Need honest opinion about curtains

F K
hace 4 años

I am in the process of finishing the reception area in my house and just put the curtains today. And i am second guessing myself and so overwhelmed because i feel that they do not go along my furniture at all, specially on the dining room area. They have a green undertone i didn’t expect, and feel they class with the light chairs in the dining room, and the gold color. I was thinking of adding another curtain panels on the sides lighter in color in order to make everything more cohesive. What do you think?

    I think the curtains look fine. Why don't you finish the room and style it with art, etc., then see how you feel. The messiness may be making you anxious about your decisions.

      I don't mind them. They may not be photographing true to color...but all in all i think they go. I would not be opposed to adding in the lighter zebra print as well.

      Or I wonder how it would look if you added a lighter color behind them in a similar material.

      I think the sheers need to be lighter and they also need to be fuller. If you added panels to the side, they'd look better if they were darker rather than lighter.

      The zebra print is for a couple of cushions for that couch. But i placed it as reference. Maybe sides in a color that would contrast and maybe tone down the curtains? I am not sure. I have second guessed on every single choice i have made in this house 😫

      Maybe the panels could be on a coordinating color that wont clash with the dining chairs?

      Just go with your gut and stop second guessing. It looks good so far!

      I do wanna lighten up the sheers but i do not know how. I cant change them anymore. I am hoping to get a rug that has a similar gray to balance all the elements together

      I agree they are dark. They remind me of a (nice) hotel room in Vegas. They’re not bad, but I’d go lighter.

      They were made to measure, so i cant return them. I need a solution to make them look lighter 😫

      Thanks to all of you for your input. I will definitely wait until the whole space is finished and then decide what to do

      I don‘t mind the drapes really. At my last house I bought some fairly expensive semi sheer grommet-type panels, embroidered cause I needed a bit of privacy. After they were hung, they looked nice but were not private enough. Easily fixed - I hung additional panels behind them, plain sheers. It was easy cause the Sheers were grommeted too, and the doubled panels looked great. You couldn’t even tell.

      Anyway, could you hang plain sheers behind yours? Maybe in a lighter color?

      I like the drapes alot. I just think it is the wall color that doesn’t work.

      The drapes are very pretty with your furniture. Wall color and lighting?

      Are these a metallic fabric? I know you probably spent a good deal on these as they are custom and if they are a metallic or shiny fabric it may appear a different color to you when the light hits it at certain times of the day. They will look much different during daytime. I think they are very nice and you may be overthinking it a bit. These kinds of fabrics can have an iridescence to them but that’s the beauty of it. You may not of noticed that from the fabric sample but now that it’s a full wall of drapes it’s very apparent!

      Put a white piece of cloth behind your drape and see what it looks like. If it changes the complexion then you might consider having them lined. You will loose the transparent quality of them though!

      They're fine, and good neutral.

      What I'm seeing is a lot of neutrals - which is not a bad thing! If you despise the new sheer drapes and money is not object, start over with something lighter- white or off-white. If you are trying to keep within a budget, work with what you have, and here is how:

      Keep in mind that 'the eye remembers'... meaning you need to repeat a color or variation of the same color for cohesiveness. I suggest adding a couple accent pieces with a hint of a similar shade of the 'gray green' of the drapes, such as a couple toss pillows, a centerpiece on the table, a lamp, even a plant that has foliage in the same gray-green shade, etc Even though they don't meet the vision you may have originally had in mind, they aren't a complete disaster. They do appear to hang beautifully, which makes me think they are well made.

      Hope this helps!

      From my point of view, they look fine as they are quiet and in the background. What matters is the room in its entirety, so proceed with the hints above and you may be very pleased with your choice.

      They are really well made, and in person hang beautifully. As a previous poster said, they do have a metallic sheen to it that makes them more like a taupe color when light hits in the right spot. I would have preferred to go with a lighter color, but i think with all of your suggestions i can make them work in the room. I have a travertine marble center table that actually matches them, so that is a start :)

      This an update on how we have furnished the room. We added some rugs to the space. (We placed the travertine top over a table so you have an idea of how it is going to look. I think the curtains blend somehow now. I am in doubt about the rugs though. Is it ok if i place one of them under the couches, while the second one it is not ?
      Thank you in advance for all of your help

      Looks like second rug is smaller. I would either pull chairs up to be on rug or get larger one. Room looks very elegant. Good job!

      Yes the rug near the gray armchair is smaller, couldn’t find the same size as the other one. I was thinking of moving the furniture closer to the rug so the size difference is not that noticeable, but i am not sure if it will work.

    • ashtonchic

      I would try switching the rugs, And pull the couches and chairs in a little closer.

      The sheers are done beautifully. I would create more cozy look with grouping of furniture with chairs. Put the smaller rug there and turn it lengthwise along sofa with front legs of sofa on the rug. Pull chairs closer but not overlapping arms of sofa. Do you plan a large painting behind sofa on that wall? If so, you might want to reorient furniture then. I don’t know what country you are in so there might be cultural norms you are sensitive to? Overall, you have spent a good deal of money here. Might be worth hiring a designer to help you finalize finishing touches and give you confidence and reassurance. Some pillows the color of your drapes will help integrate that color. Some pretty, softer arrangements on the coffee tables would enhance look. Going to be beautiful. Relax!
