If you are looking for ideas for living rooms with curtains, you probably already have the sofa, the table and the rug, and feel the room is missing something. Very often, what is missing is at the window. Here are six different settings, each with its own way of dressing it, so you can find the one that looks most like your home.

what a curtain does for a living room
A living room without curtains can be well furnished and still feel half finished. The window is a large surface, and left bare it becomes a cold gap in the middle of the wall. Dressing it does three things at once: the light comes in softer, the window is framed and the room gains a backdrop of fabric that makes it cosier.
That is why the curtain is one of the quickest ways to change a living room without building work or new furniture. And because it takes up so much space, it sets much of the mood: it can go unnoticed, act as a backdrop or take centre stage.
Changing the curtain is changing the whole living room without moving a single piece of furniture.
the bright living room that does not want to lose light
Light walls, a light floor and plenty of natural light. Here the curtain blends into the wall and the living room gains softness without losing a single ray of sun. The window stops being a cold rectangle and becomes a fabric backdrop that moves with the air. For this setting, take a look at our white curtains.
the warm living room of wood and clay
Wooden furniture, a terracotta-toned floor and a touch of terracotta here and there. A curtain in a soft earthy shade acts as a backdrop and lets the wood and cushions bring the colour. It is the living room you long for when you come home on an autumn afternoon. It goes well with our beige curtains and some cushions in terracotta tones.
the curtain as the star
In a living room with plain walls and a neutral sofa, the window can be the touch of colour it lacks. A curtain with presence draws the eye towards the light and gives the room character without touching a single piece of furniture. Keep the rest calm: let the curtain do the talking. Choose your favourite in our curtain collection.
the common thread: curtain, cushions and throw
One of the simplest ideas to make a living room look considered: repeating the same shade in three textiles. The curtain sets the colour on a large scale, the cushions pick it up on the sofa and the throw carries it to the armchair. Without combining anything else, the room reads as a whole.
the reading corner by the window
An armchair, a floor lamp, a side table and the window beside them. The curtain frames the corner and separates it from the rest of the living room without putting up a wall. With a throw over the arm of the chair, it is the spot you end up in on Sundays. Finish it off with one of our throws and blankets.
the mediterranean living room
Whitewashed walls, ceramics, natural fibres and afternoon light. In this living room the curtain brings texture more than colour: a fabric with body, in natural tones, that filters the southern sun and leaves shadows on the floor. It is the calmest version and the one that ages best. Find the shade in our curtains and add cushions in earthy colours.
curtain, cushions and throw: the living room as a whole
Whichever idea you have chosen, the living room comes together when the textiles speak to each other. Everything does not need to be the same colour: it is enough for the curtain, the cushions and the throw to share at least one shade or the same temperature, all warm or all cool.
Sets the colour or backdrop on a large scale
Pick up that shade on the sofa
Carries it to the armchair or the arm of the sofa
And when autumn arrives and you want a cosier living room, you do not need to change anything big: draw the curtains at dusk, add a couple of cushions in warm tones and leave a throw within reach. With those three gestures, the room changes season.
textiles for dressing the living room
Curtains, cushions and throws designed to live together in the same room: shades that understand each other and fabrics that make you want to stay at home. Choose the idea that looks most like your living room and start with the window.
start with the window
Bright, warm, with a star curtain, with a common thread of colour, with a reading corner or Mediterranean: every living room has its own way of dressing the window. Choose yours, add cushions and a throw in the same shade, and let the curtain do the rest.
