There are much fewer disadvantages:
- with a monochrome solution, light beige seems “boring” or “nondescript”;
- plain plain curtains have to be diluted with more attractive fabric for daytime curtains;

- Many fabrics of a thick beige color fade quickly when exposed to the sun.
To balance out some of the shortcomings of beige curtains, you can experiment with a combination of different types of fabric to decorate the room. Well-draped fabrics are used for folds and frills, ruffles and creases. Wrinkle-resistant curtains are suitable for complex styles. rigid fabrics look good in smooth curtains with small tails. Organza and veil, satin and curtain velvet are suitable for the living room.

Yellow accessories enhance the “character” of any tone in the beige palette. Green color is attractive from the point of view of its beneficial psychological effects. For example, curtains for a children's room in olive color with beige decor will create a calm and positive environment. An emerald dark blackout in the bedroom will create the desired intimate mood, avoiding unnecessary gloom.
The combination of “lush greenery” and bright sunny shades is usually associated with dandelions, a spring field, and a lemon grove. Prints with flowers, fruits, and other floral notes will significantly “lighten” thick curtains or massive blackout.

- All sand tints (thick curtains and light tulle made of different materials in the same shade will look completely different);
- Ecru (refined double curtains or complex Roman canvases are decorated with prints and exquisite designs);
- Opal shade (looks good in progressive modern interiors).
Another interesting representative of the beige palette is caramel. Experts recommend placing all gastronomic tones in the kitchen; even a laconic blackout acquires its own special charm.

Briefly about the main thing
The choice of curtain color for beige wallpaper depends on the characteristics of the wall color: its saturation and warmth. It is also necessary to take into account additional parameters: the level of illumination of the room, the tone of the furniture, color and the presence of prints on the textiles themselves.
A combination of wallpaper and curtains in beige color is considered a win-win option if the colors differ by two or three tones, or there is an ornament and/or texture on the fabric. Textiles in brown tones are also suitable. If there is a bright, contrasting object in the room (for example, a sofa with original upholstery), curtains of the same color will serve as a good addition.

Decor for curtains
Holders
Holders change the appearance of the window in the same way as the curtains themselves. They should be selected based on the style of the interior.
Clamps
They are used not only for fixing curtains, but also for additional decoration and adding originality to the design.
Tiebacks
They not only add originality and creativity to the room, but also act as a practical addition to curtains.
Tassels and fringe
They will add a feeling of coziness and comfort to the room. Fringe can be used for curtains as a fabric tie or simply as decoration.
Lambrequins
Lambrequin is a decorative drapery that is located at the top of the curtains. Often they decorate not only the living room or bedroom.
We place accents
The best option would be furniture, accessories or carpeting in the same shade as the drapes. But you shouldn’t make the entire room in the same tone, otherwise the decor will look faded and blurry. Be sure to add a few bright accents.
Pay attention to texture. Lighter, flowy fabrics are well suited for the living room and bedroom. And dense ones for the hallway or kitchen.
- Consider acceptable combinations of several colors.
- You can complement beige curtains with decorative elements - lambrequins, garters, tassels, fringe, and decorate with elegant threads of beads.
- You might like lifting Roman curtains; by the way, they look most advantageous in natural colors.
- Roller blinds are a good option for the kitchen and bedroom; they are easy to use and look very stylish.
Ideas in different styles
Classic
Curtains in a classic style, made of thick, heavy fabric, look flawless and elegant.
Modern (hi-tech, fusion, etc.)
Curtains are made without the use of decorative elements and fill the space with modernity and style.
Provence
Curtains in beige tones, lush with decorative elements and characteristic floral patterns. Such curtains will fill the house with freshness, cleanliness and cozy warmth.
Loft
You can add coziness to a loft with the help of curtains, so a completely careless room will take on a pleasant look.

In the photo, beige curtains combine perfectly with dark colors.
Country
Comfortable country style fills the space with unpretentiousness, cozy simplicity and a sense of stability. Country style curtains are made of natural fabric, any length is welcome. Flowers, polka dots or a characteristic stripe or check can be placed on a beige canvas.
Scandinavian
The main criterion for choosing curtain fabric for a Scandinavian-style room is natural ingredients, such as linen, cotton, muslin or satin. Natural materials create free access of light into the room, creating warm and soft lighting in the room. Harmonious patterns and warm shades can be used as a design.
Varieties of beige curtains
The photo of beige curtains shows that they can be of several types. Let's look at the most popular window design options today.
Curtains in the interior of rooms
Living room
Curtains in the interior of the living room are designed to connect with each other all the decorative elements in the room. Beige shades will establish balance in the room, creating not only comfort and warmth, but also making the interior holistic.
Bedroom
Beige curtains in the bedroom should be made of dense material, not letting light from the street into the room. Curtains should be made in the style of the entire room, fitting harmoniously and adding zest.
The photo shows double curtains in a beige bedroom.
Kitchen
Curtains in the kitchen in a beige shade are not always practical, so it is better to use Roman or roller curtains; this solution will be more organic and functional.
Children's
Curtains in a children's room should be made in soft shades of beige, made of thick fabric, so that light from the street does not interfere with the child's sound sleep. Curtains can be made in any suitable style of the room's interior.
The photo shows light beige curtains with eyelets with a wave pattern.
Flaws
Despite all the respectability and organic nature, textiles in beige tones still have a number of specific features that can be classified as disadvantages. The excessive popularity of such attributes “played a cruel joke” with beige curtains and drapes. There are so many of them on the market that many buyers deliberately refuse the “classics”, which are distributed everywhere in large quantities.
At the same time, many forget that it is the beige background that allows you to experiment a lot, creating extraordinary, bold, exclusive installations. The only case when curtains in beige tones, especially those made of light translucent fabrics, will not be able to fully demonstrate all their advantages is an excessively high degree of insolation in the room where the curtains are planned to be placed.
If there is a need to hide from the sun from time to time, delicate fabric will not cope. In the interior of a living room or kitchen, this problem is not so pressing, but in a bedroom or children's room there is often a need to hide from bright light from the street.
