    Instead of matching the curtains to the paint, or the furniture, instead think about how you want the room to feel. If you want the room to feel bright and airy and calm, then choose white or sheer curtains, with a white roman or rolling blind for privacy. If the look you want is one more of cozyness, then choose darker shades like burgundy, or brown for the curtains. But also consider the scale of the room. If it is a tiny room,long dark curtains might make it feel claustrophobic, especially if you have bulky dark or patterned furniture.

    This is how interior decorators plan out which window dressings to choose!

    The choices in brown shades are so many. If you have green or blue in the interior you may compliment with those shades. If the room is small best to keep the curtains light in weight and color. You might want to go with patterned curtains that will bring out the peach. It just takes matching up your wall color with different fabrics and shades. Go to a fabric store with your paint switch and get suggestions.

    Peach Sheer Curtains

  • 6 years ago

    While considering color scheme for you window curtain you have to consider the privacy needed in that particular room. If you want more privacy then you have to choose dark color for curtains. Nowadays contrast matching is also new trend so you can go for dark colors also. At the end totally it's your choice.

    Peach Colored Curtains

    You don't want to match wall color with curtains, that would take away from each other, but go with something like a beige, or cream color, to compliment the other, or you could go with a rust color. Im not an enterior decorater, but the colors I believe would work for you. Take a smear of the paint on paper, go to a fabri store, show them the wall color smear on paper, tell them what color your walls are, they can tell you ideas what to go with also. Hope my color pick helped in some way.

    I'd say that a really light purple would compliment the peach really well and thenyou could bring the same color into your pillows and accents around the room.

    It depends on the color of your furniture. Especially your largest piece which would be your sofa. If your sofa is multicolored, you should choose a matching color (not peach) for your curtains from your sofa colors. If your sofa is a solid color, and you have no multicolored pieces of furniture, I would suggest buying an area carpet, which contains all of your current colors and a few more. Then, choose one of the colors, other than peach, as a curtain color.

    Source(s): When furnishing my living room, I was initially confused as where to begin. I bought an area carpet which I loved and I furnished my home, painted my walls and put up curtains around the carpet. I also suggest in the future, painting an accent wall of maybe a darker color which is in your scheme already. Have fun and good luck.

    with peach walls you should go with either black couches od a really dark brown glossy furniture, it will bring the color out quit well. I have a light peach/orange color walls in my living room so the black couches really looks good, but the main color curtains you should worry about is light black or cherry red.

    sounds weird but it actually looks good!!
