Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 May 30, 2013 12:41 pm We've just painted our theatre room in Dulux Sea Elephant and now I'm struggling to choose a curtain colour. The carpet is a lighter brown and we have a dark brown leather modular lounge as well. I've put some old light brown jacquard curtains up as a temporary fix and they look okay but I'm wondering if it's all too brown? My husband really wants red velvet theatre style curtains but I'm not convinced, especially as the curtains will cover about 4m! Any suggestions gratefully received! Re: What colour curtains? 2May 30, 2013 7:59 pm Red and brown can look lovely together so I'd consider the red curtains. Otherwise, maybe gold tones? They can settle in with the browns but wouldn't be... so much brown. And if a certain someone still hankers after red, a little bit of red with the gold and brown would spark it up without being as overwhelming as having all the curtains in red. Or in a totally different direction, icy blues and/or green? Especially if you could find a pattern, say a brown abstract on an ice-blue background? If you have a minute, drop by somewhere like dollar-curtains or spotlight and spend a little time browsing their folders of fabric options for custom curtains. Take a photo of the room (Or have a picture on your phone) to look at to remind yourself while you are there and see if anything grabs you. Fabric comes in much more than plain colours.

Maybe I'll think more about the red curtains...guess he has to have his choice somewhere in the house, right?! Plus I can close the doors on that room if I really, really hate it! Re: What colour curtains? 4Jul 24, 2013 4:47 pm The best choice that you can have is to choose dark colors because they do not allow light entering into the room. For my personal theater room I am using curtains of blue color. But, in your case I would suggest golden color curtains. Red also a good choice but golden will match with all interior. Re: What colour curtains? 5Jul 29, 2013 11:01 pm Red is a great choice but a deep brown-toned purple (like an eggplant colour) would look good too. I couldn't personally stand 4 metres of gold curtains. Just my opinion. have you used any of the motorised curtain systems available from Ebay? Which one and how is it? 0 2431 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7157 Hi - thanks for your reply. Yes I think 'Ill go for whitish with very speckly bits rather than pure white something like this.
