The Best Curtains For Reception Rooms


The Best Curtains For Reception Rooms


When you’re choosing curtains for the kids’ bedrooms and your other rooms upstairs, the only people you only really need to think about are the children and you and your partner. Few other people will see these curtains, unless you happen to have friends staying overnight.

However, when you’re deciding on your reception room curtains, these will definitely be seen by anyone who comes to visit your home, and while it’s not all about what other people think, it’s nice to choose a design of curtains that is pleasing to visitors in your home.

Depending on the style of your interior, it can be a good idea to have the same curtains in the living room and dining room. If you have an oak dining table and chairs, with a matching sideboard, you might want to choose a light colour for your curtains, to contrast with the wood.

In the living room, if you have a patterned fabric on the sofa, it’s a good idea to pick plain curtains, or perhaps curtains with a self-pattern in the same colour thread as the fabric. Bear in mind the cost of the sofa and the curtains, and whether you are likely to replace one or the other more frequently. If you like to change the look of the living room and dining room regularly, it can be easily achieved by putting up new curtains, even if you keep the same furniture.

If you’re not sure what kind of curtains would suit your reception rooms, look online at sites like Harveys Furniture on Twitter and pay attention to the combinations of colours and fabrics in different room sets for some ideas. Once you’ve narrowed down a few choices, you can always ask the retailer for swatches to take home so that you can see how the fabric looks in your rooms.
