Watercolor Effect

Teal and Gold Linen

Read McKendree

Linen fabric with teal and gold accents makes an exception option for curtains in a colorful beach home.

8

Ombré

Brittany Ambridge

Ombré curtains allow for a very smooth transition from one color to the next, which can give your living room the pop of color it needs without being too in your face. The curtains in this Los Angeles home designed by Peti Lau nearly mimic a rushing waterfall.

Soft Blue

HEATHER HILLIARD

17 tips for stylish drapery |

(Image credit: James Hare / Vanessa Arbuthnott / Jan Baldwin)

If you’re looking for living room curtain ideas that thrill from top to toe, we’ve got it all wrapped up. 

Curtain choices can make or break your living room ideas. Not only do they take up a large surface area, but they are responsible for regulating the all important natural light flow in the room. 

With seemingly endless options available for not just fabric and pattern, but headings and linings too, it can feel like a substantial task.

For drapery dreamers who aren’t sure where to start, we’ve asked the experts to unravel their favorite living room curtain ideas and have found some stunning examples of living spaces that have got it just right. 

1. Merge into the walls with soft neutrals 

(Image credit: Amanda Evans Interiors)

‘Curtains are an investment, so opting for a neutral palette will give your chosen design a longer life,’ says John Smigielski, marketing director at Linwood . ‘For a look that’s stylish and quietly confident, choose an almost identical colour for both walls and curtains. The drapes will merge into the overall room, creating a feeling of being hardly there but also adding a gentle softness.’ 

A neutral combination such as this can be seen in this living room by interior designer Amanda Evans . Neutral curtains are a great choice for small living room ideas too, as they will keep the room feeling light, bright and as big as possible.

2. Create a contrast to the wall color

Spent ages nailing down your perfect living room paint ideas? Well, when it comes to choosing the curtains, feel free to throw out the swatches and start again from scratch. If you’ve gone for colored walls, consider heading to the other side of the color wheel for drape inspiration and choose a contrasting shade to enliven your scheme. 

In this room by interior designer Kit Kemp, powder blue grasscloth walls are contrasted with patterned, pale pink curtains. To keep the room from feeling too sugary sweet, the duo are paired with crisp whites and modern graphic prints. 

3. Get your fabric right

(Image credit: Emma Lee)

When thinking about how to design a living room, carefully choosing your textiles should be a priority – and getting the material right for your curtain style is crucial to the end result. 

‘The right fabric is an essential part of choosing your curtains,’ says Harry Cole, Founder of Loom & Last . ‘Whether you opt for plain or pattern, light or heavyweight, the fabric dictates the overall finish so it’s important to know what style you’re looking for.’ 

In this room, a beachy feel is conjured through candy-striped drapes in a light fabric. ‘For a softer and more relaxed look, opt for sheer, lightweight fabrics in cream or off-white tones. Those on the hunt for ‘formal’ traditional curtains or living room drapes should look for sturdier fabrics such as velvet.' 

4. Go big with patterns

(Image credit: Linwood)

If you’ve been blessed with a larger living space, don’t be afraid to go big with your curtain’s print.  

‘The scale of your chosen pattern influences everything, from the room’s focal point to its sense of proportion,’ says Smigielski. ‘A large-scale design such as Louis from Linwood’s Belleville collection will transform any window into a showstopper.’ 

The floral design, pictured above, is teamed here with a bright yellow wall, but can make even more of a statement in a pale colored room. ‘The look is ideal for large windows where the repeat can be appreciated in all its glory,’ adds Smigielski.  

5. Pair your heading with your overall style

(Image credit: Adrian Briscoe)

It’s not just the curtain itself you need to think about, but how to hang it too. There are myriad heading styles to choose from, so think about which one suits your room best.

‘This mostly comes down to personal taste and preference but there are options to consider,’ says Cole. ‘Modern in appearance, eyelet or wave headers are best for contemporary living spaces, they also fold back effortlessly making them ideal for smaller spaces with compact windows. For traditional schemes or period properties, pencil pleat and double pleat headings will complement your windows and hang nicely with a neat finish.’

  6. Tie in colors from around the room

(Image credit: Emma Lee)

Thanks to their size, curtains have a big part to play in living room color schemes.

‘Curtains act as an anchor to the overall scheme and can elevate the look and finish of a space,’ say Jenna Choate and Mariana Ugarte, Co-Founders at Interior Fox . ‘When selecting a fabric, make sure to consider how it looks when the curtains are open as well as closed. We like to choose a fabric that is within the same colour group as the walls, this makes the room feel much brighter and open.’ 

If you want to step away from your wall color, but still keep your curtains in keeping with the rest of the room, tie it in with a color accent that repeats throughout the space. Here, dark blue is used repeatedly in the soft furnishings for a consistent scheme, a stylish look for modern curtain ideas.

7. Pick a pelmet 

(Image credit: Jon Day)

If you thought pelmets had been consigned to the history books. Trends like cottagecore have seen the heading style – made with stiffened fabric that covers the top of the curtain – return in a big way. 

‘Pelmets are often thought to be old fashioned and fussy, however in the right setting and with the right fabrics they can finish off a pair of curtains perfectly,’ says Kit Kemp . ‘By using the space above the window encasement, this invites the eye to journey up, elongating the height of the room further.’

‘If you are going to use pelmets, make sure you have very tall windows and an abundance of natural light so as not to darken the room.’ 

8. Double up with a sheer layer

(Image credit: Brent Darby)

Twitching the net curtains has never been so cool – that is to say, that using a sheer curtain under your main drapes is a living room trend once again. 

‘Sheer curtains are back, but not just as stand alone,’ says Choate and Ugarte. ‘As interior designers, we are increasingly using a layered technique in our client’s homes. Sheer fabrics work well underneath a much thicker curtain, adding texture and interest into the space. We find this style of window dressing works best in cosier spaces such as the living room or bedroom.’ 

9. Use banded drapes to play with proportions 

(Image credit: Jake Curtis)

Curtains can also become an optical illusion. Think about using bands or color blocks not just to create interest, but to alter the sense of proportional space in the living room. Using a lighter color at the top and a darker one below will make the room feel taller, while a darker top can help balance a bottom-heavy space. 

If you have lots of visual interest courtesy of your living room furniture ideas in the lower half of the room, try balancing that out with a colored top. In this living room, a white curtain with a yellow upper section brings the sunshine-like accents elsewhere in the room to above eye level.  

10. Create a cozy corner with an internal curtain

(Image credit: Adrian Briscoe)

Curtains aren’t just for windows. Like a screen or window wall, curtains can be used to section off parts of a large living room or even in place of a door to close the whole space to the outside world. 

This works really well with broken plan living room ideas, where you may want to create a bit of privacy for a living room area that is connected to a kitchen. It’s also a great way to combat any drafts that run through a large home in the winter months. 

11. Add elegance with ombré

(Image credit: Curtains in Horizon Mushroom fabric by James Hare)

Neutral living rooms can run the risk of feeling soulless, but adding plenty of texture through fabrics and furnishings is an effective way of bringing them to life.

Featuring a soft ombré effect, these full-length drapes in James Hare's Horizon fabric, make a beautiful focal point in this Georgian living room, and bring elegance with their luxurious texture and subtle variations in tone.

'Horizon is an ombré panel combining the luxurious fibres of silk and wool, which give it an incredible drape and handle,' says Saffron Hare, creative director of James Hare . 'The subtle graduation of colour through the panel makes a stunning statement as curtains especially in rooms with high ceilings.'  

12. Choose neutral curtains in colorful rooms

'I always opt for neutral curtains if there's a lot of color and pattern in the room already,' explains Emma Deterding, founder and creative director of Kelling Designs . 'Not only does this help to balance the scheme, but if you have spectacular views out the window, then this will allow them to flow into the room making the room feel a lot larger.'

By choosing plain drapes in this colorful living room, Emma Deterding has allowed the spotlight to remain on the vibrant sofa and accessories, while the addition of a subtle curtain trim gently echoes the pattern throughout the room.

13. Liven things up with geometrics

Simple geometric prints in botanical greens are a great way to bring an uplifting, playful feel to a white living room, as demonstrated in this scheme. 

Made in Schumacher's Full Circle fabric in Jungle, these curtains bring a pop of pattern and color whilst maintaining a bright and airy feel.

Simple and timeless, the print pairs well with lots of other patterns, such as the Albaicin Palm fabric by Rapture & Wright on the chair, plus it co-ordinates beautifully with the shapely Julian Chichester lamp and Porta Romana side table. 

14. Bring wow factor with a colorful patchwork

For those confident with color, choosing a bold fabric can make a real statement as a drape.

A riot of color reminiscent of Joseph's technicolor dream coat, Pierre Frey's Festival multicolore fabric perfectly brings together all the vibrant tones in this artistic scheme while the patchwork feel helps soften the bold shapes throughout the room.  

15. Bring calm with sheer curtains

Curtains can have a big impact on the look and feel of your space. If creating a calm atmosphere is your priority you can't go wrong with timeless, floaty fabrics says Hayley McAfee, design director at Villa Nova . 

'Sheers and lightweight fabrics made from natural fibres would be the best option for a relaxed, soft and floaty look,' she says. 'These types of fabrics are naturally floaty and drape exceptionally well. Linen is also a great choice - its natural texture adds a wonderful softness to a space.'

17. Soften a room with delicate drapes

With their gentle pleats, curtains in light fabrics are a brilliant way to add instant softness to a room, which is useful in spaces which have strong lines and tonal contrasts. 

'Beyond its obvious functional qualities of room darkening and privacy, drapery is a useful design tool to soften a space and give it more height,' says Corine Maggio, interior designer and founder of CM Natural Designs .  

'In this room the drapery also offers a softening of the otherwise high contrast elements in the space and ties in the light ocean blue of the rug.' While the fabric appears a delicate blue shade, 'up close you'd see that it's actually a thin stripe which offers a necessary subtle texture since the other large elements, the sofa and chair, are solid,' adds Corine Maggio. 

17. Temper dark walls with patterned curtains

While dark living rooms can feel wonderfully cosy, they can sometimes feel overpowering. Adding curtains in a floral fabric will instantly make dark walls feel less austere, we will opting for a pale wood flooring and light living room furniture.

If you're looking for cottage curtains then florals are an obvious choice, says fabric designer Vanessa Arbuthnott but be sure to think about scale. 'Scale is important, don't choose anything too big – instead try fabrics with smaller prints such as my Cow Parsley and Dainty Daisy, spots such as Pretty Maids and May Blossom would also look perfect. '

Featuring a graphic, botanical design, this Flora & Fauna fabric from Vane ssa Arbuthnott softens this cottage living room and brings natural charm without feeling overly chintzy. 

What type of curtain is best for a living room? 

When choosing fabric for a living room curtain, it’s really down to what overarching style you want to create in the space. For more traditional rooms, make a traditional choice: heavy velvet will channel a luxurious feel in large, high-ceilinged living rooms, but for a more contemporary feel, choose lightweight alternatives. 

‘For a timeless window dressing solution that feels stylish and considered, we’d recommend opting for a lightweight, natural material such as a cotton/linen blend,’ say Choate and Ugarte. We find this gives a relaxed and versatile look to the room that will stand the test of time. It is best to steer away from man-made fabrics such as polyester as these can often have a sheen that feels low quality.’

What is new in living room curtains? 

With curtains, it’s not so much a case of what’s new, but more of what’s coming back. Sheer curtains are no longer made of chintzy netting, but are now part of a bright and breezy layering aesthetic. Think a double layer of curtains, with a sheer layer closer to the window, chosen in pale neutrals and complemented with decor filled with natural materials. Use tie tops for some extra contemporary clout and a rustic feel. 

More traditional headings are making a comeback too. Pair a pelmet top with contemporary patterns and bright colors to freshen up this throwback structure – just remember to allow for as much light to get into the room as possible.

The best zoning options with curtains - INMYROOM

Room zoning curtains are a great way to distribute space in a small room. With the help of curtains, you can achieve a proportional placement of rooms in the house, especially if the apartment has a small area.

This technique is used owners, so as not to resort to expensive repairs. And not always ready the result may suit the owners when, for example, zoning with curtains can be easily removed, or changed to a more convenient location tenants. Zoning was used by the ancient Greeks. Cloths of fabric not only divided the space into separate rooms, but also decorated them, it bestowed cosiness. Zoning is suitable for both small apartments and large ones. nine0003

Here are some options room zoning:

Advantage

Main advantage is accessibility. In relation to other options, this one is the most economical and affordable. Instead of building a new wall or buying expensive rack, it's easier to buy a curtain. nine0003

Usually this method used in one-room apartments, where it is important to separate the bed and reception room or, as it is also called, the living room. This is important here how these rooms are actively used. You can separate your workplace from bedrooms. Curtains can be used instead of doors. Having installed the cornice, you can to fasten fabric sheets, and then use them as you like, for example, use as doors.

Another plus is the amount of space the canvases take up. They can be removed to the side. and tie up or just lower it, but at the same time they will take up much space smaller than a wall or a door. nine0003

Zoning allows visually increase the dimensions of the room or even the apartment itself. From the choice will depend on the interior of the room, the curtains will set the tone. Therefore, if the owner gets bored with one style, he can easily replace it with another, just by changing the material from which the fabric webs are made.

Original technique are double variations. One curtain is for the bedroom and the other is for living room. For the bedroom, you can choose darker colors, and in the living room use light colors. Such a contrast is not will only surprise guests, but also please the owners of the apartment. nine0003

Although zoning is a rather old method, it is gaining popularity right now. This is probably due to the stereotype that curtains should hang on the windows. But before hanging them, it is recommended to create a visual layout of how they will be to place the canvas. This will save a lot of costs and save time when all of this will be installed.

Also a plus functionality: curtains can be used only when they are needed. For example, during the arrival of guests, and in your free time keep them open. nine0003

Design zoning solutions

There is no specific material. Each owner selects options for his house and for his taste. It can be either a regular tulle or a Japanese variation. Tulle, thanks its simplicity, gives lightness and a festive look to the room. A textile option, thanks to the floral pattern, is perfect for modern style, which is very popular right now.

Japanese fabrics Made in white tones and perfectly transmit light through them. It should be noted that they go well with many materials, such as wood. Back to the advantages of the Japanese curtains can be attributed to minimalism, with their simplicity they perform maximum functions. nine0003

There will also be a canopy nice to decorate the room. Due to its appearance, it creates in the room medieval atmosphere. There are several types of canopies that are selected to the taste of the owner and the decor of the room. For example, a canopy can be simple and airy or more complex with various decorations in the form of tassels or fringes.

Sheets made from bamboo, perfectly fit into the interior of a Japanese-style apartment. But the greatest taffeta and jacquard curtains are popular. nine0003

Ideas for the nursery

Zoning applied also in children. Since in the nursery it is necessary to distribute play and sleeping places, then zoning can be applied here. One of the main criteria is that the child likes the room in which he plays. Which means and walls, and furniture, and decor should satisfy him.

Often for boys use blue, curtains in the style of space or with cars. For the girls use more subtle tones, such as red, pink, or patterned curtains bright colors. Or you can use a neutral curtain to separate one rooms for two children. Use double curtain, pink color for girl and blue is for a boy. This method will perfectly fit into the interior and emphasize the individuality of each child. nine0003

Of course you will need the cornice on which the curtains will be attached. There are many types of them, ranging from ordinary ceiling, and ending with automatic. There is nothing in fixing them to the ceiling. complicated - this can be done with a screwdriver and self-tapping screws that go into kit.

Next decide on the hooks on which the curtains will hang. When choosing curtains, pay attention to their length. It is better to make them a little shorter so that they do not reached the floor, so the curtains will not "drag" on the floor and collect excess debris and dust. Furniture should also be arranged so that the rooms differed from each other, and did not copy the interior. nine0003

Output

Thus, for a small number of actions can be done just a huge amount various composition options. And they will all be unique, not similar Each other. Yes, and in relation to other methods of zoning, this one is the most economical. But it is the curtains and curtains that set the tone for the entire room. The main thing is to approach the matter with imagination and creativity.

More than just curtains: Unusual textile techniques

The most noticeable and familiar textile element in the room is ordinary curtains. But even they can be used casually.

Dale Alcock Homes

1. Textile as wallpaper
While the forums decide whether to hang curtains only the width of the window or the entire wall, the authors of this project in Australia acted more radically: they covered three walls in the room with curtains at once. The solution is not for allergy sufferers: three times more textiles - three times more dust. But pay attention to how cozy and chamber the atmosphere turned out to be. nine0003

An important point: so that the interior does not look too crowded and oppressive, choose thin translucent fabrics that allow natural light to pass through.

Daria Kharitonova

Photo idea: in this project from Russia, the designer chose textiles and wallpapers of the same ornament. E if you close the window, p you get a cozy bedroom “casket”

However, on the wall next to him, it can look spectacular. A piece of textile with sculptural folds is a full-fledged decor element in a laconic and restrained interior. nine0003

Bureau of Alexandra Fedorova

“We deliberately didn't hang curtains in the living room so as not to cover the panorama of the city. The adjacent wall was decorated with textiles, just as a decorative device,” explains the hostess of the apartment in the photo, architect Alexandra Fedorova.

3. Curtain instead of a partition
Beautiful textile cuts or screens are able to divide the room into the required number of zones: to distinguish between a sleeping place and an office, a living room and a dining room. Such a decision is easier to implement than to build partitions. It looks visually easier. Yes, and more mobile - if desired, everything can be quickly changed. nine0003

Studio Sven

Studio Sven

This studio apartment in Los Angeles is decorated with colorful cuts of fabric. They zone the space, they are also a colorful decorative accent. Part of it is fixed on the walls, part of the courts around, on hinged cornices. Similar models are installed on the wall to the right and left of the window and open like sashes. When open, the curtains visually delimit the space, when closed, they dim the light and provide privacy. nine0003

Siruk Design

Idea from the photo: You can hint at the borders - do not explicitly mark them with curtains of a rich shade. Translucent fabrics in neutral tones also work well.

Irina Krasheninnikova

4. A curtain instead of a picture
It is not necessary to sew something from a beautiful piece of textile, reminiscent of a roller blind - it can be used as a decoration. For example, hang on the wall instead of a poster or a picture. Such an expressive accent will set the mood for the entire interior. And it will be easy to replace it with another one. nine0003

Note: In the example in the photo, a print from the Finnish company Marimekko was used to decorate the wall with a curtain. Pay attention to how the graphic pattern echoes other furnishings: black upholstery and thin bench legs, black and white carpet stripes on the floor.

idea. Choose a soothing color and soft wave draperies, as in this photo. Or traditional, familiar-looking curtains with pleats, as in the next one. nine0003

By the way, the drapery behind the headboard serves as an "accent wall". If you get bored, replacing the wall decor with a curtain is as easy as shelling pears.

MARION STUDIO

6. Curtain as a screen
Even in a modest "odnushka" it is really possible to highlight a separate sleeping corner. Space can be zoned in different ways: for example, using furniture or a screen. In the photo below we see an example from a studio apartment of just 30 sq.m. - “walls” of whitewashed wooden slats rest on the base of the bed. nine0003

The Brooklyn Home Company

The Brooklyn Home Company

Slits between slats allow light to pass through so that the "bedroom" does not look gloomy. You can control the lighting from the inside - with the help of curtains. The designer chose the white color of textiles: together with bleached wood, it creates the feeling of a fresh village morning. But in Russian reality, this will cause unnecessary associations with the procedural one. Better take a fabric with an ornament.

7. Curtains for pleasant dreams
Curtains to fence off the bed were invented back when the canopy was invented. In this project, the idea was interpreted in a modern way: the parent's bed was separated from the child's bed and the dressing room at the entrance (wardrobes are clearly visible from the parents' bed, the curtain solves this issue). nine0003

Idea from photo: Narrow pieces of fabric, which are not enough for full-fledged curtains, come in handy to symbolically separate personal space. For example, in a room for several people, as in the photo, or a work area. Thanks to the pickups, this option looks almost like a real curtain. It seems as if you can completely draw it up, fence off the bed with a curtain and retire (but judging by the cornice, this is not so). nine0003

8. Curtain for children's needs
In the photo - a children's room from Russia for several kids. To separate the sleeping area from the work area, the designer used curtains at the head of the bed. By the way, the curtains are paired: they twitch both at the base - from the side of the closet, and at the headboard, from the side of the desk.

LVA-Interior

A similar problem was solved in this project - to hide the game room. Toddlers who sleep during the day are not always able to quickly "get out of the game." To do this, toys literally need to be removed from sight. For example, to isolate the play area from the “sleepy” zone with the help of curtains. nine0003

9. Curtain around the sofa. Like in a fairy tale
This room is located in London and looks like an illustration from an oriental fairy tale. The whole environment works to create such an effect: carved panels, low sofas and tables, lots of pillows, a shabby carpet. One of the main roles belongs to textiles - curtains fence off soft seats, making the space more chamber and cozy. And thanks to the light shade, the design does not look heavy.

10. Instead of doors
One common solution is to use fabric instead of the door of a cabinet or cabinet. Most often it is found in the kitchen, but who will prevent going beyond it. If you have nothing to hide, flying tulle will easily replace the wardrobe doors. A possible scenario is to use the same textiles as on the windows (photo in the project below).

Architectural workshop of Elena Timchenko

Things are closed from dust, but at the same time everything is in sight. To avoid visual chaos, you will have to maintain perfect order on the shelves. Or just use a thicker fabric, as the designer did in this project. By the way, this apartment has another solution - with velvet curtains in the corridor, reminiscent of the owner of Agent Provocature boutiques. nine0003

11. Curtain to hide the excess
Sometimes it is important to solve directly opposite tasks - to fill the room with natural light, but hide it from prying eyes. This task is solved not only by the inhabitants of the first floor, but also, for example, by the owners of doors with glass panels. In the case of the bathroom in this project, the designer covered the bottom with translucent organza (light still comes through the top glass). nine0003

All that is required is two cornices (at the top and bottom of the curtain along the width of the door leaf).
