What color should I have for drapes?
I am trying to find drapes, or even fabric to make my own drapes, but I can't decide on what color to pick. Three of the bedroom walls are lavender and the fourth wall is a deep/dark purple, and I have aqua accents (lamps, throw pillows, etc.). I have two windows on a lavender wall and one window on the dark purple wall ... any ideas of which color to have the drapes??
Also, should I have cellular/honeycomb shades, light bamboo shades, or no shades at all under the drapes??
Eagle Eye - I just have to say that the first picture that you posted (the purple, aqua, and brown) is in my "saved" pictures of rooms I love! You are right on! Now it's just trying to find that fabric or specific drapes!
The colors this year are silver/grey and purple so you are in style , if you get lamps get them in brushed chrome finish and the ssplashof tTurqoisewill look good with the purple ,lLavenderand grey , you could also introduce a tiny bit of white like a flower for example. I will try to find a picture for you so keep looking at my answer for an up date

now in regard of the window if you have a lot of sunlight coming in during the day and also need privacy you are best to put up some blinds , the kind all depends on your budget , if you get Venitians they are not as expensive , keep them white this way if later on you decide to repaint your room you wont need to change the blinds as well . I will now look for some fabric for you , I shall be back soon !

I have found some sheer panels if you like them you could combine 1, 2 or 3 colours together to obtain a prper fullness .
