How to choose patterned curtains for your living room <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to choosing curtains with patterns for your living room–or for any room–there are a few things to keep in mind. Window treatments can truly make or break a room, so you’ll want to choose wisely–but where to begin? You’ll want to decorate using a color or pattern that you love, but where do you go after that? In other words, how can you make that the print you’ve selected will work with the rest of the room?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by determining your room’s focal point. If you want your windows to serve as the room’s visual focus, then choose eye-catching window treatments that are bold in pattern or color (or both!). Maybe you’ like your curtain panels to play a supporting role to the rest of your decor. In that case, find drapery in a color that’s similar to the color of your walls. This could be either in the pattern itself or in the background color of the print. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an example of a room where the curtains blend nicely with the wall color and still contain a lovely pattern. A gentle Moroccan pattern keeps these from being an ordinary set of white sheer curtains<\/a>. They bring subtle beauty and a sense of peacefulness to this room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s another way to use a patterned curtain that looks lovely without clamoring for attention as we see in the next example. A mid-large size pattern with a contrasting color creates a window treatment that doesn’t compete with the rest of the room decor; rather, the patterned curtains enhance<\/em> it. They’re the perfect accessory for the space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you certainly don’t have to rely on neutral colors to create an elegant window treatment. A floral patterned curtain delivers color and visual interest. A block printed window treatment like provides a variegated palette that, in turn, allows you to draw from a myriad of hues for decorative accents (like throw pillows<\/a>, blankets, and other accessories). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A floral pattern printed on a white or ivory ground delivers a dab of color to a neutral wall. However, a patterned window treatment printed on a vibrant ground turns up the color factor. In the following example, the room is still relatively neutral, but the orange hue of the curtains casts a vivid, warm glow that happens to tie in with the colors of the throw pillow<\/a> on the sofa. We also love how the colors and patterns connect without being overly matchy-matchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you’re not into neutral and long to embrace color within a bright, vivid space. In that case, you’ve definitely turned to the right place<\/a>! When you’re after a bold window treatment, there are two things to keep in mind: scale <\/em>and contrast. <\/em>A medium-large scale pattern will command attention and carry some visual weight, which is what you want in a window treatment intended to serve as a focal point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A contrast in color will also help to create a stunning window treatment. Think of hanging a light-colored curtain against a dark wall (or vice versa). Complementary colors also provide beautiful contrast–just choose a hue that’s opposite from your wall color on the color wheel<\/a>. See how these orange floral patterned curtains contrast with the deep sage paint color. This window treatment is certainly an eye-catcher in this naturally boho, eclectic space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re still not sure what will work best for your particular room, then ask yourself how you want the room to feel. Do you want your room to feel exciting, swanky, or calm? Are you looking for a multicolored pattern to connect your decor, or are you looking for something with more of a gentle touch? The answers to these questions will help you find the right patterned window treatment for your interior design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
