Curtain Fabric Colour Guide
Choosing the right curtain colour can completely transform your space. Whether you're looking to create a calm retreat, a vibrant statement, or a timeless backdrop, our colour guide will help you pick the perfect shade for your home.
1. Consider the Room's Purpose
-
Living Room: Neutrals like beige, grey, and soft white create a welcoming atmosphere. For a bold look, try navy, forest green, or deep burgundy.
-
Bedroom: Opt for calming colours such as dusty pink, lavender, or cool blues to promote relaxation.
-
Kitchen/Dining: Light colours like cream, pale yellow, or light grey keep things airy and fresh.

2. Match or Contrast With Walls
-
Matching tones blend seamlessly and make the space feel larger and more cohesive.
-
Contrasting colours can create visual interest. For example, grey walls pair beautifully with mustard, teal, or blush curtains.
3. Natural Light & Fabric Weight
-
In bright rooms, darker colours won’t overpower the space and can add depth.
-
In low-light rooms, lighter colours help reflect light and make the space feel bigger.
-
Heavier fabrics in darker colours are ideal for blocking light and adding warmth.
4. Timeless vs. Trendy
-
Timeless shades like white, grey, taupe, and navy offer flexibility and longevity.
-
Trendy colours such as sage green, terracotta, and blush pink bring a modern flair—but consider how often you like to redecorate.
5. Mood & Style Influence
-
Warm colours (red, orange, yellow) energise and uplift.
-
Cool colours (blue, green, purple) calm and soothe.
-
Earth tones feel grounded and natural—perfect for rustic or minimalist themes.
