About perception: why choose beige color
On a subconscious level, beige, as an extreme expression of brown, is associated with nature. It is an indispensable component of natural landscapes, therefore it remains invisible and serves as a background for other shades.

Interior designers love beige for its versatility and ability to bring a feeling of softness and relaxation to environments. The perception of color changes depending on the illumination of the room: in bright light, beige surfaces look solemn and festive, and in twilight - mysterious.

Beige curtains also have disadvantages:
- It is difficult for a non-professional to assess how a particular shade will look in a finished interior, so it is often abandoned in favor of a more fashionable and less common tone.

Choosing a living room style for yellow curtains
The background is not the only stage in the formation of the interior; style is of paramount importance.
Fortunately, most of the moves have already been invented by designers, and all you have to do is take advantage of their ideas.
Classical
Classic is a very capricious style, where most of the modern features are unacceptable. Yellow curtains for the kitchen or living room are allowed, but always with a golden tint!
Don't forget about the form factor of the curtains. Natural classics welcomes:
- Long curtains to the floor. Yes, ceiling to floor curtains are recommended. Short ones will be too fake.
- Natural materials. Synthetic shine is undesirable. It is better to choose silk or cotton textiles.
- Simple ornament. As a rule, the classic ornament is strict, consisting of geometric shapes and simple painting.
It is not advisable to hang yellow curtains in the kitchen or bedroom - they are only appropriate in the living room or studio.
Provence and country
Both styles are provincial, therefore with an appropriate “country chic”. Yellow is required here, because... it breaks up the boring wooden design.
So that the curtains do not turn out to be superfluous, you should adhere to the canons:
- Length – not lower than the window sill. Better yet, use cafe-style curtains that cover half the window.
- Only natural materials. Cotton is recommended, but modern materials with a small addition of polyester or elastane are also suitable.
- Yellow must be complemented with ornaments. A typical “grandmother’s” pattern is appropriate here, i.e. flowers and berries.
Modern
Modern design does not impose strict limits on curtains. Any length, color temperature and ornament are appropriate here.
However, there are a few recommendations:
- Prefer complimentary colors. In this case, the color wheel (see above) will help you. Find the color of the curtains on the wheel - the required shade of the curtains will be on the opposite side.
- Choose a low intensity yellow. These include pastel shades, terracotta, mustard and others.
Fusion
Fusion, also known as mixed style, basically has no rules.
Colored porridge is also allowed, so you can combine yellow with anything. The same applies to the length and material of the curtains - there are no requirements for it.
The video presents design ideas that will help you decide on the style of yellow curtains for your living room.
Color combinations
Companion colors directly affect the perception of beige in the interior. To choose curtains for beige walls or choose the right shade of beige for window decoration, it is important to consider the influence of the rest of the palette. The following combinations will help make the interior stylish and memorable:
- With gray. Both colors are neutral. The use of predominantly these tones is typical for some styles (minimalism, Provence).

- Most often, this combination is chosen as a background for brighter details; black and brown are used for contrast. Gray-beige curtains in a bright room create a calm, cozy atmosphere.

- With brown. Proven and one of the favorite combinations for most styles. A natural beige-brown palette is the key to comfort in any room, but it looks especially attractive in the bedroom.

- Choose rich shades of brown and beige curtains if the room has dark brown furniture or a door. In other cases, it is better to stay with the light version.

- With white. This combination fills the room with light and visually expands it. In a room with bright snow-white walls, a balance of two colors is important. They should not merge, so use no more than three shades of beige.

Combining different types of curtains
Tulle and curtain
You can use the classic combination - thick curtains in front and tulle in the back.
Moreover, in this case, the curtains should be a rich yellow color. The tulle can be pastel or even white!
With lambrequin
Lambrequins are an extension of the curtains, so they should also be yellow! But you can play with shades and patterns.
Their shape should match the curtains: if the curtains are draped, then also decorate the lambrequins with folds.
Short and long
In this case, the short curtain is usually unbreakable.
You can decorate it with external long tulle. You should not combine thick curtains, because... the room will be too dark and uncomfortable.
Plain and with ornament
In this case, ornamental curtains must be hung in the foreground. It is desirable that the pattern has the same shade of yellow as the plain curtains at the back.
Please note that both curtains should be approximately the same length.

Bedroom
Large bedroom or small, beige curtains fit equally well in this room, regardless of its size. In all cases, the room will sparkle with airiness.
