Color Ideas for Curtains in a Blue Livingroom

Yellow

• If your decor is country, Southwestern, French Country or retro, yellow adds light and warmth. With blue, this classic combination is cheerful and works well in kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms. For a Southwestern room with denim walls, you may want buttery yellow curtains. A mustard yellow goes well with a richer blue while a pale yellow looks good against sea blue.

Green

• Green adds energy and warmth to a blue room, which is a pleasing combination for a room with a masculine feel. If your walls are a dark blue, you may want to go with a light shade of green to keep the shades from blending together. Lime green invigorates and adds drama while pale shades of green go with denim, cobalt and periwinkle blue.

White

• Open up a blue living room with white window treatments. A safe combination, blue and white work with any style from modern to country. White linen looks pleasing in casual rooms while cotton blends look more formal. For a feminine aesthetic, hang lace curtains or curtains with ruffles. Simple white panels work with any decorating style.

Gray

• If you’re looking for a cool, neutral color to mix with your blue walls, choose gray; because it’s versatile, it goes with every shade of blue, ranging from midnight blue to sky blue. Use the same hue in your curtains that you have on your walls. For example, if your walls are a sky blue, you’ll want to hang curtains with light shades of gray. Slate gray works well with dark shades like deep blue.

Beige

• Beige is a versatile color because it matches any color of blue and goes with any decorating style. Look for light shades, such as tan or straw, to go with light hues of blue. Sand, taupe and caramel are darker shades of gray you might want to consider. Add a valance for a formal accent.
