I have been a lurker for a long time and this is my first post.

First I'm thankful to all the members posting here so someone like me who is new to remodeling can learn a lot. I am planning on using curtains for the first time and I'm overwhelmed with all the choices. I am almost done purchasing curtains (JCPenney) but I haven't put them up yet. I am mostly going for grommet panels with this type of look (Check the link) with 2 color panels for each window.

However, all the pictures I'm seeing here are single color. I don't have a strong preference for one over the other. Will the multi color panels get dated after a few years?

If that's the case I will return them all and stick to using the same panels for the entire window. The paint colors are SW Ivoire, Impressive Ivory etc (light neutrals) and the sofa sets are ivory & black all leather.

Thanks in advance for your input.
