Color Features
Brown carries nobility, calmness and warmth. Its presence in the house creates a special pleasant atmosphere, and the rich palette helps to fit into any interior from classic to high-tech. It looks good in the living room, bedroom, hallway, kitchen and office. It not only calms you down, but gives you a feeling of stability and helps you concentrate.
But although brown color has many advantages, too saturated a shade can visually reduce the space. Therefore, for small rooms it is better to use a covering in beige tones complemented by dark blackout curtains and light translucent tulle. This technique will simultaneously preserve the dimensions of the room and add depth to the design.
A classic that is always relevant
Among the fashion trends in modern interior designs, covering walls in rooms with two types of wallpaper is considered popular. Usually they try to choose them so that they can contrast with each other in colors and patterns. If you decide to choose this method, then it is advisable to choose the curtains so that their pattern or color can repeat the color or pattern of one of the walls.
Often the best choice for any interior is white standard curtains - this makes it easier to further combine colors in the interior. White curtains and wallpaper easily and successfully combine with any modern and classic styles. Often this solution is used in classical styles. In the case of white wallpaper, sometimes sand curtains are combined advantageously - they will help create an intimate atmosphere in the room.
Also for the classic style, Roman blinds in discreet, more restrained tones, matching the color with the wallpaper, are very relevant.
How to choose a drawing
The variety of fabrics for curtains is impressive and it is difficult to decide which one suits a certain style of room - with or without ornament. But this is only at first glance; in reality everything is much simpler. The main rule is the following: if there is a pattern on the walls, then you should choose plain curtains, and if the walls are nondescript, then you should give preference to curtains with a pattern.
Moreover, the pattern can be large or small, but it must be repeated on any surface.

The interior is not only about the color of the walls, floors and furniture. The interior is all about little things, united into a single, unique style, which forms the overall perception of the room.
Therefore, it is so important to correctly and carefully select these very details, and curtains are one of them.
Curtains are not only a way to hide from unwanted light, but also an important decorative element of the interior.
Harmoniously selected curtains are the last but important touch in creating the ideal interior. They ennoble the design, make the room more comfortable, more beautiful, and the design becomes complete.

The functionality and necessity of curtains in any living space is beyond question: they perfectly protect from excess light and bright sun.
The question of how to choose the right combination of wallpaper and curtains in the interior worries many apartment owners after completing renovations. Most often it happens that we first choose the ones we like, and then, at the end of the repair work or after it is completed, we look for suitable textiles.
In order for the combination of wallpaper with curtains to be successful in this case, you need to adhere to a few simple rules, which we have given below.
Important!
Be sure to take a fragment with you to a textile store and select curtains, constantly checking the sample. If you used several types of wallpaper to decorate a room, take them all, since you will need to take into account everything that is in the room when selecting curtains.
Curtains to match
The easiest way is to choose curtains that will match the overall tone of your room.
You should not choose curtains of exactly the same color and shade, as they will blend in with the walls and be too invisible. Try choosing textiles that are a tone lighter or darker. This will help to “lighten” a too dark interior or, conversely, “mute” too bright colors.
Eye-catching wallpaper and neutral curtains
Remember that the brighter the patterns are on the wallpaper that you have chosen for the room, the calmer and more neutral the curtains should be. In this case, the fabric should only add shade to the expressive walls. With this approach, the use of lambrequins, frills, and braid in curtain models is strictly not recommended.
Neutral wallpaper and eye-catching curtains
If your walls in the room are covered with simple ones, then bright, unusual and catchy curtains will enliven the interior, make it more rich and original. The main thing is to make sure that the color combination of wallpaper and curtains matches the overall shade
.
Curtains with wallpaper of two types
Wallpaper and curtains from one manufacturer
Always check to see if the wallpaper manufacturer also produces textiles. Many modern wallpaper factories also specialize in selling curtains. If such an opportunity exists, then it would be better, of course, to buy curtains that were created by designers specifically for specific wallpapers
, ideally combined with paired curtains. So you definitely won't go wrong.
How to choose an invoice
In addition to color, you need to pay attention to the material of the walls. If thick vinyl wallpaper on a non-woven base is pasted, then the curtains must be chosen from heavy fabrics: jacquard, velvet, linen, tapestry. This technique will visually balance the interior. But when the room is decorated in a light and casual style, then the window opening should be decorated with organza, silk, or a veil.
These types of fabrics are easy to drape, creating unique and graceful silhouettes. If you want to hang curtains with massive patterns, then the fabric should also not be thick. Otherwise, the room will be visually overloaded.
Tips for choosing curtains
There are so many people, so many opinions, but there are generally accepted design canons that are relied upon when choosing curtains for light walls:
- Wallpaper the color of baked milk or made in mother-of-pearl shades serves as an advantageous backdrop for furniture made of noble dark wood, as well as curtains in chocolate and coffee combinations.
- Despite the fact that people associate interiors decorated in combinations of white with gray or blue with cold, designers consider them sophisticated. Interiors with white walls mean the opportunity to highlight the aura of purity and elegance with curtains in silver shades or curtains with a blue print.
If you are choosing curtains for a white kitchen, a lot of options are allowed: from delicate curtains with flowers or plain plain fabrics with tiebacks, to rolled options in different colors. Modern technologies have made it possible to transfer any images onto textiles, which can also be used for the harmonious design of rooms.

Color combinations
Brown in the interior is always popular. But at the same time it is considered one of the most difficult. Therefore, it is better to follow the following rule: walls and curtains should be chosen in the same tone. But, like all colors, it comes in warm and cool shades. The first ones go well with:
- yellow;
- carrot;
- pink;
- red.
And for cold weather, the ideal combination is with purple, golden, and wheat. A win-win option would be to play with contrast. For example, dark brown and white, orange, purple, green and turquoise, blue. But so that the room does not turn out to be too colorful, it is necessary to maintain proportions. That is, one quarter contrast and three quarters the main shade. And also do not combine more than 3 colors in a room.
If you want to achieve the most calm and peaceful style, then you can play with the tone of the curtains to match the brown wallpaper. Choose lighter, gray, beige or cream colors, adding a lambrequin or elegant edging. But the number of additional accessories is not recommended. There must be a “golden mean” in everything.
Beige
Beige curtains look good against the background of dark brown walls; they allow the color of the sun to pass through well. Therefore, this combination is successful in the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and decorated fabric with interesting paintings will appeal to children for a children's room. Many people think that such restraint looks boring, but it is not so. Monochrome can act as a canvas for displaying bright accents: furniture, decor, textiles.
The organic nature of the beige-brown tones is the basis of the classic style, but thanks to massive lambrequins, multi-layered fabric and playing with its texture, you can create a unique style. Which, moreover, will be very practical.
Greens
All shades of brown go well with green. Olive and pale green curtains made of chiffon, organza, and muslin are in harmony with the walls of chocolate, wenge and cocoa. But bottle-shaped, rich green curtains go well with brown walls in lighter, pastel colors.
A monochromatic wall covering can be diluted by decorating the window with curtains with discreet patterns: floral, abstract, geometric shapes, etc.
Blue
The combination of brown and heavenly always looks natural. Blue adds lightness, freshness, some coolness and light to a dark room in chocolate colors. A good solution would be to use this combination in a nursery or kitchen, especially if the windows face south. The blue color of curtains can smoothly transition to furniture, carpet, bedspread and pillows, supporting the overall idea of the interior.
Pink
All shades of this color can attract attention. And against the background of brown walls they look even brighter, diluting the restraint of the style. Pink curtains are an integral part of Provence and shabby chic. And they can even dilute industrial loft, classic and minimalism. Rich colors are suitable for active and creative people, and muted, pale shades of curtains are suitable for calm people.
Yellow
Yellow curtains always attract attention. They fill the room with warmth, light and positivity. If you want to pacify the interior, then you need to use double yellow curtains along with light tulle in the color of the floor covering. You can diversify the composition using fabric with patterns (striped, circles, flowers).
Purple
The combination of brown walls with purple curtains is mesmerizing. But you should be careful and not overdo it, as this combination can visually make even the most spacious room smaller. You can dilute the dark tones with ivory and beige furniture.
White
Light curtains enlarge the window opening, widen it and are universal, as they fit into any design. White curtains on brown walls compensate for the lack of light and add elegance and a certain luxury to the room. And if light transparent tulle is not enough, then you can add thick curtains with monograms.
Golden
Bronze and golden curtains are the basis of oriental style, Tiffany, art deco. The color smoothly transfers to textiles, frames of mirrors, lamps and picture frames. And in combination with brown, you get a rich, luxurious interior without unnecessary pomp.
Criteria for choosing curtains
By tradition, curtains should be one of the most expensive elements of the interior, so it is so important not to make a mistake with their choice. To enjoy the design of a room in brown tones for a long time, you need to study the nuances of curtain design in all shades of complex colors.
Black coffee, chocolate, cocoa, coffee with milk, caramel - all these “delicious” words define shades of brown. And then there are: terracotta, mocha and warm golden tones. Warm coffee shades will not always look good against the background of a cool “cocoa with milk” palette.
The overall style of the room influences the choice of curtain design. Brown tones are most often used to decorate classic interiors of spacious rooms. Therefore, the style of curtains should also be classic - straight canvases, complemented by a lambrequin, tiebacks, or without them.
The functionality and size of the windows also matter. A small kitchen has its own criteria for choosing curtains. There is no need for darkening, so you can limit yourself to short tulle sheets. Orange, yellow, beige or white curtains are suitable for brown wallpaper. Roller or Roman blinds with translucent canvases or opaque materials are very convenient (if the kitchen area is clearly visible from a crowded street or a nearby house opposite).
Interior style
Brown color has been popular since the Victorian era and is actively used in styles such as:
- classic;
- loft;
- Gothic;
- modern;
- Provence;
- rococo;
- minimalism;
- African;
- eco, etc.
Using the base dark color of the wallpaper, you can change the tone of the curtains and their design. Then the room will immediately sparkle with new colors and freshness will appear.
Classic interiors require gold thread, additional lambrequin, tassels and tiebacks. Curtains should be draped in complex ruffles; light tulle should be combined with heavy curtains. The window textiles of modern style and minimalism are distinguished by restraint; tulle and curtains are rarely used together, usually one or the other.
Art deco and hi-tech are characterized by blinds, Roman and roller blinds, complemented by curtains. If you need lightness, you just need to remove the thick curtain and leave a translucent veil.
Textiles for a sofa in brown tones
Textiles play an important role in how to properly furnish a sofa. The main thing is to use it tastefully when creating your interior. The right choice of sofa cushions is the key to success. Please note that there are a couple of nuances. Firstly, the colors should match the base, that is, not be flashy and harmoniously combine with the brown color.
Secondly, do not overdo it with the number of pillows: do not fill the entire sofa with them. Everything in moderation. And arrange them correctly - so that they emphasize the dignity and beauty of the sofa.
Curtains for brown furniture
When choosing the color of curtains for brown furniture, it is important to consider what kind of atmosphere you want to achieve. If the interior needs austere and restrained, then curtains are suitable in beige, cream, light gray, pale yellow shades. If you want to add warmth and comfort to the room, then choose curtains in green, blue, yellow, red, blue colors. And the tulle must remain white to balance the overall atmosphere.
Kitchen
The kitchen is probably the most active place in the house. Therefore, in this room you can afford a little contrast. Alternatively, dark brown furniture will harmonize well with red or burgundy kitchen cabinets. This combination will stand out well against the background of gray or light yellow walls.
A good complement to dark red cabinets would be blinds of the same color. In addition to yellow shades, you can choose other bright colors for walls - green, blue, orange.
If you decide to install furniture made of light wood in the kitchen, then in this case the color and style of your set will be best emphasized by brown walls.
The kitchen, like any other room, needs decoration. Single-color, simple shapes would be a great addition.
In the interior of the rooms
For each room, it is important to choose not only beautiful curtains in the right color scheme, but also practical ones.
In the living room or hall
In this part of the room, brown rarely covers part of the walls. Usually it is applied to the dominant wall to highlight niches, stucco molding or zoning space. The second color is warmer tones. Taking into account the texture and shade of the accent color, window textiles are selected.
For the living room, the color of the curtains in this case is light (beige, blue, cappuccino) with the simplest possible design. If the wallpaper is brown in cold tones, then the curtains should be chosen in delicate pastel shades.
For a light brown kitchen
Brown wallpaper in the kitchen is chosen in only 3 options, if it is country style, classic or hi-tech. And all three correspond to a strict type of window textile. Curtains for the kitchen are suitable in light pastel colors, made of practical fabric and with a minimum of decor. Embroidery, pleating and bright prints are of no use here.
Curtains for the kitchen should be practical. Therefore, Roman, short, French are well suited here. If the window faces the sunny side, then light tulle should be supplemented with blinds.
To the bedroom
Before choosing curtains for brown wallpaper in the bedroom, you need to consider several points:
- room area;
- amount of natural light;
- ceiling height;
- geometry.
For a small bedroom with dark walls, tulle in ivory, white, champagne, beige, and cream colors is suitable. In addition with thick curtains. If the ceilings are low, then a good option is vertical stripes on the fabric. If there is not enough space, you should not weigh down the window with textiles, no fringes, tassels or complex assemblies. And with a large room area, it is advisable to use a lambrequin or double multi-layer curtains.
To the children's room
For a nursery, you should not use dark brown wallpaper. A child will feel uncomfortable in such a room; it is better to choose lighter and warmer colors. It is better to choose a pastel wallpaper color, but with an emphasis on one wall. Curtains suitable beige, turquoise, yellow, pink combined with white tulle.
If the walls are plain, then a pattern on the window textiles is acceptable. For long-term relevance of the print, you need to use classic themes: vegetation, stripes, geometric shapes and abstractions.
In the office
This part of the room should calm and enhance concentration. If the walls in the room are a dark shade of brown with ornaments, then the curtains should be selected in plain and pastel colors. But bright accents will also come in handy: bottle, purple, blue, burgundy. If on the contrary, then curtains of peach, blue, yellow, turquoise with an unobtrusive pattern will do.
Much depends on the lighting and style of the room, as well as your own preferences. What designers advise is not always to the owner’s liking. But it’s the last person to live in such an interior.
Spectrum of curtain colors and its meaning
How to choose the color of curtains? No matter what advice fills your head when choosing curtains, you need to remember one very important detail. Curtains are a piece of furniture that you will have to look at every day, and therefore is it worth tormenting yourself with too toxic, bright shades, although preferences are the most important thing. After all, the decoration of any house is the state of mind of its owners, and therefore it is up to them to decide.
1. White curtains make the room appear larger and create a feeling of cleanliness and freshness. It is important to remember that too much whiteness is good for a hospital room, and therefore, if we are talking about a nursery, bedroom or kitchen, it is better to dilute the unbearable white with delicate pastel colors - pink, blue, magnolia or vanilla.
2. Yellow is the color of the sun, and therefore such curtains will definitely warm and illuminate any room with joyful emotions. Great African design styles start with yellow. Yellow is also good for children's kitchens. Solar curtains combined with the color of green grass are a natural combination that is incredibly calming. Orange and yellow are the colors of a summer sunset, they are very relaxing and set you up for dreams. Yellow and purple are a bright, contrasting combination. As with any contrast, you need to be careful with this combination and be able to maintain the balance of color. Visually there seems to be more yellow, and less purple, you don’t need to forget about this when choosing curtains.
3. Red curtains are an aggressive and very rich choice that is suitable for the kitchen, office and bright living room. Red is dangerous, very close to bad taste, and therefore you need to carefully approach this choice. It is better to complement it with related combinations - walnut, oak, mahogany shades. In combination with black - very carefully, you can turn a nice and cozy kitchen or bedroom into a hellish reception room in two movements. It is better to consult a designer for such an interior.
Colors that brown goes best with
As practice shows, almost all shades go well with warm brown. But you shouldn’t mix three or more colors in such a room - you’ll get an absurd, tasteless interior.
Blue and brown - a successful tandem
Furniture and textiles in a room with brown walls go well with curtains:
- White, cream, milky, beige and light gray. Curtains of these shades will be the most win-win option. Light curtains will add light and expand the space. Furniture made of expensive wood and light satin or silk curtains are a combination that will give the interior chic, solidity and respectability.
- Peach, pink and purple. It is best to choose curtains of these shades for a bedroom covered with light brown wallpaper. Gradient light curtains, on which delicate peach color smoothly flows into rich purple, will help create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.
- Orange, terracotta, burgundy. This color scheme will look great in a modern living room or room owned by an energetic teenager.
- Blue, turquoise, emerald, purple. A kitchen where the walls are brown and the furniture is white can be decorated with bright accents. A sea green or violet colored curtain will be just such an accent.
Types of curtains
