Curtains

9 years ago

This is a corner in our bedroom. We have a simple bed as well. What kind of curtains should be here? Long ones, short ones, what color? I have no patterns on anything in the room by the moment.

Definitely full-length, ceiling to floor, and hung a foot or so beyond the window/. Hard to talk about colour -- I can't even see if the wall is paint or wallpaper, and is it green or grey or blue or something else? Is the blue in the front corner of the pic your bedding? A clear pic of the wall surface would be great, and a couple more of other angles of the room would help, too.

Here is a picture of the ceiling with a crystal lamp. The walls are actually wallpapered with what we in Norwegian call "wall-straightener", and then painted in "cooling/cold elegance" a blue/light grey color.

Are you intending to keep the blind? If so, you could hang a sheer curtain from ceiling height and let it pool on the floor a little. The sheer could be white, or a misty grey. Do you have any other windows in the room?

No, the room is about 11-12 square meters, and this is the only window. We need the blind because in the summer season the sun shines up to 19 hours a day. If I removed it I would need to have thick curtains that kept the light away.

I like the idea of full length sheer curtains. But is it best to buy silk, or would you suggest another fabric?

I agree, I think you should keep the blind. That was why I asked - otherwise, yes, you'd need something light blocking.

No, I would use a very lightweight cotton, I actually used IKEA 'Vilma' (I think)

If you make them wider than the window, it'll give the illusion of a larger window and complement your lovely chair.

I love the idea of generous sheers there. Especially now I've seen the chandelier. Bravo, the moxie! Introducing a bit of pattern's not a bad idea -- perhaps a large, comfortable cushion on the chair in a restrained print in blue and white? Or you could use that opportunity to introduce another colour -- a soft, creamy yellow, perhaps.
