How should you think when choosing which color of curtains to have for white walls? Here we go through this and much more about color choices!
When it comes to choosing curtains, there is a whole host of colors to choose from. Of course, you should choose a color you like, but there are certain tips you can take into account to create a cozy and cozy feeling in the room.
Here we go through what you should think about and which color of curtains for white walls you should choose!
Choose the color of the curtain for white walls according to the conditions of the room. The big advantage of white walls is that curtains in basically all colors and patterns fit.
What you can instead think about when choosing which color of curtains for white walls you want is the conditions of the room. If the room is large and has a high ceiling, curtains in a warmer color can make the walls feel closer to each other and the room has a more cozy feeling. Smaller rooms can instead feel larger with curtains in light and cooler colors.
A hot tip is to choose neutral colors that go tone-on-tone with the white walls in the room. For example, beige and light gray can go well with white walls. What you need to keep in mind is that white refracts to either warm and cold so when you match the color of curtains with white walls, the color of the curtains may look different in pictures/curtain swatches than how you experience the curtains once you hang them.
Different colors are associated with certain values that can affect you and how you feel. For example, green is considered a calming color, while brown is associated with stability and security. Starting from the classic color theory can be good when you have to choose which color of curtains for white walls you should have.
The most important thing when it comes to which color of curtains you should choose for white walls and other furnishings is that you let the colors interact. The colors of the walls, floor, curtains and furniture need to be coordinated in order to create harmony and a cozy feeling in the room.
Choose the color of your curtains according to color theory:
● Green element – The color green is associated with nature and creates calm and harmony in the home. Therefore, green curtains fit well into all types of rooms.
● Blue element – The color blue is associated with sky and sea which calms the mind and helps you stay focused. Therefore, blue curtains fit well in the bedroom and office.
● Grey element – The color grey is a neutral color associated with trust and balance. Therefore, gray is a perfect color for curtains if you want to balance out the other colors in the interior.

How wide should the curtains be? Here we have collected a couple of frequently asked questions about the width of the curtain.

One of our curtain width is called single and the curtain is 150 cm wide, but when you hang the curtain on the rail it will extend and retract to:
WAVE CURTAIN
Extends to maximum 75-80cm and retracts to 20-30cm.PLEAT CURTAIN
Extends to maximum 90-100cm and retracts to 30-40cm.Single width is a good width of curtains when there is only a narrow part of the wall you want to cover, for example if it is a small room or an asymmetrical window that is close to the wall on one side.
If you have several windows next to each other, a single width can also be used to hang between the windows without there being too much fabric.
Our other curtain width is called double and the width of the curtain is 300 cm, but becomes approximately:
WAVE CURTAIN
Extends to maximum 150-160cm and retracts to 45-50cm.PLEAT CURTAIN
Extends to maximum 190-200cm and retracts to 65-75cm.Double witdh is a good width for curtains when you want to cover a lot of surface, for example if you want to cover an entire wall up to where the window begins. Then you may need several curtains of double width that you hang next to each other.
If you have large windows, it is especially important to choose wide curtains, otherwise the curtains can look too minimalistic in comparison.

Yes you can!
Not all rooms are symmetrical and have the same amount of wall on each side of the window. Sometimes you have more wall on one side and less wall on the other. Then it becomes most natural to combine curtain widths in a room. Then we recommend choosing double width on the side with more wall and single width on the side with less wall.
