If you have a plain or neutral kitchen you can really have fun choosing some great kitchen curtains and using them as a starting point in your kitchen design and décor.
1. Decide whether to go for Warm or Cool Colors
If your kitchen is mainly white, black, grey or stainless steel then choose cool colors in your kitchen curtains – they are the bright pure shades as well as all shades of blue and purple as well as pure white, black and grey.
If your kitchen has been based on natural shades such as terracotta, wood, beiges and creams then you are looking at warmer colours – mustards, sandy shades, oranges, browns and dusky greens – nothing too sharp or bright even in the yellow and green ranges such as acid lemon or lime green.
2. Select a Fabric with a Pattern
Choose your curtain or curtain fabric to match the desired color range, style and mood of your kitchen. For best results make sure there are several colors or shades of a single color in the fabric.
If you want a contemporary look go for a modern plaid, multi-stripe or an abstract pattern. Floral is good for a country look. For a retro kitchen try and find curtains or fabric which would have been used in that era (even if it would not necessarily have been used in the kitchen).
3. Pick some Colors and Have Fun
Tie your kitchen design together by picking out two or three colors from the fabric for your kitchen accessories. Here are some ideas
- Upholster your kitchen chairs (or add some cushions) in a plain fabric to match one of your colors.
- Buy a large platter in one of those colors and leave it on display or put some matching china in a glass-fronted cabinet.
- Make sure your kitchen towels, apron and oven gloves coordinate too.
- Don’t just have everything matching in an unimaginative way (like having everything in red) – play with the colors in your curtains.
- Maybe use the same colorful fabric in a tablecloth and keep a (colored) jug of complimentary flowers on the table too.
- Hang some pictures on the walls in the general color theme too – though you may want to avoid hanging anything too expensive in a kitchen where steam and grease will eventually spoil it.
Once you get started I’m sure you will find lots of ways to coordinate your colors and you will often spot new items when you are not looking for them – try and carry a sample of the curtain fabric with you when you go out.
