    They really blend right into each other. It might be better to have a curtain with some color on it.

    That's true. we had some really bright colors earlier, got bored of that and now going g to something milder.

    this is what we would be replacing.

    That's the way I want my curtains to look in the front area of the house. The bedrooms get curtains that stand out a bit more. Not sure why that's the way I do it, maybe the kitchen and living room have so much going on they need a continuous wall? Curtaining with a contrasting color is like adding another piece of furniture to the room. I'd have to see the whole room to tell if I'd prefer curtains that blend with the walls or ones that stand out.

    It looks nice and soft, but perhaps could use one more panel? I like the drapery to not look to "stretched" out when closed. Rule of thumb about 2-1/2 times the width of window for the drapery. That usually means two panels on each side or split one and add to each single side panel. Easier to just do two panels. You can also put the rods out from the edges of the windows somewhat to make the window seem larger and let more light in when they are open.

    Trying these off white with gold in it. these go on a patio sliding door. We are loving these white on gray walls. Brightens up the room/space well.

    Love those curtain panels..I like the way they look..much more of a sophisticated look..very pretty...the only suggestion is they really should be hung higher..do they come in longer length?

  • 9 years ago
    Didn't find them longer at 96". Rest of the windows in this area are taller at 96".

    I will try to get the whole room picture. Next up is remove the old bronze look light fixture above the dining table and match with something lighter (silver finish, not chrome)

    Finally went with these light blue on gray walls for the 3 big windows. The patio door has the white with gold in last post.

    Lightens up the room very well!

    Are they all in the same room..blue and white with gold pattern?

  • 9 years ago
    Yes. it's a big open long living plus Dining area. the blues are in the living area windows and the white / gold is in the dining area in the sliding patio door...we thought it would clash, but to our eyes it didn't...

    I will try to get a shot of the wall showing the two curtains.

    Usually you can do complementary type patterns but same color scheme...I would change one or the other for a more cohesive look...maybe find a creamy white with a texture or smaller pattern in the longer length for the living room..to really give it a finished look...I would strongly recommend changing the blue out.....being honest..and know that you wouldn't ask for our opinion if you didn't want it....it is what I would tell any one of my clients that are paying me for advice...

    i think it depends on your aim, here. Do you want other furnishings to stand out..., then use your gray monochrome pallet everywhere else. Do you want the drapes and rug to stand out, then use color there ;)
