55 Curtain Designs to Inspire Your Next Home Makeover
1
Tiny Checks
Douglas Friedman
In the media room of his New York City home, TV personality Thom Filicia dressed his windows in floor-length curtains patterned in the tiniest of gray-and-white checks, a move that—pro tip—not only gives the illusion of more generous windows, but also adds subtle texture to the largely neutral scheme.
2
Prettily Patterned Roman Shades
Pascal Chevallier
Leave it to a Dior executive to have shades that look like haute couture! In the breakfast room of her Paris flat, Mathilde Favier selected a floral fabric by the late, great French decorator Madeleine Castaing to inject feminine flair to a classic Roman shade.
3
Gauzy Neutrals
Read McKendree
The views from this Pebble Beach, California, house are too good to be tampered with. So design firm Workshop/APD ensured that the curtains wouldn’t interfere. Follow suit by selecting a long, semi-sheer neutral for a laid-back vibe.
4
Textured Roman Shades
Stephen Kent Johnson
For a rustic, layered look, opt for thick, textured fabrics, as designer Ryan Lawson did in this Connecticut Colonial. The natural fibers pair perfectly with the homeowners’ bohemian artworks and accessories.
5
Geometric and Floor-Grazing
Mike Van Tassell
Designer Gail Davis used subtly patterned, floor-length curtains to create the illusion of height in this New Jersey home office. The diminutive green print, meanwhile, works to draw the eye outside.
6
A Touch of the Tropics
Douglas Friedman
No one uses pattern quite like Martyn Lawrence Bullard.
Here in this dreamy Maui home, he worked to bring the lush tropical colors inside in both the window treatments and in the bed curtains, which are in a JAB Anstoetz fabric.
7
Pistachio-Hued
Pierrick Verny
The unapologetically maximalist home of French lighting designer Marie-Lise Féry features plenty of unexpected color combos. We especially love how she used curtains in pistachio (a textile by Métaphores) and dusty pink (a Kvadrat fabric) hues to pick up the colors in the rest of the room.
8
Boho Border
Amy Neunsinger
If all-over pattern isn’t quite your thing, take a cue from design duo Nickey Kehoe and opt for sweeping curtains with an ornate border, as seen here in star chef Suzanne Goin’s Los Angeles home. Pattern recognition alert: The curtains nod to the checked edging on the lampshade.
9
Rust-Colored Velvet
Yves Drieghe
Antiques dealer and designer Jean-Philippe Demeyer called a medieval hunting lodge home. So it’s no surprise that the windows also featured details fit for an aristocrat, like these sumptuous rust-colored draperies. But if you choose to go heavy, make sure you lighten the mood with bright furnishings.
10
All-Over Pattern
Haris Kenjar
Can clashing patterns on your furniture and windows actually work? Yes, according to Heidi Caillier, who selected an abundance of bold prints in this Fox Island home outside Seattle. The trick is balancing scales and patterns, as with the large floral Scalamandré print on the sofa and the smaller, geometric Katie Lee fabric on the window treatments.
11
Peachy-Keen Sheers
Thomas Loof
Another fun idea: Choose curtains that are a tint or two lighter than your walls, as Summer Thornton did in this Chicago home.
Note that the cashmere curtains’ lower trim picks up the exact color of the de Gournay damask wallcovering.
12
Stripes Galore
Douglas Friedman
This 1920s Palm Beach villa has a flamboyant history (it used to belong to a duped countess) and flamboyant interiors to match, ever since interior designer Mark D. Sikes overhauled it. Also matching? The furnishings, walls, and window treatments, all in a Fermoie stripe. Do it if you dare!
13
Flipped Prints
Isabel Parra
For a home in the Hamptons, up-and-coming designer Remy Renzullo looked to the decorating greats of the 20th century (think Billy Baldwin and Sister Parish) and his own childhood home. Here, in a bedroom, he played with a French Provençal fabric, upholstering the bed and curtains in a dark blue pattern and covering the walls in its reverse.
14
Farmhouse Sweet
Mikkel Vang
Not all curtains need to be dramatic or floor-grazing. Here in the guest bedroom of a New York farmhouse, designer Virginia Tupker hung mid-length drapes. Their length creates a perfect sight line across the room, and their pattern—a Les Indiennes cotton—introduces just the right amount of country-chic sweet.
15
Lush Botanical Print
Ricardo Labougle
There are patterns aplenty in this Paris apartment designed by Lorenzo Castillo. To keep things classy, not clashy, the designer selected prints in the same teal, red, and cream colors, as with the GP & J Baker linen curtains. Follow suit to pull off a similarly elegant look.
16
Buttery Yellow
Jennifer Hughes
At first blush, Darryl Carter’s 1913 Washington, D.
C., townhouse appears to be largely neutral. But the designer relied on subtle, citrus-hued textiles to bring in a ray of warmth, as he did with the floor-length butter-yellow curtains.
17
Opulent Florals
Mikkel Vang
Designer Nathan Turner liberally applied Nicholas Herbert’s floral Coromandel cotton to the walls and windows of this New York pied-à-terre to bring lightness to the room’s heavy, dark wood furnishings. After all, you can never have too much of a good thing.
18
Midas-Touched
Stephen Kent Johnson
You might think that floor-length curtains work best in a bedroom or a formal sitting room, but New York designer Tatyana Miron Ahlers shows that they can work in a kitchen too. Here, in her Manhattan apartment, she hung up golden draperies to complement cinnamon-colored banquettes and the multicolored flecks in the terrazzo flooring.
19
Regal Roman
Paul Costello
In her New Orleans home, the late author and hostess-with-the-mostest Julia Reed worked with designers Bill Brockschmidt and Courtney Coleman to create a space that nodded to tradition, but that was filled with her own flourishes. To give the living room that classic, timeless feel, she selected shades in a sunny Pierre Frey stripe.
20
Variegated Valence
Miguel Flores-Vianna
Ava Gardner once lived in this Madrid apartment, and designer Isabel López-Quesada ensured that the place kept the “earthiness” that once attracted the Hollywood starlet to the Spanish city—but with a hearty dose of glamour. Here in the bedroom, López-Quesada worked with a white base, but added panache with a matching curtain and valance in a Brunschwig & Fils fabric.
21
Organic Materials
Richard Foulser
Interior designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent used rolled seagrass rugs as shades for the windows of their Montauk retreat, which is filled with design details influenced by their trips to Portugal, Mexico, and Peru.
22
Pattern on Pattern
Michael Mundy
Yes, you can mix and match patterns when decorating a room. This living room in a Beverly Hills home designed by Michael S. Smith is a gorgeous example of deploying floral and nature-filled prints on both furniture and the walls, topped off by the patterned curtains in a Namay Samay fabric.
23
Sandy Hues
Ricardo Labougle
In a beach house on the coast of Uruguay, the earthy wall color was inspired by a bottle of sand from Petra, Jordan, and is complemented perfectly by the off-white curtains.
24
An Extension of the Walls
Julie Soefer
Interior designer Marie Flanigan chose to hang these curtains in a Houston family’s home as if they were coming out of the ceiling—all the better to frame the windows rather than block them.
25
Horizontal Stripes
Douglas Friedman
These ceiling-height curtains with horizontal stripes add a shot of flair in the otherwise all-white living room of an art collector’s Palm Beach home.
26
Earth Tones
Stephan Julliard
The pops of color of the sofa and pillows are the main focus of this living room in a London flat by designer Nebihe Cihan—everything else, including the curtains, acts as a neutral backdrop.
27
Blinds and Curtains
Eric Piasecki
In a Fifth Avenue triplex in Manhattan, the living room is wrapped by windows, so blinds were a necessity. Designer Katie Ridder also added curtains of a Pierre Frey fabric for a more unique and decorative touch.
28
Sheer White
Marili Forastieri
In the living room of a Long Island, New York, beach house designed by Rodney Lawrence, the eye is drawn directly to the ceiling, which was inspired by the mural in Grand Central Terminal.
White curtains were the way to go here, so as not to take away from the mural.
29
Block of Red
Reid Rolls
Floor-to-ceiling curtains complement the red accents placed throughout the composition of this Cincinnati living room. They also pair perfectly with the adjacent Mondrian-inspired Porter Teleo wallcovering.
30
Creamy Neutral Canvas
William Waldron
ED A-Lister Nicole Fuller used a cream Dedar fabric for window treatments to create a monochromatic canvas so bright, accent pieces can pop in this Greenwich Village townhouse. The striped curtains also add subtle and sophisticated texture.
31
A Floor-Length Roman Shade
Lisa Romerein
A sheer striped window treatment is used to add privacy and create a tailored look in this Bel Air, California, office.
While the shade is structured, the lightweight fabric feels relaxed as it filters the sun without completely blocking it.
32
Blue Trim
Simon Upton
Blue trim detail on the curtains adds structure to this abstract art–filled living room. The striped border also creates a decorative frame for the windows.
33
Deep Blue
Andrew Boyd
Just because you have a statement wall doesn’t mean you can’t have vibrant curtains as well. In this blue living room, the almost matching curtains complement the already bold space, adding a textural element for depth.
34
Fruit-Inspired
Alec Hemer
These bright curtains channel our favorite summer fruits, adding to the quirky and vibrant decor of the space.
The curtains are made from a thicker fabric, which is ideal if you’re looking to darken the space or cool it down.
35
Almost Matching
William Abranowicz
In actress Minnie Driver’s Hollywood home, the living room has a generous dose of vintage fabrics and patterns. The curtains and the shades come in complementary colors and patterns, which add a dynamic twist without overwhelming the already pattern-filled room. While the shades are heavy and designed to block sunlight, the curtains remain sheer and airy.
36
Soft Palette
Sasha Bikoff Interior Design
When decorating a home, designer Sasha Bikoff looks to nature to create softer palettes. “If you revert back to nature and see how all those colors work together organically, you can easily apply them to a space as well,” she notes.
This Impressionist-style living room is light and whimsical, just like a garden.
37
Stormy Shades
Giorgio Possenti
This moody Russian living room uses minimal color and maximum pattern to achieve a dark, modern vibe. The curtains are made with rich, silky fabrics, with a pattern that accents the small touches of ornate decor.
38
Luminous Golden Curtains
Pascal Chevallier
In the library of a Parisian home, the sofa is upholstered in a cotton damask, the armchair is covered in a silk velvet, and the slipper chair is based on a Mongiardino design; the desk is Louis XV, the chandelier is Louis XIV, and the 19th-century rug is Persian.
39
Blue-and-Cream Patterns
James Merrell
In a Long Island, New York, home, the family room’s custom furnishings include a sofa upholstered in a Lee Jofa fabric, a tufted sofa in a Chapas Textiles weave, a leather ottoman, and a pair of armchairs covered in a Kravet linen blend; the 1950s cerused-oak side table and 19th-century copper lantern are French, the curtains are of a Home Couture fabric, and the wallpaper is by Phillip Jeffries.
40
Accent Stripes
James Merrell
In an Ibiza, Spain, home, limestone floors covered in custom Spanish esparto rugs from Antonia Molina, walls in a sandy lime plaster, and a wood-beam ceiling set a rustic tone in the living room. Custom sofa by Atelier Tapissier Seigneur and curtains in a quilted Braquenié fabric; the Oeil cocktail table by Pierre Chapo is vintage, and the painting over the mantel is by Alex Katz.
41
Blue Standout
John M. Hall
The dining room walls in designer Garance Aufaure’s Paris home are sheathed in a linen toile and hung with a collection of Moustiers ceramics. The custom curtains are of a blue linen.
42
Matching with the Furniture
James Merrell
In the living room of a weekend home in Bridgehampton, New York, designed by Steven Gambrel, the custom sofa is upholstered in a Mark Alexander fabric, and the same Arabel Fabrics linen is used for both the curtains and the armchair.
43
Silky Look
Ricardo Labougle
Custom designs fill this vibrant London townhouse, including a sofa covered in a Donghia patterned velvet, another upholstered in a Le Manach silk velvet, and a round banquette, which is topped with a 1940s French bronze sculpture. The curtains are of a Jim Thompson silk, and the walls are painted in Farrow & Ball’s Cornforth White.
44
Curtain Room Divider
William Abranowicz
In an industrialist San Francisco loft, a curtain is used to divide the living area, offering privacy and a simple design transition between the rooms. The bookcase is a custom design, the sculpture on the floor is Odalisque I by Manuel Neri, and the floors are polished concrete.
45
Monochromatic
Simon Upton

In a historic English estate with modern accents, jovial red curtains of a Bennison fabric brighten the living room. The walls are painted in Tablecloth by Paint & Paper Library, and the artwork above the mantel is by Fred Ingrams.
47
Airy Curtains
Richard Powers
The breathy, translucent beige curtains in this Palm Beach apartment echo the lucid nature of a nearby glass chair by Jacques Adnet and René Coulon. The 1970s Italian cocktail table is by Gae Aulenti, and the concrete wall plaques are by Radu Comsa.
48
Tan and English
Ricardo Labougle
In the living room of a London townhouse, neutral curtains add a bout of English elegance to the space, which is furnished with a vintage sofa by Ico Parisi and Otto Schultz chairs covered in a Clarence House fabric.
The light fixture is by Vilhelm Lauritzen.
49
Quadrille
Eric Piasecki
In this Manhattan townhouse, curtains of a Quadrille fabric with just a touch of blue play off the bold turquoise walls, painted in C2 Paint Luxe in Bewilder. The sofa and club chair, both by Anthony Lawrence-Belfair, are covered in Holland & Sherry wools.
50
Linen with a Pattern
Miguel Flores-Vianna
In designer Penny Morrison’s Welsh country home, the living room curtains are of a linen print by Penny Morrison Fabrics. The fuchsia tones echo the pink hues throughout the space without distracting from the rich green walls.

Long for years, curtains and blinds remained the only appropriate decor for windows. But times have changed - today even interiors with bare windows do not surprise anyone. However, such a cardinal option is not the only way to do without curtains - we are talking about more original and practical modern solutions.
