10 Living Room Curtain Designs That'll Instantly Refresh Your Home

Probably the most basic, as well as the most in-demand are dimout curtains. These curtains can block 100% sunlight, making them a great pick for your bedroom and living room. People usually tend to pick solid colours when it comes to these so that they remain versatile and can be re-used with all types of aesthetics and this Urban Space curtain is perfect for it!

A cream palette is a popular choice to bring a sense of calmness and warmth to your room. We recommend this one for modern homes with high ceilings and symmetrical furniture to give the illusion of openness to the space and would also make the rest of the furniture stand out. If you're someone who opts for vibrant and unique home decor pieces then consider this Story@Home's Jacquard cream curtain as your next buy.

Silk curtains are perfect for adding a touch of elegance and a regal aesthetic. In all honesty, silk is high-maintenance, as it can only be dry-cleaned and is susceptible to sun damage; therefore, it's better to layer it with another curtain. Nevertheless, it's a timeless fabric that adds an elegant touch to your living room. This Deco Window Silk Route curtain is perfect to elevate any living room space.

Textured metallics are perfect for a contemporary living space. They strike a balance between gaudy glitter and elegant sophistication. Not to forget, the slight shimmer tends to lightly reflect the light, brightening up any space. We suggest opting for this design if your living room features predominantly gold, silver, and brass tones.

Neutral-textured sheers are a great design choice if you are looking for curtains that allow some light to come through. They come in all kinds of prints and patterns –floral, geometrical, abstract– and look super cottagecore-rooted with windows that open to big front lawns or gorgeous views. This coppery, sheer, textured design is our absolute favourite; it looks super chic and has a beautiful fall.

This idea for decorating your windows has been around for years. If you have a lot of traditional furniture, such as rattan and brass, and multiple large windows, then traditional bamboo blinds will enhance the look of your living room. The earthy colour lends warmth to the room without overpowering it.

You can never go wrong with a classic flower-patterned curtain for your living room. Our dadis and nanis have used them for ages, and it's only fair to give them some credit and space in our living room.

The best part is that it comes in six different shades, allowing you to select the one that best suits your style, decor, and furniture.

There is more than one reason to go for striped curtains for your living room: a) they add visual interest and personality, b) they complement various design styles, and c) they can optically alter the room's dimensions. Additionally, they have a timeless appeal that brightens a space, providing a classic yet modern look without being overwhelming.

Velvet instantly spells richness, and velvet curtains can take your living room from ordinary to opulent in no time. If you want to look like you're on a movie set, consider picking a velvet curtain for this festive season. Their soft, heavy drape adds warmth, texture, and a touch of drama, making it a perfect choice for your castlecore aesthetic. This Stoa Paris velvet curtain is ideal to begin with, as its light colour will complement any space.

While they may not be a popular choice, sheer curtains with a touch of coquette detailing add charm to a living room better than you might expect. They're light, breezy and oh-so-romantic. Plus, they let the soft sunlight stream in. If that doesn't convince you, consider the fact that they instantly make a room feel more spacious and calm.
