Emerald curtains in the living room
Emerald curtains can play a significant role in the interior of the living room.
Before hanging them, carefully evaluate the interior of the apartment. Don't forget that this is a dark color, and too much of it will create a heavy, somewhat gloomy atmosphere. It will also visually reduce the space. Its abundance is appropriate in the office and for those who like to be in the magical atmosphere of magic. The design of curtains for the living room should be combined with a single style solution.
It is advisable to have few emerald-colored items in the living room. A room with gray walls and white furniture produces a beautiful look. You can verify this by looking at the photo. Consider options for curtains for the living room.
Combine emerald curtains in the living room with cream color. Moreover, curtains serve as decoration for both window and door openings. The tiebacks hold the curtain, creating a beautiful drapery. Pillows made from the same material complement the interior. The dark wooden floor matches the tone of the curtain.
Modern curtains for the living room are made from both thick fabric and tulle. Thick ones are curtains, and tulle curtains are thin curtains that cover the room from prying eyes. Before choosing curtains, you need to carefully study the interior; if you have blinds, you can get by with curtains.
The original decoration of the room with an emerald curtain with colors that turn into a light tone. Skillfully selected furniture with emerald-colored chairs, together with the curtains, creates an interesting compositional solution, giving the room a spectacular look.

Light textures
Delicate, translucent curtains can be made of organza or veil. These fabrics are affordable and retain their beautiful appearance for a long time. A light light green curtain will diffuse the light, creating a pleasant atmosphere of calm and privacy.
Another unusual type of curtain is muslin. It consists of many intertwined threads.
The advantage of muslin is that it freely allows air to enter the room. By choosing a dark green curtain, you will get a slight darkening effect.
Selection tips - what to consider when choosing
Before making a reckless purchase of green curtains, it is worth understanding their main characteristics. Not only the color matters, but also the material, its texture, uniformity or presence of a pattern. Separately, it is worth noting the range of curtains, which is represented by both simple curtains and complex Roman or Japanese panel designs. Textiles in the interior must be related to its theme, that is, the stylistic decision, the rest of the color palette, the arrangement of furniture and even the zoning of space. Bright green curtains will become an accent element in the room. You can duplicate the tone in other textiles (blankets, pillows, carpets) or furniture upholstery. Pale green curtains will be the perfect backdrop for richer tones.
Variety of shades
In addition to the classic green and its “forest” version, the color can please you with its rich tonal gradation. Light and bright shades include light green, lime, citrus, meadow (herbal) and exotic chartreuse, which was named after the herbal liqueur of the same name. “Culinary” variations (kiwi, avocado, pistachio) are also considered juicy color gradations. These bright colors bring “life” into a boring and stingy interior, so it is not recommended to overdo it with their use. Calmer shades include mint, wormwood, olive, viridian, malachite, jade, emerald and asparagus (named after the plant). Neutral tones with a large proportion of yellow, which brings them closer to brown, are considered khaki, camouflage and borderline mustard. Spring and sea green have a color “freshness” that will definitely lift the mood in the home.
Compatibility with other interior colors
Green combines well with coral and pink. This combination is often found in nature, so it is pleasing to the eye. A duet with red may be considered too vulgar by some if bright shades are used. Bright greenish tones combine well with orange, yellow and peach, forming a juicy, positive combination. The close relationship of the colors is reflected here, since they are located next to each other on the spectral circle. Green and yellow evoke pleasant associations with a bright meadow, which is dotted with spots of dandelion heads.
Paired with lilac, violet or purple, the color forms an exotic combination that will become an accent in the interior. You should not burden such an environment with additional dynamic shades. A duet with blue is suitable for spacious rooms where the “coldness” of the decoration will not play a cruel joke on the perception of space. Green and cinnamon, beige, walnut are found everywhere in nature, so this solution will be ideal for a natural eco style. In conjunction with white and gray, it forms a light, unobtrusive combination. The combination of green and black creates a gloomy, oppressive atmosphere, so if it is found in the interior, it is in very small “doses”.
Variety of models
Curtains have a wide range of models. The assortment is presented both by laconic options that are suitable for rustic styles in country houses, and by intricate designs that emphasize the luxury of the interior of a city apartment. The main models include:
- Italian. The model is equipped with numerous folds that artistically fall to the floor. Suitable for classic interiors with a touch of romanticism.
- Roman. They are a structure made of canvas, a roller and a special mechanism that winds fabric onto it.
- Curtains made of ropes and stripes. They perform a purely decorative function.
- Japanese panel. They look like wide vertical panels that, when pulled to the sides, “overlap” each other in the manner of wardrobe doors.
- Austrian. Curtains along the entire perimeter have special ribbons that pull the fabric along vertical lines, forming numerous folds.
- English. In many ways they are similar to the Austrian ones, but the number of assemblies is much smaller and each thread symbolically separates the window sections.
- Country curtains. Short curtains that barely reach the windowsill. For them, fabric with a pattern is usually chosen to emphasize the color of the interior in the country or Provence style. Blinds are considered the most primitive type of design on windows, but even they can be made in a cheerful green color, which will completely knock the “office” spirit out of the living space.
Quality of material and texture
Depending on the material, the color intensity of the curtains will also change. Thick fabrics, called curtains or drapes, make the colors richer. The thinnest curtains or tulle will let light through, but at the same time the shade will become more airy and light. When making curtains, as a rule, natural materials are used:
- Velvet. Typically used in classic interiors, as the fabric is associated with luxury. Velvet curtains have a short pile, which makes the green color deep and rich. For such curtains it is recommended to choose dark shades. You should not use velvet in small rooms.
- Linen. A natural, affordable material with a rough, “fibrous” texture, vaguely reminiscent of burlap. Green linen curtains will suit country and Scandinavian style, which also tends to be natural.
- Jacquard. The surface of a dense material, as a rule, is decorated with relief (pressed) designs made within the same color. Jacquard green curtains are suitable for both light and formal styles.
- Silk. The only airy material on this list that transmits little light, but can serve as a reliable curtain from the street. Silk is very sensitive to damage (tightening), so you will have to regularly care for the curtains and keep clawed pets away from them, eager to show their instincts and hang on the canvas.
Curtains or translucent tulle are made of organza, veil or muslin. In the latter case, not a single piece of fabric is used, but a set of very thin threads. Organza and veil diffuse sunlight well, but at the same time reliably protect from prying glances from the street.
Velvet curtains are very difficult to wash and we are not just talking about the weight of the fabric. After drying, the fleecy material looks very unsightly, since its “bristles” stick out in different directions and seem wrinkled. The iron is powerless in this situation. Velvet will literally have to be combed after every wash.
Plain or patterned
Curtains with patterns should be selected with special attention. Small repeating patterns suit classic or rustic interiors. These curtains go well with cheerful floral wallpaper. Textiles decorated with large prints should not be used in cramped spaces. Green color becomes an ideal background for floral patterns, which, when paired with it, look organic and evoke pleasant associations with nature. Depending on the topic, drawings are classified into four large groups:
- Floral ornament.
- Patterns with animals.
- Abstraction and geometric shapes.
- Prints.
Each type of pattern only suits certain styles. For example, green curtains decorated with geometric shapes and lines will look good in minimalism, avant-garde, hi-tech or futurism.
Green curtains in the kitchen
Light, pastel shades of green will help create a calm atmosphere, and at the same time reduce excessive appetite. Colors with a predominance of yellow, on the contrary, will noticeably increase energy and stimulate appetite.
When choosing curtains for the kitchen, designers most often choose shortened options. Compact models are suitable for small rooms.
Designer recommendations
Modern curtain materials offer great possibilities for the variability of combinations of texture and shade of green curtains and tulle. In any case, window decoration should be elegant and harmonious. If something confuses you, it is better to replace one component or completely redesign the window.
White tulle or an embroidered curtain is the ideal backdrop for any type of multi-layered compositions with lambrequins, as in the photo of green curtains for the bedroom.
Milky and creamy shades are nobly combined with “warm” shades of yellow-green kitchen curtains made of variegated fabric.
Instead of thick curtains in a child's bedroom, it is recommended to use green roller blinds. From common material it is easy to sew a lambrequin, pillowcases for a sofa and covers for armchairs in a one-room apartment.
To eliminate “ripples” in the bedroom interior, it is better to combine colorful textiles with plain wallpaper. Noble curtains with a shimmering shine, illuminated by LED strip, will suit the walls with a pattern.
A peach or apricot curtain plus curtains in grassy shades is an excellent option for a wooden country house or a small country house made of timber.
Experts also suggest carefully considering ready-made duets in catalogs of ready-made curtains, if you have no experience in combining curtains and drapes. For kitchen decor, the practicality of the fabric and ease of tailoring are important, and heavy green velvet or velor is suitable for a classic solution in the living room or bedroom.
It is important to focus on style preferences. In a house furnished in the spirit of Provence, combinations of lavender and olive tones are appropriate, which are not used anywhere else.
In loft or hi-tech style, the silver color of thread curtains, the cool mint tone of textiles and chrome fittings are perfectly combined. More interesting examples can be found in our photo selection of metropolitan interiors.
Options for the bedroom
Shades of green are ideal for decorating windows in a sleeping room.
When choosing curtains for the bedroom, choose light-proof fabrics if the windows face the sunny side. Jade shades will soothe and relieve eye irritation.
Green tea color is great for daytime curtains. Dark green curtains go perfectly with airy white tulle.
Selection of green curtains
To make the room special, you can choose curtains with a pattern:
- Floral print. This is the most common curtain design. Flowers in pink or white shades will look good on a green canvas.
- Leaves can change the overall mood of a room. Palm branches will remind you of summer and the tropics, so they will bring positive notes to the room. Sheets of regular round or oblong shape will have a calming effect.
- The gold ornament looks exquisite on a green background. The combination will help decorate the room in a Victorian or classical style.
- The strip looks laconic, regardless of the interior of the house. To visually increase the height of the ceiling, you can choose a vertical print.
- The cage looks homely, filling the room with warmth and comfort.
- Ombre is one of the most popular design trends today, characterized by a smooth transition between tones.
When choosing curtains, pay attention to the room in which they will be used:
- Short ones are suitable for the kitchen or loggia. In other rooms they can be combined with long ones.
- Long - used in the bedroom and living room.

Curtains in green tones for the bedroom can become the highlight of the interior. They look great against light-colored surfaces. Malachite is a magical shade that attracts attention. Such textiles will make the room luxurious; you just need to select a few more elements of the same tone.
If you choose malachite curtains for the bedroom, then it is better to choose a warm color scheme. The use of dark and bright canvases will not allow you to completely relax and get ready for rest.
Which material to choose
When choosing green curtains, you should not rely only on color shades; the density of the material plays an important role in creating a successful window composition.
Dense textures can emphasize the sophistication of the color palette. Curtains made from this fabric look heavy and balanced, and can also darken a sunny room. The following materials will come to the rescue: brocade, thick cotton or linen, taffeta and jacquard.
Thick curtains reliably protect from light and form smooth, beautifully hanging folds
Light, light green voile curtains let in the sun's rays, and the room is filled with yellow-green flowing light. Such curtains do not overload the space, but rather lighten the atmosphere and look like a delicate and light window frame. In addition to the veil for transparent green curtains, you can choose organza, tulle, transparent silk and chintz.
Transparent fabrics transmit light well and visually enlarge the room
