Must use curtains

11 years ago

Hi

I recently moved and would love to use my curtains. Im having a hard time choosing a color that will work with the curtains this time around. In my past home they were used in my dining room this time around I would like to use them in a sitting/cocktail room.

Please help with color selection and decor ideas.

Thank you

    Hi Rina,

    The room is actually empty but Im leaning towards maybe this look. I want it to be a room for adults to have a conversation and drink but worry that the curtains wont work because of the color of the embroidery. I love the color you picked but I am worried that it might be too bright.

    Thank you for your help

    I think your drapes are lovely and it looks like lots of creamy color and taupe could create a peaceful and sophisticated room for your uses

    Same color as the cream in your drapery will create an elegant room and bring in a touch of the turquoise in subtle and sophisticated ways.

    I love the idea of using cream and taupe I just thought it would be to light but I actually think it will look lovely. Any suggestions on color?

    Thank you for the great ideas

    Here are a few more pictures I found. I think all of these and the ones above that I posted and that Maureen posted are beautiful in their own way. I would probably use the cream color from the curtains on the wall and add any more touches of turquoise with accessories or maybe an occasional chair. But that taupe wallpaper in the last set of pictures I posted and the rug beneath are just stunning to me.

    The taupe is also my favorite! I'm thinking about maybe painting it taupe and using gold glided mirrors as accents. I love the idea of wallpaper but the husband not so much.

    I think that would be pretty. Maybe keep the furniture fairly light or neutral with accents in the teal color.

    Good morning from my side of the world. What a great set of inspiration pictures ... it looks as though you have found your answer. :-)

    Consider painting the walls (or at least one wall) the gorgeous bright turquoise hue. Another thought is to find a gorgeous natural colored grasscloth.

    A conservative influence of grey seating with chrome or satin legs sort of thing? Lamps too with sheen. The good cream idea is in this rug, and walls Idk....

    Not sure why, but I wonder about 1 or 2 tile colors mixed like this, on one wall?

    How many windows are there? And what is flooring?

    Especially if you have light-medium wood on floor, I could picture a muted sage, with removable wallpaper like this somewhere: on back of bookcases.... pretty and might not be too much if a distance from windows --

    A wall of real wood or wallpaper?

    Dark floors / then dark legs...as others said, it depends. And depends on if you want a more dreamy feminine look, or organic-contemporary, or den-leather....
