Windows can become a key piece in your home’s decoration — even a daring one. You can achieve this by choosing eye-catching patterns and very bright colours.
Every day we see more and more of these kinds of fabrics, since they’re on trend. So you’ll have plenty of material to choose from. That said, choosing these fabrics needs to be done carefully and thoughtfully (so as not to tip over into garish!), following these basic rules:
-
Eye-catching patterns are ideal for rooms with light-coloured walls. This way, you make a statement without breaking the harmony of your decor.
-
Eye-catching patterns should go in large rooms. Avoid them in small rooms, as they can feel overwhelming and make the space seem smaller.
-
Delicate patterns on a light or white background can work with strong-coloured walls without looking excessive.
-
If what you want is a bold, bright-coloured curtain or blind, you need to be clear on whether you want it to stand out from the rest of the room’s decor, or simply blend in with it. If it’s the former you’re after, your curtains should be a brighter colour than the walls.
-
Never combine patterned curtains with bright block-colour curtains in the same room, as this can break the harmony and balance of your space.
Following these basic rules, you’ll achieve modern, cutting-edge and daring rooms that will set trends among your guests.
