As a soft furnishing, curtains are a great way to experiment with pattern and color in the home. For Annie Downing of Annie Downing Interiors, curtains are the perfect place to play with more vibrant, off-the-wall colors because they are, in their nature, changeable and can move with the seasons and trends - perfect for both homeowners and renters alike.
‘Being impermanent, drapery offers an amazing opportunity to get out of your color comfort zone.’ But at the same time, it's about striking the balance between something unexpected and colorful, without detracting from the purpose of the room as a relaxing space. 'Choosing the right colors for the bedroom is essential,' says Karen Frome, principal of Rise Projects. 'Avoid overly bright or electric colors and instead opt for soothing tones in all aspects of a bedroom.'
