I have black furniture and bought gold colored curtains but I'm not feeling it since the furniture is dark.Do you think I should get a more subtle taupe which would match the walls more, a dark chocolate or keep the new ones?
You're right about the curtains blending in too much with your walls...and thanks for a picture, it makes things so much easier! LOL Here are a couple of suggestions. I think the curtain rod is a big problem since it's white. Spray paint is my best friend, and I've spray painted many a curtain rod that was on major markdown at Lowe's and Walmart that was a design I liked, but in a butt ugly color (most likely reason it was marked down so much! LOL) I would spray paint your curtain rod a matte black, NOT shiny, and that would pick up the black metal of the lamp you have in the picture. As for the color of your curtains, and because I saw a teeny, tiny glimpse of a black leather chair or couch, I think I would stay away from that swiss dot looking pattern on the curtain and go for something solid and a woven and add maybe bands of color by purchasing wide bias tape, or creating a wider band of color and either sew or iron that on. Like a wide band of black with a band or two of deep cocoa brown in two different widths. Play around with it a bit and see what you like. If you decide to sew a band insert, you can hang the curtains higher for a more dramatic effect. Also, for that size of window, you really need more fullness. You might want to buy a couple additional panels. Hope this helps and I hope that you have a link as to what you decide on. Have fun
I think that if you added some darker sheers to the center of what you have it could work or alternate them with sheers. Like 4 panels for fullness.
hmmm yea i would definitely go with darker curtains dark chocolate or black would be even better cuz it would match the furniture.
