What colour curtains for a duck-egg blue painted sitting room?

[Olivetti]

I foolishly had the sitting room painted from magnolia to duck-egg blue without deciding on other furnishings! Anyone go any nice ideas for curtains? Thank you in advance!

cream or white background with duck egg pattern I'd say but then I'm a bit boring when it comes to decoration!

cream (with lining)

maybe a kind of subtle silver pattern on a light backgrounnd

Cream or to make more of a statement a mid-grey

Winter white,and take the upholstery and walls into account.

Cream or brown. I love duck egg blue with dark wood colours.

Thanks! My instincts say cream, but some people are suggesting CLARET! I can't see that myself. Any other colours?

Would you shoot me if I suggested a bright pink? Really bright, but only as an accent on a cream background. Alternatively chocolate brown.

Those are quite nice bran, thanks! Will certainly look at the rest of the website.

Pascha, no, I wouldn't shoot you! I have a completely open mind on this. Only one thing I am set on - am trying to banish brown, orange, earthy tones from sitting room.

Cream, taupe, gold, rich claret.

Which room is it? What's on the floor?

Don't do a dark colour: the overall effect will be far, far too dark unless you have massive windows. And even if you do: don't do claret - ye gods!

I'd do light silver grey with white, or cream with a greyish/greige motif.

Sitting room - plain floorboards, but also need a big rug. Swedes, would you say claret is more in the red or purple tones?

What shade of Duck Egg have you used? I've found it varies enormously

Cream is nice but it's a very summery look. I would want something richer for a sitting room. I think very plain long gold velvet curtains would look heavenly as would long claret curtains, like this sort of thing

Or perhaps a plaid curtian if your sofas are plani, something like this lovely frabric from Zoffany

bronze silk

I was thinking a big bold floral pattern could go well with duck-egg blue walls ?
WDYT ?

I had a duck egg room once, I had shocking pink velvet curtains and it was gorgeous!
Also lovely with chocolate brown

Anyway some sort of pattern, and agree with lighter cream shades over dark ones.

Ingles2 Sounds lovely.

Quite like the pink suggestion - but perhaps not too much of it

Anything pattern with a bit of duck egg in, or sandy coloured (darker than beige). You then need to tie the two together somehow.

was gorgeous swedes
I now have a really old house which only seems to suit various shades of sludge
apart from my room, which is still a turquoise colour

Have you seen the curtains on the Monsoon website?
