What color should my curtains be?
Question by Anissa: What color should my curtains be?
I have a purple sofa and chair. The walls have been painted a cream (off-white) color. I have a sliding glass door, which is the only place that needs a window treatment in the room. Besides the purple furniture, I have no other furniture in the room yet and I haven’t decided on a color scheme. What color should the curtains be?
I don’t have carpet in the basement. I have a brown linoleum floor. I plan to purchase an area rug.

Depending on what shade of purple your curtains are, you can go with a variety of colors. The easiest way to do this, is go to the paint store, (or even sherwin williams online) and find something close to your couch color on the little paint cards (or the closest thing). Then look for the booklet that shows the colors that the purple matches best with. Home Depot even has this in the paint section. You can then pick and a color from there. If your couch is a solid, I would use a patterned curtain to break up the color a little (stripes or flowers or dots) I like the idea of a curtain with a little orange in them. I wouldnt use cream, too plain for someone with a purple couch.

They should match the carpet.
Orange.
u want your ‘curtains’ 2 be matchin’ your ‘rug’
a light blue that will go well with the purple furniture.
I would go with cream and see if you could find some purple trim to match.
how about some off-white horizontal blinds?
you can have them match the furniture or a color in the area rug you will be getting. off-white/ivory/neutral is always a good pick, goes with everything.
the same color as ur walls
A shade that is between a dark cream and a brown
You could go for a suttle pattern in the curtains & using both cream & purple shades in the pattern…or go for a purple shade of curtains with cream sheers in between the panels of purple,or vice versa on colors…if you buy other pieces of furniture to go with it all,just to be sure & include the rooms colors or the most dominate one in that furniture as well…
Whatever you decide have the curtains lined so that you do not have a bright color showing from the outside of the house. I like to see houses with all the curtains showing the same color from the outside.
