With a quick scroll through Instagram you'll find inspiration for colors other than beige, white or gray is lacking. What if your style doesn't match what's on Pinterest or the ‘gram? We are taking the time now to help you address room design for walls that are pink, green, or blue to help you find the right curtains and bring balance to your space.

1. Pairing Curtains with Pink Walls
Pink walls evoke warmth and playfulness. Whether it's a subtle blush tone or a deep magenta, you’ll want to ensure that the curtains in your room either complement the softness, or offer a bold contrast to avoid color overload.
Curtain Color Ideas:
Soft Neutrals: A safe choice for pink walls is the TWOPAGES' Kyla Greyish Beige Curtains. The neutral tone won’t compete with pink but will instead create a soothing, balanced atmosphere.
For a modern, sophisticated touch, try TWOPAGES' Coral Curtains or Cashmere Velvet Birkin Drapes (below). These colors will complement a muted shade of pink and keep the space from feeling overly sweet.
Contrasting Colors and Prints: If you’re feeling bold, go for TWOPAGES' Birkin Sapphire Blue Velvet Curtains. The rich, deep blue contrasts a peachy pink for a chic, fresh, contemporary look without overwhelming the room.
If you're feeling a subtle print is more suitable for the room check out TWOPAGES Stefana Silber line in the patterns Block Print Khaki Beige, or Large Block Print in Pink.
Pro Tips: If your pink walls are lighter, such as blush or pastel, avoid curtains in overly saturated colors as they might clash. When considering fabric color, also consider the opacity of the material for the purpose of the room.
2. Pairing Curtains with Green Walls
Green walls, whether they are soft sage or deep emerald, give rooms a refreshing, organic feel. Green is currently on trend as earthy colors emerge again in the interior design world. The color is versatile, allowing for a variety of curtain options. Think about whether you're wanting to emphasize nature-inspired calm or infuse mood into the room when making design decisions for your space.
Curtain Color Ideas:
Whites and Creams: Classic and timeless,TWOPAGES' Scandina Solid Voile Sheer Pleated White Curtains offer an airy feel that works beautifully with green walls. They lighten up the space and make it feel more expansive.
Earth Tones: Enhance the natural vibes of green walls by using TWOPAGES' Stefana Silber collection with patterns like Windowpane White Beige (seen with the Vogue Green paint swatch), or Double Windowpane Sepia (with Conifer Green paint swatch). These earth tones blend seamlessly with green, making the room feel like an extension of the outdoors. These would be a great option when designing a boy’s room. Another great color option is the Teal velvet from the TWOPAGES Birkin line for subtle softness (seen next to the purple velvet curtains fabric below).
Contrast: For a more opulent look, TWOPAGES' Birkin Velvet Curtains can create a sophisticated contrast with brighter green walls in the color Purple. This combination is perfect for more formal spaces, or those made for grabbing attention. (Hello, fun airbnb inspo idea!)
Pro Tip: With green walls, avoid overly vibrant reds or oranges UNLESS you're aiming for a bold, eclectic design.
3. Pairing Curtains with Blue Walls
Blue walls, whether powdery or rich midnight navy, bring a calming and serene atmosphere to any room. The challenge here is finding curtain colors that compliment the blue while still adding interest and texture to the space.
Curtain Color Ideas:
Light Greys or Silvers: For a cool, monochromatic look, TWOPAGES' Liz Curtains in the color Fog work perfectly with blue walls. These shades create a harmonious, soothing vibe, ideal for bedrooms or living rooms.
Monochrome Tones: Compliment blue’s calmness with TWOPAGES' Kyla Deep Blue Curtain, or try the color Midnight from the Jawara collection (bottom sample). This darker color adds a nice compliment without clashing and works especially well if your blue walls have grey or slate undertones.
White or Subtle Patterns: If you want to keep things light and airy, opt for TWOPAGES' Tia White Curtains, or try their minimalist patterns in Stefana Silber’s line in the Wide Stripe gray pattern. The subtle pattern can add texture to a room with blue walls while keeping the space feeling fresh.
Pro Tip: With blue or dark green walls, darker curtain colors such as black can make the room feel smaller or more enclosed so use that to your advantage to bring the walls in, or lean toward lighter colors if you're wanting to expand the space.
Final Thoughts
Pairing the right curtain with wall color requires a balance of boldness and harmony. Curtains can completely change the mood of a room and polish off a space.
