Shades of green

The first thing to consider when choosing drapes is the shade of green that is present on your walls.

Deep shades of green - sea green, jade, olive, mustard - are used for the accent part of the room. In order not to interrupt the main decorative element, choose curtains that do not attract attention. You can choose snow-white tulle, ivory or curtains in a light beige tone.

Rich natural shades of green, such as chartreuse, bright lime can be combined with bright yellow, aqua, and snow-white. These combinations can be found in pin-up, pop art and Mexican styles.

Pistachio wallpaper is suitable for the tender romance of a bedroom. In this case, shades of apple or mint are best combined with neutral pastel tones.

White

This color is held in high esteem by designers for good reason. Shades of white are associated with positive concepts - purity, lightness, openness and the beginning of something new. However, if not handled correctly, white brings back memories of hospital interiors, lifelessness and outright boredom.

To prevent a negative impression, the white interior is successfully complemented with a color accent. With the addition of blue, rich green or yellow, the interior decoration takes on some kind of freshness. Green curtains and snow-white wallpaper evoke memories of the south and the sea; this combination is perfect for the Mediterranean style. White with a gradation of gray is characteristic of the Scandinavian style.

Harmonious combinations with the base color

There are no strict limits for purchasing curtains for green wallpaper, but not every combination will be successful. Curtains for green wallpaper can be selected in the following tones:

1. White tone. This window frame will suit green wallpaper, but you need to choose the right shades to achieve a harmonious result. A cool palette will contrast sharply, giving additional volume to the room, while a warm tone will add softness to the design and have a calming effect.
2. Sunny and wheat shades. Correctly chosen curtains of this tone will add sunlight to the room. When choosing, keep in mind that contrasting curtains may match a softer and more neutral shade of wallpaper. The same rule applies in the opposite direction.
3. From one palette of green. A universal solution in which it is almost impossible to make mistakes. This natural combination creates a feeling of harmony and comfort in the room. You can choose tones and their saturation based on your preferences.
4. Cornflowers. This tone will add coolness and freshness to the room. It will look especially good in a brightly lit room. Choose curtains made from lightweight materials.
5. Blue. This color can be combined with a green coating, but the contrast is too bright, which quickly tires the eyes.
6. Black wallpaper. A deep tone, when combined correctly with green, can add freshness to a room. This palette is chosen when you plan to create an interior in a minimalist style.
7. Shades of red. This tone can be combined with pistachio and apple shades. To make the composition harmonious, you need to add accessories of the same color as the curtains.
8. Pink color. Like red ones, they should be used in combination with decorative items.
9. Golden, silver. Successfully complement the green palette. You can use any shades.

Pros and cons of color

Fans and supporters of the color green emphasize its beneficial effects on the human body. In particular, they claim that it promotes:

• lowering blood pressure;
• maintaining the quality of vision;
• relieving nervous tension;
• treatment of colds and wound healing;
• reduction of headaches;
• eliminating wrinkles.

Some of these statements are quite controversial. But, nevertheless, green wallpaper, curtains, drapes or upholstery fabrics have been popular for many centuries.

At the same time, there are sometimes references to the negative effects of the color green. Its excess can cause:

• apathy and decreased vital activity;
• increased secretion of bile, which can lead to imbalance in the body and progression of gallstone disease;
• attacks of envy and laziness.

Additional Information . Psychologists who have developed a whole area - color therapy, assign the leading role to green in relieving fatigue, treating stress, and neutralizing negative emotions. The principles of color therapy are widely used today in organizing living space in preschool institutions, and green tones are a must in kindergartens or nursery groups.

Criterias of choice

The curtain material is selected last, when the furniture, floor and wall coverings have already been selected. There are several selection criteria:

1. To add volume to the room, you will need light textiles. To increase the height of a room, you need curtains with stripes that run vertically.
2. Horizontal stripes and patterns are appropriate to use in small and narrow rooms.
3. The wallpaper should be a couple of tones different from the wallpaper, darker or lighter.
4. In a poorly lit room, hang light-colored curtains. It can be beige, milky or ivory. If there is more sun than required, hang curtains in darker shades.
5. If you combine curtains with furniture, consider the tone that prevails in the room.
6. To focus on the windows, you need to choose rich curtains with bright patterns.

Kitchen finishing options

There are many finishing methods, but to achieve the best result, it is better to follow the following rules:

1. Cover one side of the wall with dark colors and the rest with light tones of green.
2. Divide the wall with a gradient technique or combine horizontal and vertical patterns.
3. Use canvases depicting nature, plants, etc.
4. For maximum comfort, cover the ceiling and walls in the same style.
5. When selecting green furniture or a set, everything else should be combined in shades. Use matte, glossy or laminated with photo printing.
6. Avoid too dense concentration of patterns and colors. Excess can lead to bad taste.

Consider the color of the furniture

Curtains, unlike furniture, can be changed much more often. This is an easy way to update your interior and create a new mood in the room. Therefore, when you choose curtains, take into account the tone and material with which the upholstered furniture is upholstered. Massive classics do not combine with lightweight floral prints in bright colors. Just like for furniture in the Art Nouveau or high-tech style, voluminous lambrequins are not suitable. Satin and silk curtains are appropriate for a room in the Art Nouveau style, silver drapes are suitable for minimalism.

To create a harmonious space, consider not only the color of curtains and wallpaper, but also the furniture. Any wood tones go well with greenery on the walls. If the furniture is light, then choose curtains to match. For a dark room, you need a muted color scheme. Wood species with yellowness, such as limba, koto, maple, pear, will harmoniously combine with fuchsia, cornflower blue, and lavender.

Light blue and blue

These cool colors have a calming effect. Just as one endlessly looks at running water and the surface of the sea, so sea tones encourage contemplation and reflection. Blue is ideal for a bedroom - at night it acquires some mystery, and falling asleep in such an environment is very pleasant.

Blue is the color of the sea, so no marine interior can do without it. White, beige and orange – the colors of southern countries and snow-white warm beaches – will enhance the impression.

Room decoration

Each room has decorating rules.

Bedroom

The bedroom is a place for relaxation and romance, for this reason the interior should be appropriate. For this room you can choose light colors. Green wallpaper in the bedroom should have the addition of yellow. To prevent the interior from being boring, one of the walls can be made an accent wall.

Photo wallpaper or a darker wall will attract attention. For the remaining walls, choose wallpaper of the same color. Bright ornaments will not be appropriate. Choose curtains for the bedroom from thick fabrics that will not let in light. For example, this could be a blackout material.

Living room

Living Room
For the living room, it is recommended to choose wallpaper in dynamic colors. The relaxing lightness of delicate flowers would be inappropriate here. Green curtains in the living room interior can be in contrasting combinations. Bright inserts are acceptable.

You can use various prints, silver, and gold fabrics for curtains in the living room. A snow-white color will add nobility to the interior. Thick curtains or accessories can be made from it. Turquoise and sapphire in the decoration of the room go well with dark furniture.

Kitchen

When choosing green curtains for the kitchen, experiment with colors at your discretion. Everything will depend on the atmosphere you want to create. If a green kitchen is a place for family dinners and leisurely conversation, then choose muted shades. People who live at a fast pace will suit contrasting colors.

When choosing a palette in green tones, consider the size of the room. Kitchen units are often small in size. Therefore, light colors should prevail in the kitchen interior. This applies to furniture, walls and curtains.

Children's room

The room in which children relax and study should not be bright. Choose calm, muted shades without bright patterns, otherwise the nervous system will be overexcited and you won’t be able to relax or do homework in the room.

The part of the room that is intended for games can be diluted with bright prints and contrasting colors.

Yellow

Another example of a warm palette. Good associations did not bypass him either - this is gentle sunlight. Its peculiarity is that it reveals itself as an accent. If you take yellow as the basis in the interior, you quickly get tired of it - just like it’s impossible to look at the sun, but it’s nice to see reflections on the water and sunbeams.

The contrasting combination of yellow and blue looks impressive, the latter favorably sets off the flashy, lemony and capricious shade. And the interior in yellow and green colors amazes with its warmth. The sunny color will fit perfectly into the kitchen or living room, and in the bedroom it looks luxurious as an accent in textiles.

Wallpaper with designs and patterns

To combine wallpaper with prints, patterns, and geometric patterns, you need to use several rules:

• When choosing vertical lines on the walls, choose curtains in the form of straight panels. This way you will visually raise the ceiling in the room.
• The presence of a voluminous print or, conversely, a small pattern suggests curtains of the same tone. Do not choose blackout curtains, as they block the flow of light. This will visually make the room smaller.

The final image will be formed by combining all the objects in the room.

• A classic interior, which is dominated by coatings without patterns, can be complemented with voluminous textile structures on the windows.

When choosing curtain material, consider the density of the wallpaper. The lighter the texture of the wall covering, the more weightless the curtains can be selected.

Rules for using light green color

As we learned above, green tones create a cozy environment and improve mental activity. But to create high-quality and beautiful design, you need to follow certain rules. For example: first select all the fittings, furniture and appliances, and only then proceed to choosing the canvas. Other rules include:

• Individual green tones (like lime, pear and chartreuse) are best used when decorating small rooms. It is better to cover large areas with restrained tones, in the form of pine needles and myrtle;
• if the kitchen gets direct sunlight, choose a combination of green and blue (jade, malachite, emerald or mint);
• yellow shades are suitable for artificial darkening;
• a white kitchen with light green wallpaper looks luxurious, expensive and cozy. A feeling of cleanliness, lightness and comfort is created.

As mentioned above, some tones go better together, so choose the furniture first and then choose the finish.

Patterned curtains

If you have chosen curtains to match green wallpaper with a pattern, then be careful. The ornament should complement the interior and should not be too pretentious. An excess of patterns if incorrectly combined with wall coverings will look out of place. The right combination of prints with the rest of the room’s decoration will set the right accents.

To choose patterned curtains, consider:

• voluminous print is combined with a plain wall covering;
• if the wallpaper is nude, ivory or beige, then the curtains can be with patterns to match;
• if you have chosen the same type of ornament on curtains and wallpaper, then the base tone should be different. It is also possible to use ornaments of different sizes;
• The parameters of the room can be adjusted due to the horizontal or vertical pattern. Diamonds, squares and other geometric elements should be combined with the same ornament in the room. It can be duplicated on walls or accessories.

What to combine with

The best combinations with light green color are:

1. Blue. A feeling of interaction between nature and sky is created. With this combination, it is better to use noble and natural tones, avoiding unwanted turquoise and other shades.

2. Brown. If you need designer contrast, your choice should be this option. Use brown or wooden furniture with a hint of nature and add green tones. For a unique result, experts recommend adding black to highlight certain details.
3. With red and yellow. When combined well, they give an original summer look. But try not to overdo it. Act in such a way that the furniture, kitchen utensils and coverings are combined together and do not break them into strictly standardized tones.

Selection for plain walls

An ornament on curtains can completely change the perception of space.

If your wallpaper is the same color and does not have a pronounced texture, and the ceiling is low, then choose a vertical pattern.

Window openings that are not wide enough can be corrected with horizontal patterns.

If the window is the main accent in the room, then feel free to choose rich prints. They will stand out well against the background of a plain wall covering.

When choosing a minimalist style, when the walls are without patterns, you can use curtains in rolls. To make them an accent in the room, choose bright colors.

White walls are a universal coating tone with which you can combine any colors and fabric textures. Rich or muted tones, nude tones or metallics, the whole palette will look good. There are 2 rules for choosing curtains:

• curtains should be combined with pieces of furniture, flooring and accessories;
• To avoid monotony, the walls next to the curtains should have a different texture.

Should you pay attention to other furnishings?

Compared to large wall coverings and window treatments, other furnishings are significantly less important when it comes to creating a basic color scheme. The only thing worth paying attention to is the furniture, since it takes up a significant share of the living space and rarely needs to be replaced.

When choosing curtains, pay attention to the color and texture of the sets and individual large-sized structures.

The clear affiliation of interior items to a certain style requires the selection of appropriate fabrics. Thus, metallized threads decorating curtains will become a natural detail of the furnishings in the spirit of “high-tech”, and silk and satin materials meet all the requirements of “Art Deco”.

We take prints into account

When creating an integral composition of space, different materials are used, which can be either plain or with patterns. It must be taken into account that the ornaments must be combined and made in the same style and theme. Floral patterns on the walls cannot be combined with diamonds on the walls or a strict vertical stripe on the wallpaper with natural prints on the curtains.

The most common way to combine prints is to use them in only one item. Curtain and wallpaper of your choice. Then it will be a harmonious accent that does not overload the space.

Choosing curtains depending on the type of wallpaper

Light green walls can be either very bright or in calmer tones, close to yellow, olive or marsh. It is noteworthy that light green walls are not always monochromatic. Depending on the type of pattern, curtains are selected.

Plain wallpapers are rarely used, although they are very versatile and can be glued to any wall. Light green rooms often look too bright, so to soften the look, they often make only one wall soft green, while the rest are decorated in softer colors. To combine with bright light green, beige, cream, milky and similar shades are perfect. In the case of such a combination, the curtains can be selected in the same color scheme as the walls. The photo below shows one of the options for this bedroom design.

When choosing a curtain, it is advisable to come to the store with a roll in order to accurately determine the suitable material. Only in this case will the room look flawless and beautiful.

Light green striped wallpaper is more often used in living rooms or in children's playrooms or bedrooms. This pattern helps to visually increase the area of ​​the room. For such walls you can choose Japanese curtains made in the same color variation as the walls. The rules for choosing fabric panels remain the same - you need to choose the material by comparing it with the roll.

This design option is also suitable for cabinets and offices, where one or all of the walls are painted in various variations of green. At the same time, Japanese curtains retain a business style in the interior.

For wallpaper with a large pattern or ornament, you need to choose voluminous curtains. These can be tulles with a large number of folds or curtains made of dense material. This design is more suitable for bedrooms and is rarely used in living rooms. The photo below shows heavy curtains made of dense material. They harmonize well with the patterns on the walls.

Wallpaper with large patterns is not used in the kitchen - options with small patterns are better suited there.

In a room where the wallpaper has a small pattern, it is better to use a plain fabric for curtains, which is made of a thin and light material that folds freely and hangs evenly. You can limit yourself to only tulle curtains, for living rooms, for example. It is better to use additional light curtains for bedrooms. If the material for curtains is plain, then the tulle can have a light pattern.

The photo clearly shows the curtains and tulle in the bedroom, which has walls with a fine pattern. Delicate tulles only emphasize the design, but do not shade it. Moreover, the curtains are chosen several shades darker.

Green wallpaper in room curtains
