Drapery color?

9 years ago

Our condo living/dining room has a green distressed wood tv stand, mink/charcoal couch, tannish dining chairs, a glass table and painting pictured (which is currently hung too high!) ...area rug we have purchased is in colours and design attached . What color curtains do you suggest? Thanks

I'd suggest a color from the art. I can't find one I like, but an inverted pleat in the barely teal as in the art? Something a bit more "custom" looking rather than say, a grommet style. The room looks great and you don't want to ugly it with cheap looking drapery.

I agree with Darzy. I would also like to see the curtains in a fabric with more texture.

Looks like a tricky window, or it actually looks like a sliding glass door. I would get a professional to come out and measure. I agree with Darzy that you want to do something custom and very tailored. From the picture you posted, it is hard to see where you would hang the rod. A professional could help you with that.

I think one of the colors from your art or perhaps the same color of the wall might be pretty but it is really hard to see, since the picture you posted is dark.

Thanks for all the helpful advice.
One other question- should the drapes go all the way to the floor or until the frame as the sheers currently are ? Thanks!

if you hang them in front of the doors- to the floor.

TO THE FLOOR! Perhaps doing a heavier panel in a grey flannel(ish) type fabric with LIGHT and airy sheers underneath.

Or perhaps some lovely linen in a very trendy "Poised taupe".(Sherwin Williams color of the year for 2017)

I personally wouldn't add any patterns with your drapery fabric choice. The room is SO beautifully 'clean'. Let the art stand for itself. The design of your space just needs some delish fabric added.

If you are planning on keeping the artwork for awhile, I would definitely go with a shade of blue to compliment the artwork.

If you have pets or children, I'd suggest 1/4" Above Finished Floor (AFF).

Color - I'd suggest a deep color taken from the art (agree w/above advice) or your distressed green - I'd look at a greenish, blueish, charcoalish color fabric...sorry if that doesn't make sense when written but I can see it in my head. lol

Wishing you a brightly colored day! good Luck
