The Best Curtain Color To Make A Small Room Look Bigger
Although it may not come as a surprise, the curtain color almost every designer agrees on to make a room look bigger is a neutral shade such as white, cream, or beige – all shades that make it simple to choose curtains colors for any room, big or small.
‘For a more spacious feel in small rooms, embrace light and neutral tones like soft whites and gentle beiges,’ reflects Jing Ju, senior designer and global creative visual merchandising at Tiffany & Co.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING CURTAINS TO MAKE A SPACE FEEL BIGGER
It is not just certain curtain color mistakes that can have an impact on how big or small your rooms feel. In fact, your drapes’ material, pattern, and length all play a part too.
The final consideration is your curtains pattern. When picking sheer curtains, then you will likely be presented with plain fabrics – one of the safest choices when trying to make a small bedroom look bigger, or a small living room look bigger while also adding a calming element to the space.
FAQS
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE COLOR OF YOUR CURTAINS?
When picking curtains for your home, look first at your wall color. You can make your room look bigger by picking curtains that match your wall so that they blend in seamlessly, or you can make more of a statement by contrasting your curtains to your walls and picking a color that ties in with your furniture. Try to avoid picking a color that doesn't feature elsewhere in the room, to make sure they blend in seamlessly with your scheme.
SHOULD CURTAINS BE THE SAME COLOR IN EVERY ROOM?
Curtains do not have to be the same color in every room, especially if your decorating style and schemes vary slightly from room to room. Instead, opt for curtains that match what is in the room itself.
