Living-room curtains frame the window and connect the sofa, rug and wall palette. Choose size, texture and motif scale according to room proportions and daylight.
A high fitting can emphasise ceiling height, while extending the pole beyond the window can make it feel wider. Closing curtains need fullness; purely decorative side panels can be narrower.
A curtain may act as the accent with neutral seating. Where rugs and upholstery are already patterned, a quieter curtain gives the eye space to rest. Repeat one curtain colour in cushions or a runner.
Plan colour and measurements with our curtain guide and coordinate the room with cushion covers.

A correctly measured curtain fitted near the ceiling can strengthen the vertical line of the room.
Yes. Use a shared colour, vary the motif scale and keep other large surfaces quiet.
