When combining your wardrobe, you take into account not only the style of clothing, but also all the details and accessories. This approach should also apply to the design of apartments. To make the interior look holistic and harmonious, you need to choose every little detail wisely.
Curtains are an integral decorative element of almost any living space, and by choosing them correctly you can not only perfectly complement the decor of the room, but also completely change the appearance of the room, betraying exactly those qualities that it lacks: expand or, conversely, narrow the space, make the room is lighter or darker.
The blue color in the interior evokes pleasant associations associated with the sky-blue sky and the endless expanses of the sea.
Psychologists say that most people associate this color with the sky, fresh air and sea, causing feelings of freedom, freshness, purity, lightness and tranquility.
Blue is the color of nature, so it is always pleasant to look at. In addition, it is a symbol of stability, confidence and success. This color helps you relax and calm down.
Therefore, such color solutions are considered the most fashionable trend and are used in the interior of a wide variety of styles: from classic and retro to high-tech.
Combination of curtains and wallpaper
According to professional designers, matching the shade of curtains to the color of the wallpaper is the most correct option. And do not strive to ensure that the tone of the wallpaper is exactly repeated in the design of the window openings. Let it be the same color, and let the tone be a little lighter or a little darker.
Darker or lighter curtains will suit blue walls.
So, for example, dusty blue or white-blue curtains would be an excellent complement to blue wallpaper.
The task becomes more complicated if the walls are decorated in blue and the furniture in the room is dark. Then the curtains are chosen more carefully. One very important rule applies here: in a light-dark interior (with light-colored walls and dark furniture), the color of the curtains should echo the shade of the furniture. Therefore, even with blue walls, in this case it is better to choose chocolate curtains. Such an interior will look stylish and cozy.
However, if you decide to focus on the window opening, even if you have dark furniture, choose blue curtains.
To accentuate the window opening, it is better to choose a blue color.
Beige
Beige curtains go well with dark brown wallpaper and let in light. In harmony with furniture or flooring, beige textiles look organic with other classic or bright colors.
Beige and brown colors are often found in interiors decorated in a classic style. Cocoa-colored curtains soften the darkness of the walls and will look good in a living room, bedroom or office.
To match warm yellow or light sand wallpaper in a children's room, you can choose beige curtains with cheerful pictures.
In the kitchen, this neutral and tasty color will also be appropriate and practical. When choosing curtains for the living room, pay attention to solemn, elegant compositions with lambrequins, textured or multi-layered fabrics.
Beige curtains will not necessarily blend with light brown walls, as evidenced by these photos. In a modern style, this will provide the necessary monochrome and create a background for bright details.
Material selection
The texture and thickness of the fabric does not greatly affect the perception of the interior as a whole, which means there is no need to worry too much.
The texture of the fabric can be absolutely any.
There are just a few criteria to pay attention to:
- To add luxury and nobility to the interior, choose velvet, jacquard or brocade for curtains.
- Tulle, organza, veil are ideal materials for creating a light, airy design. Perfect for decorating rooms in a romantic style.
- If your goal is sophistication and charm, then silk and chiffon curtains will become your reliable allies. Take into account the fact that such fabrics can change shade slightly, depending on the lighting and time of day.
- Linen, cotton and satin are indispensable for lovers of interiors in an eco-friendly style. The main thing is that not only curtains, but also other interior elements are environmentally friendly.

The most popular and universal are:
- Classic. Their distinctive feature is dense and heavy curtain fabric. They look best in spacious rooms and large window openings.
- Roman. They take up very little space compared to timeless classics. They have the shape of a rectangle and completely cover the window.
- Japanese. Very similar to Roman blinds, they differ in the presence of a weighting agent at the bottom of the canvas.
- French. Lots of folds and draperies - that's what it's all about. They look luxurious. Suitable for sophisticated interiors.
- Austrian. “Close relatives” of French curtains. They differ only in that the folds and draperies are located only in the lower part.
How to choose curtains for different wallpapers
Blue wallpaper can be either plain or with some kind of print. And in each case, the choice of wallpaper will be based on its own rules.
It is easier to choose curtains for plain wallpaper.
Wallpaper with a pattern
If your wallpaper has at least some kind of pattern, the situation with choosing curtains becomes more complicated. In this context, print matters. If it is not too bright or “striped,” then light curtains would be the ideal solution for windows.
Light curtains will go well with printed wallpaper.
If the wallpaper depicts flowers, then the most suitable option for curtains would be the same flowers, only a little larger. In this case, the interior receives completeness.
Curtains with larger flowers will match floral wallpaper.
Another good option for decorating window openings in rooms with wallpaper with ornaments is canvases with the same ornament, only on a different background. Then the room does not look monotonous and boring, style appears.
You can choose curtains with the same pattern on a different background.
Ornament
Bright textured wallpaper, so popular lately, “presents” its own requirements for the design of window openings. Designers recommend curtains of a brighter shade and with the same texture. Thus, a harmonious combination of color and stylistic direction appears in the room. It is also possible to avoid excessive brightness and unnecessary variegation in incorrectly placed accents.
For textured wallpaper, brighter curtains with the same texture are selected.
Using brown color in the interior
Brown is the most common color for the design of any premises (photo). Warm and noble color is used for:
- classic design of a respectable mansion,
- general concept for the decoration of expensive hotels,
- giving a business atmosphere to office premises,
- creating an atmosphere of comfort and peace in restaurant halls.
Brown living room design
Before covering the walls with wallpaper in brown shades, you should learn two key rules for using this color:
- brown is not a suitable color for decorating small rooms,
- in medium-sized rooms, it is necessary to dilute brown walls with a large amount of light decor: sofa cushions, bedspreads, carpeting, curtains.
Laconic combination of white and brown
Curtains for brown wallpaper are selected taking into account the style and design of the room:
- for classics, lush, light curtains in discreet and warm shades, for example, beige or mustard, are suitable,
- for a room in the “shabby chic” and “rococo” style, it is better to choose transparent curtains with pink and purple tints,
- for “high-tech” you can choose curtains of the same color as the wallpaper, but lighter or, on the contrary, a couple of shades darker.

Recommendations
It is worth noting that blue wallpaper is considered one of the most popular colors. Along with them, beige, lilac, pink and white are popular.
A few simple recommendations will allow you to harmoniously combine wallpaper and curtains.
- Blue plain wallpaper and blue curtains are a wonderful tandem. However, to prevent the design from looking boring, choose curtains with a pattern.
- If blue wallpaper with sparkles was used to decorate the walls, then curtains in blue tones should have sparkles in the design. Iridescent images are also acceptable. For example, a blue canvas with a golden pattern. But there is also a serious danger in such a print: make sure that the pattern does not look too pretentious and is not very noticeable. The most suitable option is thin threads, circles or other geometric shapes.
- In rooms with blue photo wallpapers, it is better to complement the interior with curtains in neutral colors. Since photo wallpapers are considered an accent in the interior and invariably draw attention to themselves, you should not use bright canvases or flashy ornaments for windows, otherwise a noticeable contradiction will appear in the design.
- The most suitable option for the bedroom is white or beige curtains combined with blue wallpaper. At the same time, remember that the blue color can be different, and when decorating a relaxation room it is better to give preference to discreet options, since a too saturated blue tint creates tension and activates brain activity.
So, blue color in the interior is stylish and cozy. The main thing is to choose the right shades and correctly combine curtains with wall decoration. And don’t be afraid to experiment: even if you’ve never decorated a room in this color scheme before, perhaps now is the time to try.
