Advantages of a yellow shade
So, why are yellow curtains so good in the interior of a kitchen or living room? Here's what:
- Manifold. In terms of the number of shades, yellow can compete with blue and red. His palette includes both cold and warm tones, which can also be combined with each other.
- Non-marking. Spots and dust are almost invisible on yellow. They are especially convenient in studios.
- Reflectivity. Yellow curtains in the living room do not reduce the intensity of sunlight. True, this is not always a virtue. In sunny rooms this can be a disadvantage.
The power of bright colors
All shades of yellow belong to the bright palette. For a long time they were considered a royal luxury, so only imperial persons were allowed to wear clothes in this color. Today everything is much more democratic. Like it, choose it, no, don't touch it.

Color combinations for yellow curtains
With yellow curtains you can combine, if not all, then most colors.
True, due to its aggressiveness, any combinations must be carried out carefully.
Green
The main rule of yellow-green combinations is equal intensity.
The combination of vanilla and olive, terracotta and malachite looks good, but light green and lemon are bad manners!
For example, vanilla yellow curtains go well with an olive sofa.
Blue
Blue and yellow are complementary colors that go well together in any way you like.
They are often used as equal partners. For example, you can hang blue curtains or tulle with yellow curtains.
With red and orange
A very dangerous combination, i.e. all three colors are warm. It is better to combine them gradiently, as in the photo.
You can use red and orange for upholstered furniture or accessories on the windowsill.
Brown
An unusual and pleasant combination, especially if the color is pastel yellow or vanilla. Prefer light curtains or even tulle with a border - the accent will be soft.
But be careful, because... brown looks simple.
White
White is a blank canvas, so it's no surprise that any shade looks interesting with it.
Yellow curtains in the bedroom and living room look especially beautiful on white, because... convey lightness and simplicity to the interior. Any shade will do, regardless of temperature and intensity.
Grey
Any shades, including yellow, can also be easily combined with gray.
The gray-mustard palette is especially pleasing to the eye, because... both tones have a calming effect.
But with intense yellowness you need to be careful - it’s easy to overdo it.
Suitable wallpaper color
Yellow curtains improve your mood even with a quick glance at them. It's worth a try to be sure. They organize space and are easily mounted with other tones.
Color combinations for yellow curtains are white, steel, black. Try combining them. The design will be laconic and at the same time accentuated due to the different intensity and energy of the shades.
Neutral gray wallpaper will complement the combination of thread or muslin curtains - white, champagne, beige. They can be arranged in contrasting stripes or with a smooth ombre transition.
White walls, one of which is covered with photo wallpaper with large flowers, will be complemented and illuminated with warm light by yellow curtains made of high-quality fabrics that diffuse soft light. The saffron decoration of the windows stands out perfectly against the white background. In such an environment, it is wonderful to greet the morning, waking up in bed, or start the day with a cup of strong tea in the kitchen.
Choosing a living room style for yellow curtains
The background is not the only stage in the formation of the interior; style is of paramount importance.
Fortunately, most of the moves have already been invented by designers, and all you have to do is take advantage of their ideas.
Classical
Classic is a very capricious style, where most of the modern features are unacceptable. Yellow curtains for the kitchen or living room are allowed, but always with a golden tint!
Don't forget about the form factor of the curtains. Natural classics welcomes:
- Long curtains to the floor. Yes, ceiling to floor curtains are recommended. Short ones will be too fake.
- Natural materials. Synthetic shine is undesirable. It is better to choose silk or cotton textiles.
- Simple ornament. As a rule, the classic ornament is strict, consisting of geometric shapes and simple painting.
It is not advisable to hang yellow curtains in the kitchen or bedroom - they are only appropriate in the living room or studio.
Provence and country
Both styles are provincial, therefore with an appropriate “country chic”. Yellow is required here, because... it breaks up the boring wooden design.
So that the curtains do not turn out to be superfluous, you should adhere to the canons:
- Length – not lower than the window sill. Better yet, use cafe-style curtains that cover half the window.
- Only natural materials. Cotton is recommended, but modern materials with a small addition of polyester or elastane are also suitable.
- Yellow must be complemented with ornaments. A typical “grandmother’s” pattern is appropriate here, i.e. flowers and berries.
Modern
Modern design does not impose strict limits on curtains. Any length, color temperature and ornament are appropriate here.
However, there are a few recommendations:
- Prefer complimentary colors. In this case, the color wheel (see above) will help you. Find the color of the curtains on the wheel - the required shade of the curtains will be on the opposite side.
- Choose a low intensity yellow. These include pastel shades, terracotta, mustard and others.
Fusion
Fusion, also known as mixed style, basically has no rules.
Colored porridge is also allowed, so you can combine yellow with anything. The same applies to the length and material of the curtains - there are no requirements for it.

Combining different types of curtains
Tulle and curtain
You can use the classic combination - thick curtains in front and tulle in the back.
Moreover, in this case, the curtains should be a rich yellow color. The tulle can be pastel or even white!
With lambrequin
Lambrequins are an extension of the curtains, so they should also be yellow! But you can play with shades and patterns.
Their shape should match the curtains: if the curtains are draped, then also decorate the lambrequins with folds.
Short and long
In this case, the short curtain is usually unbreakable.
You can decorate it with external long tulle. You should not combine thick curtains, because... the room will be too dark and uncomfortable.
Plain and with ornament
In this case, ornamental curtains must be hung in the foreground. It is desirable that the pattern has the same shade of yellow as the plain curtains at the back.
Please note that both curtains should be approximately the same length.

Below is a “wider” photo gallery on the design of yellow curtains in the interior, which will help you decide on the right combination of colors for your home.
Decor
The yellow color of the curtains is successfully emphasized by copper and bronze decorative details, as well as mirror surfaces. But the curtains themselves cannot do without decorating elements.
Holders
Ruffles, garters, curtain holders help in combination with other colors, highlight and enhance the layering effect. In addition, initially they have a utilitarian purpose - to regulate the degree of illumination due to the width and length of the curtains.
Clamps
On delicate golden translucent fabrics, the most original figured clips in the form of a motley butterfly, a dragonfly with rhinestones, or a half-opened bud look very natural. Simple clips are also used - for minimalist, strict and classic styles.
Tiebacks
Tiebacks are appropriate for both bright curtains and delicate colors. In the case of yellow colors, in addition to the usual fabric ones, tiebacks made of twisted gold cord, woven in the form of a braid or cord, are appropriate.
