Which fabric for roman blinds?

13 years ago
This is kind of primitive but I have put "swatches" of fabric on the windows and am looking for feedback as to which looks best. The colors in my room are aqua blue/green, browns, golds, blacks (in frames) and there are also touches of yellow & orange in the accents. Notice the scrollwork cream rug in the room.
Arden Blue / Ballard Designs
Waverly Pom Pom Play
Waverly Connected / Aqua

    I originally voted for the Eaton Square Greenville, but the Tania Pool is my new favorite! It ties in the colors of your walls, sofa and chairs beautifully, plus it echoes the curved details in the rug.

    Originally voted for the first one by Ballard, but really like the Tania Pool too.

    Ok, this is my last one because it is confusing. It is called BREA in SEA GLASS. I liked it because I saw the pattern on a cornce that I liked. But I also like TANIA POOL alot!!!

    The Tania Pool is still my favorite!

    That last one isn't doing it for me at all.

    I also voted for Eaton Square and still like it best, but Tania Pool is a close second.

    I made some slight decorative changes to the room since the original photo taken.

    Eaton has the colors not fussy easy on eyes

    I too like the Tania pool, seems to tie the room together. How did you add your swatches to the photo...an app or photo editor??

    I used Microsoft Publisher...just inserted the photo of the room then the photo of the fabric. Then I cropped the photo of the fabric to fit the window. Crude I know and probably not to scale, but it kind of gives me an idea

    Still looking good.
    Lovely art wall. You have a nice sense of style.

    I would probably go a different way like with one colour rather than patterned or curtains like below:

    I appreciate everyone's input! There are so many beautiful fabrics and options that make this a hard decision. The hardest part is deciding whether to go with a bold print or not. My tastes lean toward more traditional but I love all the new, fresh options out there. I have read that you want three different patterns max in any one room. You can see that the scrollwork pattern is in my rug & some of the furniture. I also have a chevron pillow on the couch. So...do I go with yet another pattern on the windows or try to pickup the scrollwork pattern again? Also, I LOVE color on color and embroidered looks and is why you see a lot of "demure" swatches in this batch. Decisions, decisions!

    I liked the Opal Innocence Gold until I saw the Tania Pool. I chose the first because it repeats the scrollwork and doesn't fight with your decor by being busy, but the Tania Pool draws attention to my two favorite things in the room - the colors and shapes. You are repeating the scroll arms of the two styles of chairs, the couch and the curves of the lamps as well. I also like the Arden Blue because it makes the room look bigger, pulling color across from one wall to the other.

    Oh boy...now I found this cute little dragonfly pattern that is has teal, pinks & greens in it. Not that pink would work but it sure it cute. I ordered a swatch of it. I do have dragonflies on a far wall and in one of the pieces of art in this room. So the cream background would lighten the room, the dragonflies would pick up on another accent in the room and the pattern would not be too busy and the colors ideal?!?

    And it would go with the cute pillow that I had already pinned on Pinterest months ago!!!

    Before you know it people will think you collect dragonflies and you'll need to buy a cabinet for all the dragonflies you'll get from friends and family :-)
