Which curtains in grey living room? What do you have?

[SilverSixpence]

At the moment I am choosing between corale denim, plain duck egg chenille or plain white/grey. We have white sheer roller blinds and a dark raspberry pink and charcoal sofa. Tables, shelves etc will be white or possibly dark matte grey. Will be back with links!

duck egg

corale it's out of stock for 6 weeks though

Forgot to say rug is white and duck egg

In my pale grey dining room, I'm going for dark grey velvet curtains with mid grey silk blinds. I have a dark red ceiling & red artwork & white woodwork. Its quite bold but its a huge room with 3.3m high ceilings & huge windows so can take it.

I would try to tie the scheme together in yours so maybe pick out the charcoal in the sofa - if that doesn't make it too dark or go for the duck egg if it matches the rug. I like the Corale but I think it might be too timid if you have those colours on your sofa.

Ok thanks - this is the sofa btw. The room has high ceilings but isn't huge so don't want to overwhelm with too many colours - I do want to tie in the duck egg on the rug with something on the walls/curtains. Where are your curtains from?

Love the sofa it looks lovely & comfy. Sorry can't help with where to buy as I made my curtains & blinds - mainly because the quote I got for a 3m drop x 4m window width x 2 windows was completely ridiculous (think small car price territory)
I managed to get the fabric & lining for a decent price and then have spent hours sweating over a sewing machine.
Silk Living room ones are up and look great. Dining room needs to have the decorating finished then the velvet ones can go up.

I really like grey - yellow combination which is not on your list. I would go with pale primrose yellow chevron curtains.

Soundevenfruity I like it too but not with the pink maybe.. I LOVE the sofa but it does limit me a bit! I am going to look out for another fabric before i commit to anything.

We have putty/grey coloured velvet curtains. Probably no good if youre going for a velvet sofa as well!

I think velvet might not work for us - I might just get the white natural curtain company ones while I make up my mind as they have a good offer on

I think you need to be careful with such a statement piece as your sofa (its lovely by the way). I would definitely go with plain fabric and would go grey rather than duck egg blue.

We have gone with the grey / yellow combo previously mentioned - the yellow is a very limited accent colour in the floral curtains and a tiny bit in the cushions.

Mandy do you think grey would be ok with grey walls? Don't want it to be too matchy. I am having a wobble with the duck egg rug with the sofa but think we could tie it in with cushions, pictures etc

www.amazon.co.uk/Montgomery-Charcoal-Curtains-Available-different/dp/B0063CQOLS I have these and I love them.

I think its all down to personal taste but yes, I would say grey in a darker shade than your walls. I'm not sure to be honest of duck egg with bright pink but thats because I'm a quite matchy - we've limited our colour scheme to grey, beige & yellow (with oak furniture & white woodwork).

What do you all think of this? It's bold but would work well I think. I bought some for another room but am liking it with the raspberry!

I would match raspberry with washed out chartreuse or better chartreuse design on white (ish) background.

If you scroll down here y will see how chartreuse looks with other bright colours: www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4533597/list/Color-Guide--How-to-Work-With-Chartreuse

i'm all about the chartreuse

I think a grey and white stripe would work better. Either a chevron if you can find it, or a ticking stripe.

You can't add chartreuse to a room with a pink sofa and a duck egg rug! Imagine it on hangover days!

Mairzy agreed!

I have looked at hundreds of fabric swatches now, I just want something fairly understated but stylish eg silver/charcoal/aqua geometric or floral pattern but not finding anything. Did find some lovely Harlequin curtain trimmings in raspberry but not really essential

I love duck egg and string pink together and I think the grey walls will just serve as a lovely backdrop to them both. I would def try & find something in duck egg print for your curtains as your sofa is bold but plain. Don't play too safe it just ends up boring!

I think that would look quite nice, you don't need a lot of colour:
