Red Curtains

Red curtains are a bold statement and work best against restrained wall colours. White and cream walls are the most straightforward pairing. Warm beige or stone walls complement red without competing. For a dramatic scheme, red curtains against dark walls, charcoal, navy, or deep green, can look very striking. Red curtains have a long history in traditional and classical interiors and suit rooms with heritage character or period features.

Rich, deep reds, burgundy, wine, and crimson have remained popular in classic and traditional interiors and are seeing renewed interest as maximalist and heritage-inspired design trends gain momentum. In velvet fabric, red curtains look particularly luxurious and work especially well in dining rooms and living rooms where a warm, sociable atmosphere is the goal.
