Plain curtains are curtains made in a single, solid colour without pattern or print. They're the most versatile curtain option as they work with any interior style, colour scheme, or window shape, and allow other elements in the room, wallpaper, soft furnishings and furniture to take prominence. Plain curtains can be lined or unlined, and are available in every fabric type from linen and velvet to voile. They suit both contemporary minimalist spaces and more traditional interiors.
Plain curtains remain the most widely chosen option in UK homes precisely because they're so adaptable. They never go out of style, as they take their character from the fabric texture and colour rather than a pattern that can date. In contemporary interiors, plain curtains in linen, velvet, or boucle look particularly strong, the texture of the fabric does the work that pattern might do in other schemes. Plain curtains in a considered, on-trend colour are one of the most reliable and long-lasting interior choices you can make.
