Modern curtains add coziness to the bedroom and protect it from bright daylight. In addition, curtains play an important role in the bedroom interior. They form a single ensemble with the design of the room, made in the same style. Curtains can be the main accent or used as a background.

Blue curtains to match the color of the walls.
Despite the fact that the blue palette can easily get along with a wide variety of colors from the rainbow aspect, you should not go to extremes. Let's say, if the walls in the room are covered with bright scarlet wallpaper, and you suddenly want to set them off with blue curtains, it is better to abandon this idea, otherwise the whole situation will begin to put pressure on you psychologically within a day. In general, it is better to match blue curtains to calm shades of the walls, for example white, gray, beige, light blue.
The most successful tandem can be considered the white and blue palette. Thus, the walls can be white and the curtains pure blue or white and blue striped. It all depends on the style of the interior, for example, for a modern marine style, such striped curtains are ideal, but for a classic interior it is better to choose heavy curtains with lambrequins and decorative braid.
To imitate brickwork on the walls, you can purchase simple straight draperies with a slight shiny effect. These curtains will fit well into the fashionable Loft style.
Shade curtains combined in color are suitable for light blue walls, for example in dark blue, as well as in light blue.
Blue curtains will also look good against beige walls. Calm beige wallpaper will favorably set off the blue range of curtains, thereby creating a stylish and, most importantly, harmonious tandem.
On hot, sultry summer days, such blue draperies on the windows will come in handy. When closed, the sunlight passing through them will create a subtle cold glow, which means that such a visual perception will make the room feel cool.
Blue curtains to match the color of the accessories.
In order for the interior to seem harmonious and logically complete, it is necessary that the tone of the curtains be combined with something else in the room. Accessories can become such companions. For blue draperies, you can choose a blue bedspread, decorative pillows, floor carpet or bedside rugs, as well as various chandeliers, sconces, floor lamps, picture frames or paintings in a blue palette. Moreover, all these accessories do not have to be purely blue, even if they are partially complemented by some kind of light print. Let's say white monograms on blue lampshades of chandeliers or other lamps, as well as stripes, flowers or polka dots on blankets or pillows. The main thing is to choose a single print for all accessories, so the decorated room will look much more coherent and impressive.
Blue curtains to match the color of the furniture.
Blue furniture to match the textiles on the windows looks very beautiful, and at the same time harmonious and dignified. Blue curtains for the bedroom can go well with an interesting velvet headboard, as well as the upholstery of a bedside chaise longue, ottomans or chairs. But all the furniture in the room should not be purchased exclusively in blue, unless it is complemented with contrasting inserts - silver, white or golden.
Blue color in the interior is considered the most daring design solution.
By choosing blue curtains for a room in your own home, you will create the most cozy atmosphere in which you will feel light and comfortable.
It is worth noting the fact that it is the blue shade that is most in demand today.

Given the specific characteristics of the blue tone, designers use it to decorate any room. Photos of blue curtains show how to most profitably use the palette for the interior of your home.

Curtains, furniture and lighting - rules for harmonious combination
Correctly chosen curtains will help to visually expand the space of the room, make it lighter or, on the contrary, remove the already meager rays of the morning sun. In order not to make a mistake, you need to study photos of examples of beautiful curtains and then be guided in the selection process by the following rule: a bright and warm shade will add light, a fresh and cool color will help cope with excess sun.
Dark furniture
If you have dark furniture in your room and there is not enough light, it is best to highlight the window with light curtains, this will make the room much lighter. But curtains of darker colors are also acceptable, but this is if there is not a lot of dark wood furniture, and the room is light and large. It is important to choose the color of the curtains to match the tone of the walls and textiles; the color of the furniture does not matter.
Light furniture
Furniture in lighter colors will visually make the room feel wider. Curtains can be either dark or light, it all depends on the size of the room and lighting. In this case, the room will look harmonious. But some rooms look cozy when the interior combines contrasting colors (say, red and green, yellow and blue). When contrasting, it is important to play with shades.
Curtains in the color of the furniture
Sometimes furniture, walls and curtains are made of the same color and not even different textures. This is a very common and serious mistake. For example, a room can be entirely white, this is fashionable, but then the walls, curtains and upholstered furniture should be of different textures.
The same pattern will look strange on curtains, furniture and walls; the room will look like a closed box. You need to dilute the interior with another suitable color, make the curtains different, place contrasting sofa cushions. It is important to maintain a balance here: everything that is absolutely the same is bad, but what is different should look harmonious next to each other.

To choose beautiful curtains for your bedroom, you need to know what types they come in.
