Although curtains have been around for hundreds of years, they are still as popular as ever with our Ballarat customers. With Ballarat experiencing very hot and very cold weather throughout the year, curtains have many benefits in keeping your home and office cooler in summer and warmer in winter. At Davidson’s Blinds & Shutters our range of curtains compliments everything from traditional homes and offices, to modern residences and buildings. We also have a huge array of colours to choose from, but how do you know what colours to choose when you’re spoilt for choice? Here’s our top tips when it comes to colour.
Starting From Scratch
If you are building a new home or commercial office, then choosing curtain colours can be much easier. No matter what colour or pattern you choose, you can match it to your style and decor. You can decide if you want a more traditional look, a country style, or a more contemporary style. One of the most important things to consider is the colour of walls, floors, carpets and furniture. You can select a main colour from the room’s design and then match it with your curtains.
A popular option is choosing curtain colours in a neutral palette such as earthy and pastel tones like browns, pastel pinks, light greys, or traditional white. If you want a period or heritage look, you can select rich heavy duty elegant fabrics with beautiful folds and matching pelmets, tassels and trimmings. Popular colours are golds, greens, velvet fabric, or creams matched with lace or plain sheers. Or if you want to make a statement, then you may choose bold curtain patterns and colours to contrast your walls such as red, blue, yellow or even stripes.
Light Curtains Versus Dark Curtains
Different kinds of curtains can effect light filtering. Sheer fabrics can soften and brighten a room, whereas heavy duty block out curtains will block out light and are excellent in rooms that require more darkness and privacy like bedrooms and theatre rooms.
The colour of curtains makes a huge difference in a room. Light coloured curtains such as white and neutral tones are very popular due to making rooms look soft and elegant and they can also make rooms look larger. Light coloured curtains tend to also be made of lightweight fabrics to provide a flowing, classic look. Certain fabrics such as lace, embroidery, or floral fabrics can provide a relaxing warmth to any room.
Dark coloured curtains add a sense of contrast and sophistication to your room and work really well in spacious interiors and rooms with high ceilings. Dark colours compliment light coloured walls including off white, greys and light brown tones. Dark coloured curtains don’t have to always mean black, dark brown or dark greys, more stylish modern darker colours include blues, or shades of red or green.
