Very concise and to the point video and i like the fact that your speech is neither too fast nor too slow. It is the best english video I've found regarding curtains tips. It covers the basics that a person should know before buying. I would really appreciate if you make a video on choosing curtains according to the colours of the wall. I have lime green wall in my bedroom and I'm confused about the colour of the curtain, i should go for.

Great video . I love the idea to first think of the mood we want to create . I’m often having a hard time finding videos that help with color choice for curtains though . I have an olive green couch and I don’t want beige , gray or blue or burgundy/ rust red curtains . I want a peaceful serene elegant look. ( if I had my way I’d have a different color couch but have had to work with a his hand me down olive green couch 😏). I’ve considered sage curtains but my walls are painted a beige with a green or sage hue it seems … depending on the lighting in the room ( was painted that color when we moved in and I’m afraid to paint it any other color because that in itself can be tricky lol . ) . I want sage curtains but I worry that’s way too much green in the room lol . I also don’t know if that will actually go with an olive green couch .
@tinahalle35756 ай бұрын
I can deal with gray , light blue or beige curtains if need be but I’ve tried beige before and it really looked so flat and weird against our light colored walls . That’s the only reason I’m afraid of the lighter version of those colors now . Just because light curtains seem to fade into the wall but dark curtains with our dark couch creates a mood I’m not going for in our home . I wish I could create light , airy, serene elegance with a touch of warmth with an olive green couch 🤔. I haven’t tried grays yet but trial and error tends to waste money we don’t really have.

I hear you! I would go with a warm white or possibly a pattern with some sage green that way you don't have to worry about colour matching. Let me know how it goes! Karla

Any suggestions for 3 large transom windows in a living room w/ 11.5ft ceilings? Privacy not an issue with no house in back so I initially thought just sheers, but another design video said that would not be enough to anchor the windows and sheers are only meant to be used with other curtains. Thoughts?
@KarlaDreyerDesign3 жыл бұрын
Hi Michele -- I think you can do sheers, I would just make sure to double up on the panel fabric so it seems substantial. You could also look at doing a linen/cotton blend which is sheer but has some weight to it as well. Hope that helps! Karla
