If you want to choose very similar colors for these two interior elements, then it is important to consider the rule: the color of the curtains should differ by several tones; it is better if the curtains are slightly darker than the wall coverings. But it’s still better to purchase products that are similar in color scheme, that is, they will combine well with each other, but not repeat each other’s shades.

Nude tones will be acceptable in both light and dark rooms. The rules for selecting colors from the same range are fundamental, but you can deviate from it when you want to get more bright combination. In this case, you need to give preference to a contrasting design, combining completely opposite colors - the wallpaper should be darker or, on the contrary, brighter than the color of the walls.

This is a risky solution, but it is easy to implement. In this case, one rule must be taken into account: the third color must be chosen so that it is brighter than the other two, and at the same time it must go well with both of them. Compliance with all the above rules will help create a harmonious environment in any room.

In this case, curtains decorated with large patterns are best suited; they will diversify the interior of the room. Moreover, these can be either fairly large single images, for example, some interesting ornament, interlacing of lines, a painting or large flowers, or a small, frequently repeated print. Curtains decorated with geometric patterns and abstract designs are very popular now. They look great against a plain background. wall covering and are able to make the room more interesting and varied in design.

Also, a bright pattern on the curtains is perfect for decorating a room with plain wallpaper in which there is a large number of different furniture. But try not to use wallpaper with bright designs, decorated with various patterns with multi-colored curtains. This combination will look tasteless and will ruin the interior of any room.

• To the lilac wallpaper Light curtains that are made from wicker materials are perfect. In this case, it is better to purchase curtains from pastel colors, and monochromatic options are better suited. But you can diversify this ensemble with the help of various bows, fasteners, clips, as well as other accessories for window decoration.

It is better if these decorative elements combine perfectly with other interior items in the room.

• It's a little more difficult to choose curtains to green wallpaper. The latter can be either dark green or bright, light green. It is better to choose curtains for them in pastel or dark colors, and it is better to give preference to colors that belong to the cold color scheme. You can choose lemon models made of lightweight fabrics; they can be complemented with tassels or fringe. If you prefer to use darker curtains in combination with green wallpaper, it is better to give preference to emerald, brown, and indigo models. You can revive such a room with the help of curtains with a not clearly expressed light pattern on them; it will help make the interior more lively and bright.

• The easiest way is to match curtains to beige wall coverings. This is the most versatile option, which is always relevant and interesting; it is suitable for both a room in a classic and a design in a modern style. Delicate colors of curtains will help soften the interior and make it more delicate, so it is better to purchase peach, milk, caramel, light brown or yellowish curtains. In this case, it is better not to use bright decorative items on the curtains, as they will look too flashy and will not fit into such a cozy environment. For such a room interior, curtains made of light fabrics are better suited, but you can also choose dense models. They should be softened with thin tulle.

• To the golden wallpaper It’s better not to choose curtains in dark colors; instead, you can use light fabric models in warm colors. In this case, beige curtains with a peach pattern will look great.

Options for finishing with a pattern

The most difficult thing is to choose the decoration of windows if the wall covering has different patterns. The design can be either pronounced or pale, and the decorative elements can be both large and small. For striped wallpaper, it is best to purchase plain curtains in a classic style; they should match one of the shades on the walls and not be very bright. This applies to both vertical and horizontal stripes.

For floral wallpaper, you can choose curtains with the same pattern, but it should be larger in size. This type of room decoration will look very stylish and interesting.

Also, plain light curtains made from lightweight materials are perfect for striped or colorful wallpaper, as they are the most versatile. If you have wallpaper with golden or silver monograms, it is better to choose luxurious curtains with a metallic or mother-of-pearl shade. They can also have a light golden pattern, repeating the patterns on the walls, but smaller or, on the contrary, larger. This room interior will look very chic.

Taking into account the texture of the fabric

In addition to the combination of colors, it is also important to choose the right combination of fabric texture and wallpaper. Curtain fabric matched to the wall covering material will provide harmonious design interior Thick and heavy wallpaper, such as vinyl, is best suited for hanging curtains made of fairly thick material in such a room. In this case, it is better to purchase curtains made of jacquard, cotton, or linen. These dense and rough materials will harmonize perfectly with each other. In addition, velvet wallpaper will look great in this case; it will make the room more luxurious and diversify its interior.

For thin and light-structured wallpaper, thin fabrics such as tulle, pleated, organza, cambric and others are best suited. A light veil will look great on a wall with thin wallpaper that does not have a pronounced voluminous texture.

These rules for combining textures are fundamental, but not everyone prefers to follow them, because in some cases curtains made from thin materials, can visually “lighten” thick wallpaper. In this case, the curtains should be decorated with fairly large accessories or patterns that will make them a little brighter and heavier. Large tassels, fringe, rhinestones, appliques or large rings are perfect. This way you can make the curtains more massive.

Another rule that must be taken into account before choosing curtains for a room covered with wallpaper with a pronounced relief is that such curtains should also have a repeating pattern that will stand out. It can be expressed both in the form of a regular ornament and in the form of embroidery or screed.

Also, when choosing, you should not ignore the texture of the furniture.

When planning the interior of a room, it is necessary to take into account many details, correctly combine materials and use suitable color schemes. The design of the window composition is very important: it is quite massive and catches the eye, so you need to know all the subtleties of selecting curtains for wallpaper.

The style of curtains and material should be chosen based on the design style of the room, the characteristics of the window space, as well as the personal wishes of the apartment owner. As for the color of the curtains, it needs to be selected taking into account the wallpaper.

If the furniture goes well with the interior, then the task is simplified: it is enough to sew curtains from the same materials as lampshades, furniture upholstery and bed sheets or from fabrics of similar colors and patterns. This is a win-win, but it is important to remember that the result will be a rather boring and monotonous design.

There are several basic rules for selecting curtains:

Choosing curtains depending on the room

Each room is finished according to its own rules, depending on its purpose.

It is recommended to buy canvases that will repeat the pattern, and preferably with the same thickness of stripes. If you don’t like this solution at all, you can purchase checkered items.

• If wallpaper with large patterns or many regular or irregular patterns is pasted on the surfaces geometric shapes, then the curtains should be calmer. It is best to choose massive plain curtains. In some situations, options with small patterns are allowed.

• Curtains for wallpaper with abstraction should be made in the same style. You can also use canvases with tints or gradients of colors.

Shape of the canvases

On a note:

• Materials such as tulle, chiffon, organza and veil will add maximum lightness, charm and charm to your interior. Choose this option if you want to achieve a romantic style.
• Dense materials such as velvet, brocade or jacquard ennoble the room and bring a touch of luxury to the interior. Curtains made from this material are perfect for an office or living room.

• To make your room look more elegant, choose silk or satin curtains. However, keep in mind that these fabrics are very capricious and can give a different shade, both in daylight and in evening light.

Color combinations

Selecting curtains to match white wallpaper is one of the most serious problems that owners of such finishes inevitably face. What products are still worth paying attention to so that they perfectly complement the interior and do not spoil it with an inappropriate color?

Designers recommend choosing contrasting fabrics to refresh the room with a bright spot. However, they are not limited to just bright colors. Even white curtains are used to match the color of the wallpaper itself, with the only difference being that such curtains must have a pattern or some catchy accent, for example, golden prints or patterns.

But what to do if the interior contains white finish and dark furniture? In this case, choosing curtains will not be difficult, since absolutely any curtains will suit such furniture. For example, for brown items you can purchase curtains of the same color. They will complement the interior, focusing on brown.

Or you can give preference to white curtains. In this case, they will match the color of the light wallpaper without focusing on the window.

The very first rule that you should adhere to if you do not want to be known as a person who does not have good taste is: “choose curtains to match the color of your wallpaper.”

However, there are a couple of nuances that are worth paying attention to:

1. Curtains should match the shade of the wallpaper. If you have dark blue wallpaper, then choose curtains of the same shade, for example, just blue canvases, or light blue. Not a tone to match the wallpaper, but a shade cooler/lighter;
2. Contrasting, bright shades can be chosen if the wallpaper is a neutral color (white, black, gray, beige). Such curtains will look very attractive against a pale background, adding a fresh note to it;
3. Curtains made in one of the shades that are in your interior will look good. For example, if you have two leading colors in your room - pink and cream, then give preference to any of them. So, you can choose cream or pink curtains.

How to choose?

Let's summarize the information you should know when buying curtains for white wallpaper:

• if you do not want to place a special emphasis on the window and the curtains themselves, choose white curtains with a pattern or a bright element (for example, gold) so as not to merge everything into one faded space;
• the best option There will be contrasting curtains as opposed to white wallpaper. These curtains will add an element of brightness to your room;
• if the room has dark furniture, then designers recommend choosing curtains of a similar or similar shade. Then you will achieve the greatest harmony in the interior;
• the colors of the wallpaper and your curtains should not conflict. It is unacceptable, for example, to hang green curtains in a pink room.

If you stick to these basic principles when choosing curtains, you will make your task much easier, and you will not have to hire experienced designers to decorate your interior.
