Usually people use strict, dull curtain colors, and few people dare to experiment.
One of the most interesting colors for curtains is pink - regardless of the owner of the room and the circumstances, this color will express tenderness and playfulness.
Pink is a truly unique color. Some shades can cause a surge of energy and emotions, while others, on the contrary, can cause relaxation and tranquility.
Pink color, its influence on the interior, mood, character of the house
Pink curtains easily remove negative emotions, give a good mood and provide peace
“The choice of colors affects your mood—that's why a lot of research goes into choosing color schemes,” say designers at Chicago design firm Studio Gild. Let's consider the palette of pinkish, the impact on the interior, the emotions of people.
Important!
The combination of pinkish with gray and blue is the most relevant. Pale gray works well in a variety of spaces. Who doesn't want to feel like they're floating on clouds? Dreamy blue is suitable for maximum relaxation of a room for rest and sleep, as a calming accord in the bathroom. A dirty shade of gray creates a feeling of stability, evokes a sense of order and calm. Pink brings a feeling of happiness, optimism, joy.
There are several hundred shades in the pink palette: from delicate pink-gray to intense fuchsia.
Terracotta curtains in the living room, combination with wallpaper and furniture
Terracotta is the color of the earth, which has seized supremacy among “earthly” colors. Modest appearance, 5000-year history of the architectural environment, comfort - make terracotta attractive for interior design. Plus, this soft, rusty hue is so familiar to us - from bricks to flower pots - that it has come to be considered a neutral, blending with other design elements to bring a sense of character.
Terracotta color is always warm, it brings comfort and peace to the house
Terracotta looks very advantageous in places where there are light sources. These are windows, lamps, floor lamps. Therefore, a terracotta curtain will make the interior design of the living room soft, bring comfort and pleasant coziness. The emphasis of the living room can be placed on chairs and a sofa. This distinctive shade of hot orange adds richness, depth to many interior schemes.
Terracotta-colored curtains will look organic in the living room; they are ideal for use in rooms with dark and light beige walls
“For me, terracotta is a very neutral paint,” says Sophie Ashby, an English interior designer. “In the spectrum of earth tones, it creates the perfect base for leveling other colors. I like the contrast of terracotta with icy pale blues and greens.” The designer recommends combining terracotta tulle with walls of pale blue, gray, and green.
Another English designer Linda Boronkay suggests adding hot peach and raspberry to the walls instead of a gray-blue palette, diluting them with dark green marble accessories.
Note!
Terracotta tulle will look great as a curtain for an open wardrobe or as a partition when separating the living room space from the kitchen area. The purpose of using terracotta is to create a space with a “friendly atmosphere”.

Basic rules for room design
Regardless of the design, incorporating pink colors has a positive effect on the overall health. The person instantly relaxes and calms down. It has been noted that this anti-stress effect improves the appearance of the skin.
When a young girl or woman lives alone, there can be as much pink palette in her room as she wants. Walls, furniture and curtains can have rich colors. If the room has pink wallpaper, the curtains should be one or two shades lighter or darker. If the curtains merge with the wall, this will lead to oversaturation of colors.
Men have a completely different attitude towards pink curtains. Before choosing a material, consult with your other half. The male sex is tolerant of vague pink and peach shades.
Pinkish color in the bedroom, combination of interiors
Pink curtains are applicable not only in the interiors of women's rooms; such elegant elements of window decoration can decorate any room
Pink is the most popular choice for decorating the personal space of girls of all ages. Therefore, it is often skipped when choosing the color scheme for adults’ personal space. It's a shame because it's versatile and matches the bedroom vibe. Most adults won't use this color scheme as a base. However, you can add stunning color accents that work well with any other paint. For example, peach curtains will bring comfort and a good mood for the whole day.

Final notes
The best is the enemy of the good... But that doesn’t stop our inner perfectionist, right? And there is nothing wrong with making something beautiful simply a masterpiece. To embellish the curtains and create a unique design, you can limit yourself to beautiful drapery.
There are two ways to drape curtains. One of them is eyelets. The depth and width of the folds depends on the distance between them. You can also use hooks, magnets or yokes that fix the canvas in the desired position. However, you can safely use all available options by creating drapery at the top and bottom of the curtains.
Tip: before buying, check whether the fabric will lie nicely in the folds, and do not forget to buy the fabric with a reserve. You can find a simple formula for calculating the width of a curtain taking into account the drapery on the Internet.
Another very relevant detail for decorating curtains is the side or bottom edging. If you selected the curtains to match the color of the walls, then the edging can be in harmony with the upholstery of the sofa or armchairs.
Openwork lambrequins look more like large lace than fabric. They will become a decoration, and if you wish, the main, contrasting accent of the bedroom or living room.
Soft lambrequins are beautifully draped fabric falling from the eaves. They are additionally decorated with frills, molds, tassels, flounces and other decorative elements. All types of lambrequins, as in the case of curtains, combine perfectly with each other, making it possible to create beautiful window compositions.
To summarize, we note that pink is not as monotonous and “girly” as some people think. In the interior, it can act as both a background color (on the walls) and an accent color (for example, curtains). We hope that our selection of photographs with different styles and ideas was interesting and useful.
