Advice on curtains

8 years ago




Looking for some advice on what color/pattern curtains would work with my family room. I have an open concept kitchen and living room set up. My wall colors are a shade a teal and many accents in this area are yellow.

    Without see the total room it's hard to provide advice for this. This layout may not be the best solution for this room.

    Gorgeous rooms and I love almost all of the curtain suggestions- but definitely agree that first find the rug you will use in family room. At first glance, I thought that white blinds (and nothing more) would be beautiful. If I had to pick of the examples posted here, I prefer those with the lighter backgrounds.

    Hi, all. My room color is nearly identical and I am struggling with choices for curtains and area rugs, too.

    I love your room, Kielty, and am watching responses with great interest.

    While folks are responding to Kielty’s curtain question, i’d Be grateful if you could also provide some rug choices. Thank you.

    I think there is more than enough teal in the room. I would look for a neutral/greige patterned rug.

    Here are some rugs that have some colors that could also work.

    I didn't mean to hijack the original post by asking for rugs to be included; sorry, Kielty; you asked for curtains. Thank you, everyone - I'll continue to watch with great interest.

    I suggest roman shades for the windows on the fireplace wall as there is not enough wall space to hold the drapes when opened. Drapes however would like good on the other wall. I love prints so I do not discourage you from prints or florals. If your budget allows buy lined drapes; they hang better and look so much better than unlined drapes. But do find a rug first.

    Thank you everyone for the insightful suggestions. I know that I do need a rug, but since it’s a new home construction and we moved in 2 months ago our grass in our yard won’t have a chance to come up until spring. Having pets, and with the family room being a high traffic area, I am delaying on the rug until we have grass and no muddy paws.

    you have a beautiful room by the way! curtains always gives a living room that finished look. Shear curtains and some blinds with a brown, light brown, earthy color to match the floors and fireplace

    Such a nice room! Your return space around your fireplace is really tight and from the photos it looks like there might not be enough room for hardware and panels.

    Before you decide on what to do with the rest of the room figure out which window treatment options will actually fit by the fireplace.

    I would not do a strong pattern, there are too many windows in the room and it will look overwhelming.

    I like window treatments because they soften things up and make it cozy. I get what is being said about the wall space near the fireplace windows. You could just do panels on the outside of each of those instead of panels on both sides of the windows. Use blinds as the functional part that provides privacy. Does that make sense?
