1. Plush pink
Nicole Dohmen, Atelier ND Interior, designed the Amsterdam home of Carice van Houten & Guy Pearce with soft pink curtains from Elitis. The Kooij table in vibrant colors and the opulent couches give this room a lively yet luxurious feel.

2. Stripes sleek
Match the curtains’ pattern to the accessories and furniture in your living area for a cohesive appearance. In this living room designed by Ashley Whittaker thin striped drapes complement striped chairs with throw pillows that have a similar color and line combination.

3. Botanical detail
A vibrant botanical print will liven up your window–or wall, as Eliza Crater Harris did in her living-room, Chief Creative Officer of Sister Parish Design. These patterns are available in a variety of colors, including the Titania material shown here.

4. Semi-sheer whites
You can easily give your living room a bright, airy look by using sheer or semi-sheer curtains. This breezy treatment will soften the boundary between indoors and outdoor, as seen in the space designed by David Mann.

5. Watercolor effect
Consider getting simple abstract designs instead of solid colors. Ariene Bethea, a designer from North Carolina, incorporated blue and white drapes with what looked like watercolor paint brushstrokes. It’s interesting but not overwhelming.

6. Backdrop off-white
Designer Andrew Brown used off-white curtains to warm up the stark white walls of this Alabama house and its bold furniture. Place sleek bookcases in front of the curtains to make them double as a backdrop for enticing décor.

7. Linen in Teal and Gold
A colorful beach house can benefit from linen fabric curtains with gold and teal accents. Kevin Isbell, a designer from Nantucket, hung the curtains about one-fourth the way down inside the window frame to give the cottage owners some privacy and natural light.

8. Ombre
The smooth transition between colors in ombre curtains can add a pop of color to your living room without being overpowering. Peti Lau designed the curtains for this Los Angeles house that almost resemble a rushing water fall.

9. Soft Blue
The designer Heather Hilliard’s soft blue curtains add elegance to this room. They are set against the classic blue grasscloth wallpaper with white trim. The green lucite table and floral sofa are inspired by the natural surroundings of this Californian home.

10. Cream with fringe
The living room of this Bahamian house designed by Matthew Carter feels extra cozy with cream curtains and fringe trim. The room is given a tropical, yet elegant feel by the pale pink walls of Benjamin Moore’s Precocious.

11. Bright orange
Chenault James created this bold room for House Beautiful’s Whole Home 2019 with orange curtains and patterned trimming.

12. Heathered gray
The light gray curtains are the perfect backdrop to a stylish living room with sleek furniture, metallic accents and velvet. To add a unique touch, add a little checkered trim to the curtain ends.

13. Pure black
This room was designed by Thom Filicia and features black curtains that have a cream bottom trim. These curtains are perfect for creating a modern, moody look in any room.

14. Color Block
Why not choose both colors if you can’t decide between two? Color block designs allow you to use one color as the main color, and another color along with a smaller border at the top or bottom. This subtle option in a small room designed by Studio DB uses neutrals.

15. Cheery Red
Designer Phillip Thomas created a subtle effect in this Upper East Side apartment by using curtains that matched the walls. The curtains are bright red and perfectly match the walls, which were painted Benjamin Moore’s Ladybug Red in a high gloss finish. This gives them a softness.
