Am looking at the grey colour charts at moment as need to decorate our study.

For those of you with grey schemes... what colour curtains do you have?

Would consider a fabric which contains some similar grey within its pattern but with a lighter colour as the main design. Perhaps the other colour could harmonise to some extent-blue springs to mind. Otherwise a real splash of colour. Sorry, not much help.

In the kitchen white roman blinds, in the snug a sort of dirty lilac (purplish grey) colour.

cream...very soft and flattering with the lighter greys...

I think texture really matters as well as colour for curtains.

I have floor-length grey curtains in a lighter grey bedroom, but it's a very soft dove grey and the fabric is quite heavy and ever so slightly shiny. Cost ££ but worth it!

I have light grey in 3 rooms. in my kitchen with orange curtains, my boys have grey with a white roman blind .... and in my room grey with dark charcoal grey curtains.

I was going to do grey with emerald green in the bathroom (which looks fab together) but though I had too many grey walls. so flooring went grey and walls went emerald Grin

cream and grey go well together too. good luck, grey has endless ideas!...

I have F&B Blackened in the bedroom, which is a light bluish gray, with purple curtains. It looks beautiful and restful in summer. In winter it gets a bit dour, and I cheer it up with light, bright bed linen.

Grey looks fabulous with most colours, doesn't it? I love it with yellow, orange or white.

Dulux polished pebble walls, and taupe & grey tartan check curtains, with pale taupe/gray carpet- dark wood mango furniute and silver and white accesories looks fab( I think!)

I have grey walls in the living room, and have cream based curtains with mauve and green floral patterns. We've got light grey sofas and purple and muted green accessories to tie it all in.
