Grey-yellow (mustard) curtains and turquoise accent pillows. I love grey and yellow combination.

I think a pastel grey and white patterned would look nice, or a lilac'y grey or just a pale lilac. Do you have the pink and lilac elsewhere or is it mainly grey?

Either silver grey or pick out some of the colour in your accessories such as a mauve. Everything in the room is quite plain so it might be nice to add a bit of pattern.

Your bedroom sounds pretty. I think with matching wallpaper and bed cover, why not try some floor to ceiling length white sheers with a white block out blind underneath for privacy. Maybe some silver and white gold and white patterned cushions for the bed.

What colour do you think works best with these curtains?

So, I decided on Elephants breath and here it is. I am really pleased with it. That’s the curtains on the bed ( until the paint dries). So, now for a duvet cover, cushions and throw. Any thoughts? The curtains have a creamy detail so not sure that white will work, and anyhow probably not practical with 2 dogs in the house!!

Love the view. I think 2 down the middle would look quite bulky. I think 1 long pole with a curtain either side is a really nice idea, especially if you put some pictures or something down the middle, making it into a kind of feature in the room. :)

What waste do I need to buy for this sink and vanity unit?
Q

Unslotted waste because there is no overflow hole. Choose one in a finish that matches your chosen taps. Bottle trap goes under the sink, in that space where they’ve shown folded towels and soaps. It will be visible so choose a nice one that matches your taps. The one in the picture clearly isn’t plumbed in. You will see there are two holes in the shelf which are to allow space for the bottle trap (if it hangs down that far) and the pipework to the taps - this pipework is also not shown in the picture. You may want to discuss with your builder/fitter/plumber how they plan to do the pipework so it looks ok. You can get decorative pipe collars in eg chrome effect that will look better than exposed copper pipe, or paint the pipes. Or you can get the pipes chased into the wall but that will be more expensive especially if it’s a solid wall.

I'd pull the pink, there is an article on houzz about working with pinks and how to incorporate them that may be helpful

I would choose white and trim them with a fine corresponding colour from your furniture, say an inch wide of the leading edge - always a very smart look

I would go with dusky pink as a good contrast.. Too much grey would be very dull

Pale lilac in a breezy fabric (you could always have white venetians or shutters too for light control). I'd pull a colour out of your artwork to tie the room together.

Just avoid beige or stone. I have a grey sofa and we bought very expensive mr fox curtains in stone. They just look dirty. Putting matching cushions helped, but now I've had to get rid of them. Just hated them more and more.

Yellow is great with grey.

Why not go with lime green, and accessorise with lime green cushions and perhaps a rug

I'd go with pastel blue if your keeping the pink in the pictures. I personally think burnt orange with the grey is a good look

Definitely dusky pink or dusky lilac - will look gorgeous with what you already have. However, if you want to change the whole room - I would still go dusky pink or dusky lilac - can't beat it with grey!

Team it with ash and the original grey of your sofa, or even a grey & soft pink print. Pink as like the one in the painting / picture above the sofa. How about ivory white and a dusky pink ??

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!

Congratulations! With that colour sofa you can change your home with your mood, just by swapping your accessories. Have you thought about putting up some white blinds or shutters instead of full curtains?
