Whether you perfectly partner your black curtains with a neutral paint palette or opt for something a little bolder, such as a striking navy blue paint or green tones, the subtlety of predominantly black curtains makes for an interesting contrast. Our collection of enchanting designs and patterns proves that black doesn't necessarily mean plain. Distinctive botanical designs come alive when partnered with green paint. Or counterbalance the intensity of black with a bright, fresh white paint that lifts the design.
Black curtains are especially at home in a contemporary setting, where the 'absence' of colour juxtaposes a monochromatic grey, marble or white palette. The effect can be particularly arresting in a living room or bedroom, where the hardness of an ultra-chic modern interior can be softened with black curtains embellished with subtle floral patterns. Alternatively, strong geometric designs capture that mid-century feel and work well with grey paint or pops of primary colour. Short-drop black curtains in a kitchen give a dynamic look and provide plenty of privacy. Adding blackout material also makes black curtains efficient in minimising background illumination from ruining a good night's sleep.
