Hi gals, probably more a question for the girls but I won't be discriminatory against the guys in case you have more of a clue than I do (which isn't hard on this topic).
Curtains!! Have never before thought about curtains, and quite frankly, never really wanted to but unfortunately, here I am having to think about colour, pattern etc. etc.
Putting curtains in the formal areas of the house and the bedrooms. My issue is colour of the curtains. I don't like florally patterns, more of a plain person with perhaps an embossed pattern in the material.
Our carpet is like a latte/coffee colour.... my original thought was cream curtains (hoping to get cream leather couches in that area) that way I can colour the room with statues and various pieces in bold colours.
I've been told however that if I want cream, I need to be prepared to dry clean them twice a year (which I know I won't do).
I never want to have to buy curtains again so I don't want to get the colour wrong - am I better off going a lighter colour which will match any furniture (which is far more likely to change than the curtains), or do I go a bold navy blue or something that also would go with just about anything.
I'm completely clueless in this area - I know it's a hard thing to help somebody with as it is all personal taste, but just a step in the right direction for what NOT to go for perhaps is going to more helpful than the knowledge I have now.
cheers folks
