Your living room has all of the charm — and also the inherent shadows — of a glen. The dark wood and the sofa that is moss-green are calming, but you want to eliminate the snooze element. Drapes or curtains are key to taking serene decoration from safe to spectacular. Your sofa might be the star, by vying for attention — without 21, but the curtains should raise the bar.
Stick With Serenity
Drapes silvery rainfall’s colour or stone’s gray match a sofa and dark timber. Bring glow with silver taffeta silk drapes to velvet upholstery and walnut or mahogany, lined in silk. The library maintains a hushed tone with pewter or granite drapes that can be pulled back together with braided ties and finials to reveal wood slat blinds.
Soft Contact
Moss and pale blue is classic — and the powerful summary of wood furniture frames provides a spike of energy to a color scheme. The yellowish-green of a fern moss and a nut or flat moss-colored sofa’s color are delicate when offset by sky-blue open weave curtains or ice-blue taffeta. The pale blues and dark browns match attractively with any color sofa independently. But moss green could be restful in wood furniture and a bedroom with a moss green loveseat as it is from the living room and keeps it from the colour spectrum that is trendy.
The Flip Side
The moss green sofa is the showpiece of this room and an heirloom. Nevertheless, mantel the dark wood floors and tables maintain their own and add drama to the scene. The mix is a little somber, and also a wall of drapes over windows that are ceiling-to-floor has got the task of defining the room tasteful, not sepulchral. Choose raw silk, pool the drapes on the floor, and also make them in ivory or a lighter shade of this sofa. Then line the drapes with silk at tartan or a plaid that combines shades of dark brown, ivory, moss and a little medium pomegranate or gray. Arrange the drapes, as they float at the bottom, so the lining is turned back and provides a glimpse of this plaid.
Pumpkins and Patterns
Do not be reluctant to add sudden or pattern touches of color in the curtains in a room. Strong raw sienna or rust drapes that are heavy seem a crop note against moss shades and dark wood from chartreuse to pickle to olive. Damask drapes that are embossed or brocade, roman shades, or curtains are complex in patterns ranging from irregular stripes to paisley to antique motifs such as cornucopia or fleur-de-lis. The effect is without looking outdated or mannered urbane when the patterns incorporate a bit of carrot cinnabar or sunset orange together with the upholstery hue’s accent — and the pale color of their walls — gray or oyster.
