I am so rubbish at this... if you had a living room with cream walls and wooden floors and brown leather sofas, what colour...

[emkana]

... curtains would you go for?

I have oak floor, brown leather sofas, cream walls and LIME GREEN curtains and cushions.
Beige/ brown curtains could be a bit wishy washy IMO.
Bot I like COLOUR

have put a pic of mine on profile, the lights abit rubbish tho

Which way does the room face? Is the room modern or traditional? Is the room draughty? Will the curtains be floor length. Any chance of a photo of the room?

and it hasnt worked!

I've got the same colours as you went for burnt orange and dark lime green accent colours.

I have the same colours. I go for cream urtains in summer and chocolate brown taffeta in the winter.

I have a light wooden floor 3 darkish cream walls, chocolate and cream settee, I did my feature wall in teal, and have brought that colour in with assesories (sp)

Eer, you change your curtains to match the season??

Deep Red is gorgeous, I would have it myself, but my bedroom is deep red.

what do you think, any good?

The room is quite long and fairly modern, and relatively dark.

Where do you buy your curtains from?

if the room is quite dark might the red be too dark?
we got ours from bhs, they had good selection also debenhams had quite alot

Lol actually that sounded more impresive than the reality. We had thinner cream curtains and I bought new ones last hristmas, kept the old ones thinking i'd put them up in the summer but we never did.

Thats alright then Its enough effort for me just changing the tog ratings on duvets in winter and summer, let alone anything else

if room is modernish then those curtains aren't.... think they're frumpy tbh.

oi everyone, stop talking amongst yourselves and comment on my links will ya

Really? Even the second one?

I had mine made in Dunelm. Werent very expensive and are lovley quality for the money.

they do look abit shiny

Oh, I thought shiny was good!
