selecting curtain fabric to match a nice tweed & leather sofa
Me You
9 years ago
I would like some help on curtain fabric that will match my sofa and room decor.
The sofa fabric is Harris Tweed Peat Herringbone, an image is here. http://www.tetrad.co.uk/products/taransay-sofa/
Here is a picture of the room with the sofa and chair.
I wanted cosy and warm feeling in the room if that helps, I had thought of Red curtains or a neutral tweed fabric but I don't know if they are good ideas or not.

Comments (30)I'm a bit confused. Do you have 2 windows to dress as the paint colour looks completely different in the pics unless that is the iPad?! I like the aubergine colours. The top and 5th in the 3rd pic and the 2nd one in the 4th pic although they don't have as much contrast on the amethyst wall if indeed it is an amethyst wall!...See MoreCurtain and interior design help please
Comments (44)Hello Lisamarie, Thank you very much! Well look at it like this, I offer up ideas I would do or consider but then you need to see what works for you and what you like, in my suggestions.. My advice is never impartial though as I am far too invested in what I do and love.. You do need to consider the furniture though but despite all these ideas your bright cushions will still add a really nice contrast.. What I was thinking, because I have this same experience... I painted the chimney breast only in grey.. I then painted the walls a cream colour, skirting in white. In your case it would be Wimborne for the walls and All White for the woodwork... ... I lived with it for a while but felt bored. It wasn't dramatic or characterful.. .. So I went on to paint the left wall where the window is and the opposite wall.. So 3 sides will now have dark grey 1 of the walls has an 8 ft by 6 ft mirror though the other is the chimney breast and the alcoves will be papered Oreste charcoal by Zoffany.. When I have got around to paying my pro-forma! ;) ..... (It's going to be a dark interior for the living room).. So I then painted all the window frames and windows black against the window panes and again a purple/grey colour I made for the frames, skirting, picture rail and architrave. It is coming along but not finished.. I have very little £ so I have to do things when I can.. Why not get some A4 paper and a few sample pots of nice chalky whites and creams, I do like pointing, also Shaded White and Clunch are really gr8 ... Stick some on the wall and some of the skirting colour on the skirting... You want to butt them up close together, so you can see them together... Look throughout the day at the changes. Duplicate the wall colours at eye level too.. so you can see at more height.. The room will look like a bad shave day! : ) ) Colours will change depending on the light.. choose a colour that is just a little creamier, so that if you want the woodwork white... you can still get a contrast.. Otherwise it will be white wall and woodwork and a downpipe chimney breast... So let's just say you went with some contrast... For Downpipe you could have Plummett or Manor house grey for the wood work... You could do the floor too.... Take these ideas and extend them to the other rooms... See what feels right.. Let me know what you think and if you get all that... and have more questions.. I just can't ever write a paragraph!! :))...See MoreHelp! I bought a sofa and am having doubts. Is this nice or vile?
Comments (71)Since you asked for honest opinions, I think that is the most awful sofa I have seen. You made a great decision to cancel your order. You may benefit from the help of a professional decorator to help you with this room....See MoreMatchy matchy curtains and sofa?
Comments (36)Carolina I think I saw that pic earlier today. It looks great but the piping involved isn't cheap. I live in an area where every day things get thrown out into the back lanes behind the terraces, so whatever I build will most likely involve a bit of skip ratting. The mirror above the fireplace was a back lane find....See More

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoI think I have mislead everyone by mistake, just realised the pictures have my tall bespoke display cabinet in an off white. My wife has convinced me to swap furniture so the white furniture will be moving into her lounge and I will get some lovely mahogany bits (small desk, console table, side table and nest of tables from her lounge, .). so with the furniture being dark I wonder if that alters peoples views on the choice of curtain fabric.
Soft greys and warm raspberry seem to be winning... here are a couple I have found.
Which one would look best with mahogany furniture and tweed sofa ? do you have any others you can suggest?
Many thanks to all those who have offered help.
