No bedroom design is complete without a set of curtains. While the main function of a curtain is to provide privacy, it also adds a design element that can bring the finishing touch to any space. Whether you prefer neutral or colorful, solid or patterned, transparent or blackout, there are endless options for the functionality and aesthetics of curtains.
Install floor-to-ceiling curtains to make small spaces look bigger, or use them instead of painting the walls to add color. To help you make the most of your next bedroom makeover, we’re sharing our best bedroom curtain ideas.
Black and white are classic combinations for a reason, but neutral color schemes don’t have to be boring. Hang the striped curtains on a striking matte black rod to add some extra personality to a monochromatic bedroom. Mix it up with a plaid bed frame, blanket and pillow.
Any well-planned bedroom design contains a mix of patterns and textures to give a welcoming, cozy feel. To add more warmth to your bedroom, use intricately patterned, colorful curtains with textured bedding and area rugs to continue the look and feel.
Keeping the curtains the same color as the hanging wall can expand the area of a smaller bedroom. Here, rich jewel-toned blue walls provide a backdrop to match the curtains to keep the design seamless.
The light sage green and marigold color scheme can’t help but exude a joyful vibe in this bright bedroom. While you might think that the plank and slatted design is the accent wall in your bedroom, dark yellow accents steal the spotlight. Yellow patterned curtains pop up on the soft green walls, allowing sunlight to enter in a variety of ways.
High ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows get a royal treat in this white bedroom. These extra-long sheer curtains create a stunning focal point in this all-white oasis. Even in small spaces, gorgeous curtains can help brighten up a room and make it feel bigger.
Bring the outdoors indoors with bamboo curtains, wildlife art, and a cozy moss-green velvet bed frame. Here, beige curtains on gold poles help to blend the overall look together and add some softness to the space.
These pure white curtains are delicate and glamorous, with coral tassel trim adding a pop of personality. It’s perfect for a playful children’s bedroom or a calm guest room because it adds color without overwhelming the space.
Instead of focusing on curtains, try to install curtains around a four-poster bed. Hang the curtains on the edge of the queen bed frame to create a cocoon that will allow you to sleep soundly every night. Here, creamy curtains illuminate the rustic look created by the wooden wall panels.
Even if the ceiling isn’t as high as you’d like, you can draw your eye upwards with tall curtains. The trick is to place the rod about a foot from the top of the window and use a light-colored curtain that falls on the floor.
Consider choosing a matching pattern for your playful teen’s bedroom curtains and comforter. The purple pair of shoes stands out in a predominantly aqua green trim that balances the space.
Tradition doesn’t have to be boring. If you prefer a more classic bedroom design, add drama with oversized curtains, drapery, and hanging candelabra chandeliers. These dark blue curtains replace the painted walls and become the highlight of this room.
Lightweight pale pink curtains with ruffle detailing flank the plush headboard of this playful bedroom. If you want to use colored curtains that don’t take up space, consider using clear curtains that still allow plenty of light in.
Neutral bedroom furniture and walls are the perfect backdrop for bright pink patterned accessories in this eclectic bedroom. The fuchsia curtains are coordinated with the pink artwork and pillows, and the style is in line with the Barbie design trend.
Bamboo curtain rods are a standout in any neutral bedroom. To complete the look, pair it with bamboo curtains, linen curtains, and straw wallpaper for the ultimate natural beauty. In this fantastic room, the blue floral headboard stands out against a tan and cream background.
The pure white bedroom comes with brightly colored curtains for an unexpected upgrade. Plain pink curtains add a touch of femininity to this unisex bedroom. Colored curtains are a great choice for children’s rooms because they can be easily replaced with more mature colors as the child grows.
Mint, orange, and pink are a great fit for this eclectic space. This color combination creates a pleasant aesthetic, especially if paired correctly. The key to mixing non-traditional colors is to look for patterns that encompass all shades, even if they don’t match. Despite the drastically different patterns, the geometric headboard and floral curtains give a sense of cohesion.
Pure white curtains and bamboo curtains are not the main attraction of this minimalist bedroom. But they ground the space so that other amazing features, such as the intricate painted ceiling, would stand out. Don’t be afraid of layered curtains. While transparent curtains illuminate the space, they aren’t practical for privacy – that’s where bamboo curtains come in.
If maximalism is your go-to style, don’t stop at the curtains. Pair patterned curtains from floor to ceiling with matching paint tones for a bold look. Here, green and white floral fabrics blend perfectly with the sage green wall colour, bold yellow bedding and an impressive four-poster bed.
At first glance, this bedroom style looks neutral, but in reality a lot goes on in this space. Oversized purple bed frames, badge ceiling fans, and uniquely designed wall shapes stand out against the sepia and white patterned wallpaper. Soft, sturdy beige curtains soften busy spaces and bring all the design elements together to create a cohesive and creative feel.
