What color curtains will go best with my red sofas?
Question by LizzieLiz ♥: What color curtains will go best with my red sofas?
I just moved into a studio apartment. I bought red sofas and my walls are painted a light yellow color. I have two big windows and I need window treatments because people driving by can see inside. What color curtains will go with my sofas? Or should I get blinds instead? Also should I get a rug? What color?

Curtains are “warmer” than blinds, so if you live in a cold climate you might want curtains. Since your walls are a light yellow, you might try matching the curtains to the walls; that should give your room a feeling of space as well. Yes, definitely, get a rug (unless you have beautiful hardwood floors!); a rug will help muffle sounds and provide a feeling of warmth and home. Your rug can pick up the colors in your curtains or your sofa, whichever you prefer. Good luck with your new apartment!

I think cream, navy blue or really light green curtains would go well with the other colors and i’ve always liked checkered rugs. 🙂
umm. maybe white, or something close to red.
for the rug? maybe black or white
I’d like to see a soft gray with your yellow walls & red sofas, so I hope you can find a rug with yellow, red & gray in it. (Check Penney’s website – tons of rugs) Your rug should be at least 5×7 in your seating area. You can do a layered look & add blinds underneath…that way you only need side panels of drapery or sheer (for softness) on a decorative rod. I would choose a natural woven roman shade in a warm yellow tone to add texture & blend with your yellow walls. Check Lowe’s for great prices on these.
