Welcome to our gallery featuring a lovely collection of living rooms with curtains and drapes.

This collection consists of a wide variety of eclectic living rooms, ranging in style from ultra modern to traditional and luxurious.

Look for a wide range of textures, colors, and patterns throughout this gallery, and not only in the curtains!

These living rooms tend to be heavy in pattern and color, both subtle and bright. Florals are a popular pattern for curtains, as one or two panels tend not to overpower a room the way a sofa or rug might.

Look for heavier drapes combined with sheers across the window to preserve privacy, but not block the light entirely.

Curtains have many different uses, including trapping heat, blocking light, and preserving privacy, but in contemporary design, curtains are usually an accent piece, and blinds may be used for privacy on windows where it’s necessary.

In this gallery, most of the curtains are decorative in nature, providing contrast to furniture or walls, or reinforcing the style of a room. For example, it’s very easy to tell a room is traditional if the curtains are thick, dark, and have tassels.

In the end, how you decide to use your curtains in your design is entirely up to you, whether you choose to use them as purely decoration, or for a more functional purpose.

We hope you’ll find your inspiration in this gallery of lovely living rooms!

The eye-popping pattern of these brown and cream curtains contrast strongly with the textured solid furniture upholstery throughout the room. All the texture and patterns make for an eclectic design.

The subtle texture of these butter-yellow curtains complements the delicate floral motif of the chair and accent pillows.

Billowy white curtains are thick enough to fully obscure and maintain the privacy of the occupants when they are pulled to cover the massive seamless windows.

A delicate pattern in the curtains that matches accent pieces in the room is a great way to add visual interest and tie solid pieces into an overall design scheme.

In a more traditional living room, thick, heavy drapes are held back by a tasseled curtain tie back. Regardless of whether the drapes will ever be closed, they frame large windows beautifully.

As we pull back our view of the seating we can see that the windows are a set of bay windows, and the curtains continue around the corner.

The incredible elegance of these drapes and the accompanying valance corresponds with the deep tray ceiling and the varying shades of neutral beige throughout the space.

In a mostly white living room, sheer curtains in a slightly more neutral shade are a welcome change and provide an easier transition to some of the darker furniture.

This interesting style has a single patterned panel on the far side of each window, with a draped sheer panel on the other side, looped over to act as a valance as well.

The most interesting feature of these curtains are the way that they perfectly match the wallpaper, seeming to almost be part of the wall.

When added to the already sunny yellow living room, these strawberry motif curtains add a charming, quaint detail that picks up the color of the accent pillows and of the beautiful vase of flowers.
