Purple Curtains

Purple curtains work well against neutral walls that let the colour take prominence. Crisp white or warm cream walls are the most versatile backdrop. Soft grey walls can also complement purple beautifully, particularly for deeper plum or aubergine tones. For a romantic or maximalist feel, purple curtains against dusky pink or blush walls create a rich tonal scheme. Avoid pairing purple with yellow or orange walls unless you're intentionally going for strong colour contrast.

Purple curtains have had a resurgence in popularity, particularly in deeper, more sophisticated shades like plum, aubergine, and mauve. Lighter lavender shades have seen growing interest as part of the broader move towards softer, more romantic interiors. Purple in velvet is a particularly popular combination, creating a rich jewel-toned look that works well in living rooms and bedrooms.
