what color and pattern drapes or valances for this room?
room to be painted kilim beige like on HGTV dream home last year.chair rails,moulding,doors glossy white.celing .....there is a brown leather sofa (not chocolate) and 2 leather recliners.A black tv with black tv stand and a black curio clock cabinet with glass shelves.Want to hang family pictures matted in frames.I think I need a patterned traditional type curtain but I don't have any idea.for the color or patern since the room has traditional furniture.also what color frames would I use.Most now are chocolate and black and should the matting be white or beige.I want the room warm.There a two large windows in the room side by side.Thanks to all in advance
I thought about the faux wood white blinds from pennys and a valance cause I cannot afford the expensive ones and they have good reviews and cost 33 dollars each.
Ant Boni's advice is excellent but I know I am not a fan of orange. You can go with any color you choose as long as it's COLOR. What you are describing sounds beautiful but what will warm it up is color.
Choose an area rug with some reds, blues &/or greens (it can have shades of browns &/or golds too) then add some simple curtains in one of those shades. It does not have to be an exact match & can be lighter. You can use a a muted stripe or any muted print you like or go with a solid color. I like stripes because they make the room appear higher.
You certainly can use the black &/or chocolate frames. As far as the matting goes, that really needs to be done according to each photo. The matting should compliment each photo/ frame combination. Take the photos with you & see what mats look best with them. You can use any neutral color you choose- black, brown, beige, gray or anything in between.
As a finishing touch add something else to bring out the color in the rug. A few candles are good or a vase....use your imagination.
Good luck!
