What color drapes for this room?

Lou Devillon on Jul 18, 2016Aqua Teal family. Too much beige going on. I would paint the walls a light aqua and use a deeper shade in the drapes, preferably a print with white. Rust colored pillows and accents are the perfect opposite for aqua . a medium size contemporary chandelier would look awesome on the ceiling.Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Jul 18, 2016Assuming the wall color is staying, I would pull a color out of the pictures for the window covering to compliment but not darken your room.Helpful Reply

Phm5002879 on Jul 18, 2016Either the burnt orange or the teal blue from the pictures would be great! I prefer happy , warm colors , so I would choose the burnt orange. Something with texture to them would make them interesting and not boring.Helpful Reply

Diana Deiley on Jul 18, 2016I'd also paint the room a lighter color to bring in more light such as Country White or Sundrenched Sand. A true white linen drape would look elegant, keeping the room airy and bright. Your room, your rules. Best of luck.Helpful Reply

Marie Revak Yelle on Jul 18, 2016I like the other suggestions of teal. Consider moving the rod higher so that the drapes are about 1/4" - 1/2" from the floor.Helpful Reply

Kat8629957 on Jul 18, 2016I love to put color on my walls... but I have white curtains in all my rooms. Especially when the trim is white. You can grab colors from the art for pillows and accessories. The suggestions of moving the rods closer to the ceiling is a good one,,,costs nothing and adds so much to the look.Helpful Reply

Phyllis on Jul 18, 2016I suggest raising curtain rid almost to the ceiling and use tael blue. Pull color from the painting. Hope you like my suggestions.Helpful Reply

Lizzy L on Jul 18, 2016I would paint the walls a soft grey or greige, put a large rug (6X9 or 8X10) under the bed, remove one of those heavy dressers, then hang new drapes a couple inches from the ceiling to the floor, in a color that compliments the new rug. I would also get a prettier bedspread or duvet.Helpful Reply

Jaci on Jul 19, 2016I'm all about color, so I'd take my time & try to find softer fabric-sheers?-in a pattern that incorporates the colors you already have in the room. With all the same shades, you need something that's going to bring a bit of life to the room...And using a lite weight fabric won't weigh the room downHelpful Reply

Bit By Bit Shop on Jul 19, 2016I would buy a colorful comforter then match the curtain to an accent color in the comforter. I use this method when painting a bedroom as well. It is very easy to pick paint colors, rugs, pillows & art to compliment a large comforter.Helpful Reply

Genie on Jul 19, 2016Find the focal point of your room. I would say the painting. Take a bright color from that painting and match it to your drapes. Try not to use more of the brown or beige colors in your room. By a bright cover for your bed to match the drapes.Helpful Reply
