I just moved into a new flat and my bedroom is still missing curtains, cushions and a bedspread. But which colour? I am not sure. Walls are French Gray by Farrow&Ball and all furniture is dark brown. Thanks!

What colour curtains do I buy
Comments (26)Hello, If I was you I would pick some light colour. With the grey you have you could get curtain in yellow, light blue, dusty pink. Why not mix and match colours? If you have some decoration or ornaments in your favourite colours, you could get your curtain in the same one. You also have to think which colours are your favourite, what is your style and personal taste. Good luck with your Project!

Comments (3)I'd go for brown bedside table! I think a grey bedspread could look great, and dark chocolatey bedside features could really give it the edge. Maybe something like this? You can work with or without the blue, though I think it does a lovely job of softening up the scheme....See MoreColour pop with cushions
Comments (2)I think a mixture of plain and patterned cushions in soft shades of grey, taupe and cream would look nice. You could add some black too to tie in with curtains....See MoreColour of furnishings with red tartan curtains?
Comments (25)I take it that you love these curtains as you want to base your entire scheme around them. Firstly as mentioned in previous comments they are too short, you can extend them by adding a solid colour material in the brown or reds found in the curtains, to make them floor length. You could also add the material to the leading edge of the curtains, to make the extension look less as an afterthought. Add a blind either in the same colour as the wall or pick one from the curtains. You pull the blind down rather than pull the curtains, as the curtains would block the radiator. Chose a thermal blind if you are worried about cold from the window or a thinner blind that will let light through if privacy is the issue. When choosing a sofa go for a neutral colour. Choose a good quality sofa that you sit comfortably in. A sofa is expensive and usually has to last several redecorations and reinventions of a room. A neutral colour would go with many different schemes and you would use cushions to dress up the sofa and tie in with the theme/ colour of the room. I would go with a dark cream (or soft brown) sofa as the room generally has warm colours. Grey can be cold and would detract from the room. (If you have found the perfect grey sofa - change the curtains…) The blue cushions don’t go well. You could choose green cushions as they are on the opposite side of the colour wheel, which would be quite energetic as they are contrasting, make sure you get the right green - if it doesn’t work - return it. It could be easier to choose a lighter or darker versions of the colours you have, which makes it calmer. If you choose similar colours different textures will make it interesting. Finally I would paint the walls to match the beige in the curtains (including the radiator to make it “disappear”), which would tie in better. It could initially seem dark, but wait to make final judgment until the room has been completely painted. Paint and cushions are an inexpensive way to update a room especially if other furniture don’t make huge statements....See More
