(Image credit: Paul Raeside)
Changing up your bedroom curtain ideas is an easy way to switch the vibe of your space. Through different curtain fabrics, styles, and ways of hanging, you can transform your room's energy. You could turn a more formal bedroom design into an ideal relaxing haven with just a small change.
Drapes are a major design factor when it comes to your bedroom ideas. They're a dominant element of the room's soft furnishings, while also working hard for privacy and keeping the light out when needed.
'Windows and curtains define the mood of the space,' says interior designer Rohit Bhoite , 'so choosing them is a big decision.'
With help of some top interior designers, we've pulled together our favorite bedroom curtain ideas, ranging from different fabrics and styles to eye-catching patterns, pelmets, and trims.
1. Try wrap around bedroom curtains

When we think of bedrooms as cocoons, drapes can play a big role in making that a reality. Here curtains wrap around the whole room, making this space a textured, cozy and decadent room.
Also by enveloping the room with curtains, the light is blocked or filtered all through the day – a big factor in how to get a good night's sleep.
The made-to-measure sofa bed was inspired by designer John Galliano ’s love of the bias cut. The diagonal lines elongate its perfectly square two-meter dimensions.
2. Consider double bedroom curtain sets for more functionality

Layering drapes is a great modern bedroom idea that serves several purposes. The curtains add layering, inject color and also help modulate light that enters the room, giving you more control over both mood and privacy.
'Privacy was a major concern in this apartment as the windows look out towards other buildings,' says Ravi Vazirani, interior designer, Ravi Vazirani Design Studio .
'The sheers help bring in light during the day and are paired with thicker curtains made with two shades of taffeta silk, that allow for complete darkness. The sheers contrast the richness of the tafetta and compliment the textures of the wall.'
3. Install blackout bedroom curtains

Blackout curtains are perfect for blocking out the glare of streetlights, the sun, or even passing cars. These are ideal for those who have trouble relaxing and need a pitch dark bedroom to fall into deep sleep. Making this small change in your master bedroom can help you sleep better.
‘If you like to sleep in a blackout, install full shades with side channels to avoid a light leak. If you prefer to rise with the sun, unlined drapery works well,’ advises Anna Beeber, interior designer, Champalimaud Design.
Bedroom curtains have to be practical and easily maintainable. 'So be careful about shape and form and fabric choices. Pick ones that are machine-washable,’ says interior designer Naomi Astley Clarke.
4. Make a modern bedroom curtain choice with sheers

There's something so charming about sheer curtains, and they're perfect for a luxury bedroom idea. Light and loose, sheers can make a space feel airy while still giving enough privacy during the day.
See-through drapes give this loft bedroom an ethereal, light, and airy look. These work for people who don't need complete darkness to sleep, and for rooms that already have some privacy – for example rooms that face private gardens rather than street-facing rooms.
'Depending on the drape of the material, different kinds of fabrics create drama within the space,' says Rohit. 'With multiple options of long/short curtains and sheers, the options to filler the light and to match the upholstery for the interior space are aplenty.'
5. Bring in fabric blinds as an alternative to bedroom curtains
(Image credit: Grounded)
Roman blinds ensure whether the room is either well-lit or dim and moody.
In a sense, these heavily affect the quality of the environment inside. When it comes to alternatives to curtain ideas, many interior designers advise blinds for modern bedrooms.
While choosing the blind material, you must think of the amount of maintenance you can give it. If you don't have a lot of time to indulge in household upkeep, you'll want to choose a fabric that can be easily unhooked from the railing and put in the washing machine. Opt out of super plush fabrics and textiles like taffeta, velvet, and faux silks; unless you can take them to the dry cleaners now and then.
Also carefully consider the window length, width, and depth to determine the size of slats or fabrics. Ideally, deeper windows look best with the wide blind slat sizes, and small, shallow windows work better with row slats.
Consider fabrics that have small stripes or subtle patterns so your window treatment doesn't overwhelm the bedroom. 'Roman shades are always a great alternative to curtain panels.
You can dress up the design with added trims, pleats, or a fun fabric to make them unique to the room,' says Jenni Warsitz, interior designer and founder of By Design Interiors . 'They can also be streamlined, clean, and simple if needed. I love utilizing woven wood shades. They add a natural element to the room that can soften the space.”
6. Go for matching pelmet and curtains

While designing a bedroom, think of interesting window treatments that look grand. When designing a glam bedroom idea, bringing in pelmet frames that add structure to the drapes can really up the level of luxuriousness.
By using the same fabric on the pelmet and drape, you can create a pretty vignette by the window. Also, consider picking a curtain pole that coordinates with your fabric and suits your furniture style. From wooden rails to metallic ones, you can take your pick.
The thick drapery also aids in privacy, adding extra functionality. 'I like the idea of doing laser cut panel designs inside a window for privacy.
It adds a decorative look while maintaining simplicity and low maintenance,' says Jessica.
7. Try this wall-to-wall curtain idea
(Image credit: www.ti-mediacontent.com)
In this architect's home, a single curtain is used along the whole width of the wall, rather than keeping to individual windows. The blush pink drapes soften the room, contrasting the raw concrete used in the bathroom.
Using wall-to-wall curtains can also work to trick the eye into believing that the bedroom is a long, voluminous space. As you cannot see the windows or walls behind the curtain, you are coaxed into believing that there is more than you can see.
This trick works particularly well in small bedrooms, like the guest bedroom. Choose light-toned cotton drapes to keep the interior feeling airy and relaxed.
8. Introduce a colour pop in your bedroom curtains
(Image credit: timediacontent.com)
In a largely neutral room, curtains can add a generous pop of color that defines your palette.
It's a great way to bring an extra level to something like a beige or grey bedroom idea, and can be handled in a few different ways
You might want to create a color palette across your soft furnishings, mirroring the headboard, cushions, rugs and more in some of your color choices, or let the curtains do the heavy lifting by themselves.
In this scheme, vibrant green patterned curtains create a focal point for this neutral, modern bedroom, an example of where your curtain ideas can really make a space.
9. Add a decorative trim to your bedroom curtain

Curtains are a great way to bring new, interesting bedroom trends into your space without completely re-designing it. Ideas like fabric trims, which have become much more of a trend again in recent years, and can also easily be applied.
Don't forget, curtains take up such a large area of your room's vertical space that they can be really influential in the overall look of your bedroom.
Making choices with trims should play into the overall scheme.
10. Don't be afraid of bold bedroom curtains
(Image credit: www.ti-mediacontent.com)
When it comes to patterned curtains, the print makes all the difference. An Aztec-inspired print adds to the eclectic look in the bedroom. The wall art, the bedspread, and the printed cushions, all contribute to this boho bedroom idea.
To boost the look of your drapes, you could also consider adding a lining that adds a subtle touch of texture or deep color. Ideally, choose a hue that can be seen across the space to give the overall look some grounding.
11. Decorate your bedroom with pleated curtains
(Image credit: www.ti-mediacontent.com)
Pinch pleat curtains are an elegant, classic, and timeless choice. Often used with simple fabrics, they look smart without distracting from the rest of the room.
Pinch pleated curtains essentially gather the pencil pleats into groups of two or more for a more decorative heading.
This works with most types of fabric, but bear in mind that the more pleats, the more fabric is needed and so there will be an increase in the cost of the finished curtains.
Pencil or pinch pleats are the most traditional curtain heading and will work with all types of tracks and poles. They're the perfect choice for a classically pretty bedroom scheme that flirts with more traditional style elements.
12. Make way for XL-size bedroom curtain ideas
(Image credit: www.timeincukcontent.com)
Doesn't this room remind you of high-end stores with the plushest changing rooms? Long, cascading curtains can change the soul of a room, and take a small modern bedroom from drab to fab.
For added volume, drama, and grandeur, you could consider using extra long fabric that bunches up at the bottom. It's a hard look to get right, but when the fabric bunches up in just the right way, the effect is quite beautiful.
13. Hang bedroom curtains above the window
(Image credit: Paul Massey)
Give height and drama by hanging the curtains higher than the window.
This will create an illusion of a larger space, making it a great small bedroom idea. It also gives an estate-kind of feeling to the room, like the grand, big rooms of old palaces and resorts.
Remember, when measuring the window, make sure to take the full length from the ceiling to the floor so the curtain drops with no gaps.
14. Try tie-back curtains for a whimsical look
(Image credit: michaelmundy.com)
In rustic bedrooms, tie-back curtains can add a touch of softness. Tie-back curtains can be used to give volume, but here they were used with more delicate fabric to create a light and ethereal look.
For a stiff tie-back look, you could consider woven leather, beaded, or even tasseled fabrics. For the tie-backs, choose something modern like a leather tie or rope ties with wooden hearts.
If you have sheer curtains layered with heavier curtains, you could consider a sheer layer tied to the outer layer as a tieback. You could even use the fabric to create a flower shape for a tieback.
Simple, DIY silver rope or knotted rope tiebacks are casual, yet classy.
If you want something more creative, then try ribbons. From a burlap and lace ribbon or even beaded upholstery ribbon, there are many unique ways to tiebacks.
15. Choose valance for your bedroom windows
(Image credit: Paul Raeside)
While some may believe valances are an acquired taste, if done right, they can fit very well into bedrooms that have a certain grandeur to them. In this space, it's not only the 'grandma-chic' wallpaper, curtain fabric, and furnishings that give the room a vintage feel, but the shape of the valance too – complete with ruched texture and beaded trim.
Valances frame the top of the windows and give the entire space a decorative touch. They also bring in a touch of fabric but do not sacrifice natural light.
'One of my favorite tricks to make a statement, add a bit of personality, and soften a space is to design a decorative valance,' says Jennifer Morris, interior designer, JMorris Design .
'A full fabric shade can impede opening windows, whereas a 12-16” valance creates a touch of texture and pattern that is manageable.'
In this design, belonging to style maker Pearl Lowe, the heavy velvet valance plays into the eclecticism of the furniture and bedroom wall decor ideas.
16. Don't limit curtains only to windows
(Image credit: Utkan Gunerkan)
A cozy, romantic bedroom for couples can be created just with the magic of curtains. But no, these don't always need to be hung by the windows. A bed canopy can make the space look glamorous and one you never want to leave.
Ensure your bed curtain fabric is made-to-measure and fits right above and across from your bed. To give it a more whimsical feel, consider adding string lights to the canopy, to give it a 'sleeping under the night sky' feel.
If this seems a little complicated to execute, then hang curtain rods above your bed and create a makeshift canopy. Plump up the space with a few floral or lace pillows for a wonderful cottage look.
What type of curtain is best for bedrooms?
For the uninitiated, curtains play a big role in our circadian rhythm or the internal clock that makes us go to bed or wake up. As curtains control the intensity of light coming into the room, these play a big role in ensuring whether we get good sleep or not.
As a rule of thumb, drapes should be mounted four to six inches above the window frame. While ideally curtains are sold in 108 inches, 96 inches, and 84 inches, it's always best to get custom-sized ones as they will fit perfectly on your windows and not cause any light leakage. Blackout privacy curtains are typically preferred in bedrooms, but it's a good idea to pair them with sheers or cottosn to not make the room look too caved in.
It's best to opt for machine-washable fabrics for convenience. However, if you want a luxury vibe, consider a heavier, more sumptuous fabric like silk or taffeta. Silk looks rich and has a forever sheen but is prone to stains and UV damage.
Velvet is heavy and excellent for insulating. It's also ideal for late sleepers but the material accumulates dust easily and can be difficult to maintain. Polyester is budget-friendly and easy to maintain. The only two drawbacks are it is flammable and it absorbs odors.
Another factor to consider is the colors. In most cases, cool tones work well, especially when the sunlight passes through them. As for patterned curtains, these can make a big statement in the room so perhaps think of them as wall art. Think of the kind of drama you'd like to create in your room and choose curtains as per that.
If you prefer heavier drapes, a thick curtain rod is required so it can hold the weight of any fabric. Remember, the fixtures should blend in with the curtains. Usually, silk or satin drapes pair well with wrought iron or wood. Linens and cotton work with metal finishes.

When it comes to bedroom decor ideas, a few things take center stage. Namely, the bed, nightstands, dressers, and mirrors. Undoubtedly all of these pieces of furniture play a pivotal role in the completion of your bedroom, but there’s one very simple thing you might be missing: curtains, of course!

Since we believe everyone should feel the satisfaction of a picture-perfect bedroom, we went ahead and dug through the web for the best bedroom curtain ideas. From white canvas, cream sheers, and bold pops of color to pom-pom edges, floor-length neutrals, and patterned panels, ahead, you’ll find more than a dozen options to consider when dressing your windows.

Art Deco practically does not exist separately from the interior and is used to give an accent, zest to the room. The art deco style has many faces, so do not be upset if you did not find suitable photos of curtains for the bedroom in the first directory you are viewing. It is necessary to search more, this style does not limit the texture and pattern of the fabric. You can even see a geometric ornament or an ethnic motif. Art Deco consists of heavy, thick curtains, made mainly of velvet, satin or silk, which are decorated with drapery or gold tassels. The bedroom often uses a black and white or dark color scheme, decorated with expensive decor.
Provence style is back in fashion
Looking at the photos of modern bedroom curtains, it's hard not to stop at this gentle, pastel-colored style.
Curtains, as a rule, are double with a flowing almost airy tulle. Curtains made in this style will plunge you into the southern French province, give you peace and emphasize the beauty of a city apartment. Curtains are selected in a darker color with a dense structure. Why is Provence good?
- simplicity and elegance at the same time
- only natural materials
- floral prints or patterns
- airiness and lightness
Choosing the Provence style in your decor, you find yourself in a little France.
Classic is always in fashion
Modern trends dictate new fashion, but classic style cannot be forced out. Curtains will look good in a large bedroom with a panoramic window. The velvety frame will shimmer in the light and emphasize the elegant design. In the classics you will not find catchy patterns and ornaments. The design of the curtains in the bedroom will be monophonic, made in soft beige or brown tones.
Classics are, first of all, traditions of pristine beauty and comfort. The future is high-tech.
Practicality is the main thing in modern style. Here you will not find excessive beauty - the technology of the future. Basically, the models are made of metallized coating or glass. May have glossy asymmetric additions. A hi-tech bedroom looks a bit fantastic. Roman blinds in neutral colors are recommended for this style.
Minimalist
Refusal of excesses is the motto of this style.
Spacious room done in soft colors with simple form and lines.
Curtains should be light and unobtrusive. In the style of minimalism, you will not see any curtains or curtains, and the curtains for the bedroom are made in the form of rolled panels or blinds. But in a modern adaptation, this style does not exclude the tandem of roller blinds with a plain curtain. In this concept, it should not attract attention and become an accent, so we also adhere to neutral tones.
Curtains in the bedroom, made in the style of minimalism, do not carry an additional idea, but captivate with their practicality in use.
Trend of the season
When choosing a color scheme, one cannot say anything about the novelties of curtains for the bedroom this season. Purple is everywhere in 2016: on hair, lips, clothes and, of course, curtains. It attracts not only with its versatility, but also with its unusualness. A variety of gamma gives an opportunity for fantasies, transforming any interior.
Looking at the photos of modern curtains for the bedroom, you will find shades of purple from juicy and dark to soft and flowing shades.
Soft colors from violet to lavender are perfect for the bedroom. You should not decorate the bedroom with bright purple curtains - they will not let you relax, they can cause anxiety and anxiety.
The latest curtain trends for this year's bedroom do not want to lose ground in the new one, and are confidently maintaining and securing their place in the top list.
After looking at fashionable photos of curtains for the bedroom in 2022, it is safe to say that high-tech style and minimalism still hold the leading position. Designers predict the development and preservation of these styles, as well as their combination with rather unusual variations, so the fashionable design of windows in the new year will not only be rich, but also extravagant.

Curtains for the bedroom - 80 photo ideas, types of curtains, how to choose
Feel safe and private - perhaps one of the main wishes of every owner of an apartment or house, especially when it comes to personal space.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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. 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 in 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The color palette should ideally match the overall design, standing out due to the delicate texture and graceful folds.
Minimalist 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. Additional criteria for choosing 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.
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. 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. Curtains in this case should not prevent the penetration of natural light, but responsibly fulfill the mission of a partition between the inner and outer worlds.
Choose light colors, even if your design includes two levels of curtains. Ideally, if the color scheme is close to the wall decoration, as bright details can enhance the feeling of the boundaries of the space.
In particularly severe cases, it is better to do with plain textiles. At the same time, Roman, roller and other types of curtains that do not create a large number of folds will look good in a small bedroom.
