Home Decorating Windows Design Dilemma

Two shades of white sheers. Which to choose?

3 years ago

Hi, I’m torn between these two shades of sheers for our windows. one is a true white and the other is a bit of an off-white or light beige. Which would you go for and why? The true white is on right side window and off-white Is on the left window

Hard to say what the drape color is the the side; either could work. They need to be doubled up for sure. What colors are you using for the bedding?

The drapes are a tan/ light brown (Picture attached) and the bedding is a shade of white which is in between the two shades of white sheers, doesn’t match either exactly but is closer to true white

I like the off white. It has a warm soft glow while the pure white is giving off blues and purples that clash with your paint/decor.

Off-white ... for reasons cd listed. It looks so much more cohesive.
