Can you mix different curtains in the same room?
For a cohesive look, we generally recommend using the same curtain style within a single space. This helps create a calm, considered finish. That said, there’s room to be creative—layering sheer and blockout curtains, or combining textures, can add depth when done thoughtfully.
When moving from room to room, you have more flexibility. Each space can reflect its own purpose—while still feeling connected through complementary tones, textures, or finishes.
At Harvey Furnishings, our consultants can help you strike the right balance between variety and continuity throughout your home.
Can curtains work with any interior style?
Absolutely. Curtains are one of the most versatile design elements and can be tailored to suit any look—from classic to contemporary.
Here are a few fabric styles to consider:
- Velvets – Sophisticated and luxurious, ideal for adding depth and warmth
- Sheers – Light-filtering and elegant, perfect for a contemporary, airy feel
- Linens and natural blends – Relaxed, textural and timeless
- Textured weaves – Structured and refined, creating a more tailored finish
The right choice comes down to how you want the space to feel, as well as practical considerations like privacy, insulation and light control.
How do you choose the right curtain colour?
Choosing colour doesn’t need to be complicated. Start with a simple palette and build from there.
Rather than getting caught up in subtle shade variations, focus on choosing colours that work harmoniously together. Well-designed collections are typically curated to complement each other, making it easier to mix and match with confidence.
What curtain colours work with white walls?
White walls offer a blank canvas, giving you complete flexibility.
You can:
- Keep things light and minimal with soft neutrals
- Introduce contrast with deeper tones
- Add warmth through texture and layered fabrics
Popular choices include natural linens, soft greys and subtle greens—helping to soften the space and make it feel more lived-in.
What curtain colours work best with beige walls?
Beige interiors provide a warm, versatile base that pairs beautifully with tonal layering.
To enhance this look, consider:
- Soft whites and warm neutrals
- Layered beiges and taupes
- Earth-inspired tones such as terracotta, rust or muted gold
These combinations create a cohesive, inviting environment with a natural sense of depth.
What curtains work with grey walls?
Grey interiors tend to have a cooler base, which works well with similarly toned palettes.
Consider:
- Clean whites for contrast
- Layered greys for a tonal look
- Cool blues or muted shades for added interest
These combinations maintain a refined, contemporary feel.
