All about the design of a room with blue curtains

Features

Blue is traditionally associated with something calm, unhurried, large-scale. This is the air, the sky, the ocean depth, the surface of the lake. In psychology, it is believed that color cleanses thoughts, helps to concentrate, gives calmness and helps to relax. In the interior, blue-blue shades look elegant and expensive, they do not cheapen the space and form interesting combinations with other colors. At the same time, they are used infrequently in a large number in one room, because deep tones can cause a melancholic mood or even melancholy, and the cold of blue must necessarily be balanced with warmer and "cozy" colors.

Blue has dozens of different shades. For example:

Among them, you can choose a suitable option for any color scheme: light or dark, neutral or saturated. 

What to combine with

The combination of blue curtains with other elements of the palette can be built on different principles: monochrome, neutral base, contrasts and complex color combinations. In general, there are no frankly unsuccessful combinations with the blue color of the curtains. The main thing to remember about the color temperature.

With white and gray

White and gray are the two most versatile elements of the palette. The first one simply fits everything, and the second one has such a variety of shades that it will not be difficult to find the perfect one. By themselves, they are both quite cool, so the overall composition can turn out to be cold and even uncomfortable. This is especially true for blue curtains in a gray interior, such a palette needs to be diluted with light warm tones: for example, cream, ivory, coffee, wheat, etc. Olive green, terracotta, ochre, brick will suit from the brighter ones. In the design of the room, it is advisable to use wooden and soft textures, and for the curtains themselves, choose a matte fabric without a cold shine.

With beige and brown

Another classic combination of beige + blue in any variations. This couple always looks good together, as conceived by nature itself: the sea and sand, sky and earth evoke pleasant relaxing associations. Almost all shades of beige and brown belong to a neutral warm range, so they can be used as a base: for example, for wall decoration, facades or upholstery of large furniture. And textiles will just become an accent that will create the necessary contrast and refresh the interior.

With red and orange

Red and orange tones paired with blue-blue look bold and impressive due to the pronounced contrast. Since they are all quite bright and active in themselves, in such a combination you need to choose which of the accents will play the main role. If curtains, then their color can be repeated in other textiles, sofa or chair upholstery, large decor. It is better to take red and orange not in pure form, but to find a slightly muted deep shade that will not tire the eyes and overload the interior, even if used pointwise.

With blue and purple

In coloristics, combinations of neighboring elements of a color circle are called analog. They are not the easiest to implement, but they look very impressive and create a unique atmosphere: deep, enveloping, intriguing. They are best suited for a bedroom, boudoir, living room, although they can be used in any room. Purple is almost always used as a point accent: for example, in a drawing on wallpaper, decor or decorative pillows on a sofa. Blue-blue tones usually occupy about 30-40% of the palette. In addition to textiles, it can be a piece of decoration or a couple of pieces of furniture. The composition is complemented by 1-2 basic colors: white, light gray, brown, beige.

With yellow and green

Both yellow and green are often found in nature and look good with blue: the first due to the bright contrast, similar to a combination with red or orange, and the second on the principle of some kind of adjacency. The richer the shades you want to use, the smaller part of the palette they should occupy. For example, if the curtains are aquamarine or azure, then sunny yellow should also be used pointwise: for a plaid, carpet, a small pattern on wallpaper, one small piece of furniture, etc. Green can even act as a base if you choose the most neutral and muted option, diluted with white or gray.

Design options

In addition to the right shade, it is important to choose a design that will look relevant.

The color combinations and design of the curtains depend on the overall style of the room where you hang them:

Application in the interior

Let's look at how blue-blue curtains look in the interior of different rooms and what to follow when choosing textiles.

Kitchen

Most often, a calm palette is chosen for the kitchen, where warm or neutral tones prevail. They are very well diluted with more saturated and at the same time cool accents, including textiles. Color combinations and curtain designs depend on the overall style. Often blue-blue curtains complement the white or gray base. This option is good if the windows face south or east and there is enough sun in the room. Since the kitchen is already hot during cooking, a cold palette will cool the room a little. 

Blue curtains in the living room

The shade and material of curtains in the living room should be selected taking into account the initial data of the room.

If it is small or the windows face the north side, it is advisable not to darken the window. In this case, a loose fabric of heavenly, cornflower blue, steel, turquoise shade will do. If there is a lot of space and there is no shortage of sunlight, you can beat the opening differently and make it more contrasting with the walls. Consider beautiful complex tones: oceanic, stormy sky, blueberry, Prussian blue, etc. 

Accent textiles are especially appropriate if the room is filled with neutral furniture. So a gray sofa or a simple wooden dining table will play in a completely different way against the background of blue curtains. Since the living room is a ceremonial room, the window can be decorated in every possible way: hang a beautiful cornice, add velvet garters to the curtains, choose tulle with embroidery, etc.

Bedroom

In the bedroom, blue curtains will help to create a peaceful and secluded atmosphere. 

Any dark deep colors here are good for window textiles, because it protects better from the sun than, for example, light translucent curtains or tulle. The interior itself can be made in any color scheme. Most often these are basic paints: beige, gray, white. Curtains in this case are complemented by a couple more details to match: for example, bed linen, ottoman or headboard, paintings and other decor.

Childish

In the nursery, the same requirements are imposed on window textiles as for the bedroom: the openings should be well darkened during rest (especially if the child is small and sleeps during the day) and study (if the child is already studying).

Blue-blue tones are traditionally used in the design of a boy's room, but the color itself is gender-neutral, so it is also suitable for a girl's bedroom or children of different sexes. Adding deep restrained shades to the palette in general will be a good solution, because they have a beneficial effect on the child's psyche, help calm down and relax. The design of curtains can be any: both laconic (for example, the same plain curtains) and more cheerful, with colored patterns.
