the view is the invisibility of the method of fastening, which in some cases can visually increase the flows or create a feeling of unity of the artistic composition of the canvas. In addition, with the help of eyelets, uniform folds are obtained. The density of the details reduces the wear of the fabric.
Curtains for the bedroom on the drawstring
A drawstring is a pocket-tunnel in the upper part of the fabric, into which the cornice tube is threaded. They are quiet and have a neat appearance. They are considered a type of straight curtains that form light folds.
nine0003 Curtains for the bedroom with braid
Unlike the previous version, this one is distinguished by frequent vertical folds, which give the product dynamism and splendor. The effect is achieved with the help of sewn-in cords that are pulled together. At the same time, it is recommended to choose a fabric wider than the window space used, since when assembled, the curtains can become one and a half to two times smaller.
Curtains in the bedroom on rings with clothespins
This view can be found in the interiors of many apartments. Curtains are attached to the cornice thanks to special rings with clothespins that extend beyond the fabric. The most practical option for curtains for the bedroom, which does not require additional effort during installation. Creates a classic design that suits different styles. nine0003
Which fabric to choose?
Of course, it is better to give preference to natural materials, especially in the bedroom.
Cotton and linen have a pleasant texture and breathability. But such a choice is more suitable for apartments located on the north side, since under the influence of the sun the canvas fades faster. You can additionally use blinds or roller blinds. But we shouldn't discount curtains made of artificial materials - they are not only practical, but also characterized by great variety. For example, polyester has a wide range of textures. Taffeta creates a light feel and is suitable for voluminous curtains. Viscose looks luxurious and is washable. Organza is the perfect solution for an airy light bedroom interior. nine0003
In terms of décor, you can find a wide variety of options on the modern market - from simple patterns to textiles with complex prints. In the bedroom, try to use plain light-colored curtains that will help create a calm atmosphere.
How to choose curtains in the bedroom according to style?
The style of the bedroom plays an important role in choosing the right curtain option.
After all, if you followed a certain direction in the design of the room, then you will have to adhere to it in every detail. nine0003 Classic bedroom curtains
Despite its traditional character, the classic style does not lose popularity today. In this solution, curtains play an important role in creating a luxurious as well as cozy design.
According to the rules, two levels of matter are used: a dense canvas with a floral pattern, under which is a transparent veil. The best fit for this interior - French or Austrian.
It is desirable that the color scheme of the curtains be light, pastel, like the interior itself. In the bedroom, every element should contribute to relaxation and sound sleep. If several colors are used in the room, be guided by the color of the bedspread. nine0003
Contemporary bedroom curtains
This style has no clear boundaries and rules. Following it, you need to focus on general design principles, not be afraid of experiments or unusual combinations.
Classic curtains are well suited, the bright accent of which is the color, as well as an interesting pattern. Roman, Japanese types will fit in combination with a long curtain of a different shade.
Curtains for the bedroom in Provence style
The Provence style in the bedroom loves coziness and rustic charm, so curtains are its indispensable element. Pay attention to light airy fabrics or textiles with a floral pattern. The good old cell also looks good, especially if such matter has already been used in the interior, for example, as a bedspread on the bed, tablecloths. nine0003
The color palette should ideally match the overall design, standing out due to the delicate texture and graceful folds.
Minimalistic bedroom curtains
At the mention of a minimalist style, the question may arise: why are curtains needed here? After all, design involves a limited set of items that serve only practical purposes. But in a private space like the bedroom, curtains are more of a necessity than a decoration.
Curtains must not contain textures, but be in white, gray or black. A simple classic curtain, roller blinds, as well as Roman blinds will be enough to create the desired effect. nine0003
Additional selection criteria for curtains
Bedroom curtains are not only a decorative element. They serve the practical purpose of providing privacy. Relevant for those who live on the ground floor or whose windows are located close to the neighboring house. Therefore, in the evening, dense fabrics are used, and in the daytime, light translucent tulles are used.
If you are not afraid of prying eyes, pay attention to where the window goes. The sunny side can bring some inconvenience to residents. An excellent option in this case is Roman or Japanese curtains, which will reliably protect the bedroom from excessive light. nine0003
When all practical issues are resolved, you can concentrate on decorative ones. To do this, use textiles with patterns or buy additional accessories, for example, pick up curtains with tassels or a lambrequin.
Pay attention to the dimensions of the space and ceilings. In an interior with a large area, any solution will look harmonious, but small bedrooms require a special approach. The same applies to the height of the walls - those that are more than a few meters can be used to demonstrate beautiful patterns on textiles. nine0003
Curtains for a small bedroom
Bedrooms, which do not have an impressive amount of square meters, and most of our houses have such, are very demanding in relation to window design.
