Choosing a curtain color can be tricky, but with a few design insights, you’ll find the perfect match for your walls—whether you're using linen curtains, velvet drapes, or custom blackout panels.
1. White Walls: Play with Contrast or Keep It Soft
White walls are a neutral backdrop—perfect for experimenting. Bold curtains like navy blue, burnt orange, or sage green add energy. For a peaceful atmosphere, go for linen curtains in beige or soft gray, or layered white sheer curtains.
Designer tip: Layering white sheers under blackout drapes gives you brightness by day and privacy by night.
2. Gray Walls: Warm Up or Cool Down the Tone
Gray walls are versatile. Add warmth with blush pink, mustard, or terracotta curtains. For a modern, moody feel, try darker tones like navy or charcoal drapes.
3. Neutral Walls (Beige/Taupe): Add Depth
Beige or taupe walls adapt well to richer tones. Try deep burgundy velvet drapes or mustard curtains for depth, or stick with white sheers or linen curtains for a light, airy feel.
4. Green Walls: Embrace Earthy Vibes

Green walls pair beautifully with neutral fabrics—cream or tan linen curtains create a serene space. For a richer ambiance, match with deeper green drapes or introduce soft contrast with blush pink or golden tones.
5. Dark Walls: Brighten the Mood
If your walls are deep shades like navy or charcoal, lighten up the space with white, cream, or light gray curtains. Textured fabrics like woven linen or velvet add depth without darkening the atmosphere.
6. Bold Walls: Keep Curtains Simple
Walls in bold colors—think terracotta or plum—work best with simple neutrals. Stick to beige, off-white, or light gray curtains. Or use curtains of the same color to achieve an overall harmonious and unified effect. A textured fabric gives style without competing visually.
Designer Pro Tips
- Always order fabric swatches—light changes perception.
- Pick curtain color after walls, rugs, and furniture.
- Texture matters—mix smooth walls with textured drapes, and vice versa.
