Help me shop for curtains, please

[Deleted]

Help me find curtains that would look good in our new living room.  We will have 9ft ceilings and big windows, want curtains to go to the floor.  Been looking around the internet but haven't found anything I love.
This is the couch we are getting:

and most likely a couple of these chairs from Ikea:

I immediately thought of these:

(these come in gold too)

Target also has these:

Hmmm.

There's these:

Or these:

Or you could go an entirely different direction:

I would love curtains in this print if I had those furniture! Can you sew? Or know someone who can make them for you?

I can't find anything else I love so far. I found bright yellow chevrons and Moroccan trellis print.. but meh.. they are so overdone. LOL!

I would try west elm. They also have longer lengths... (96 and and 108 inches) Sound like you are going to need the length. I like these.

I bought these from crate and barrel for my living room. They are ivory and a taupe gray, not charcoal gray like the picture. I love them!

Still looking, my H and I can't agree. I like some of the suggestions but he isn't sold.

What does your DH like? Pattern or no pattern? Maybe subtle pattern on a solid background?

[woodiedog]

I don't know if this is even close:

If you like it, they have curtains in that fabric.

Go to Countrycurtains.com and search on hatfield.

H likes subtle pattern, doesn't want to add too much color. But our house is new construction and the walls are beige, and most likely will stay the way for awhile. I don't feel like painting after all the work we put in to our old house to sell it but I want color. I like these colors:





For curtains he likes solid gray or the gray stripe. He likes this too but I'm not sure they will go with the chairs or if it will be too much yellow:

Love these! I have a Jacobean addiction, but I also think the pattern balances out the hard lines of the furniture, and cozies up the look of the room.

Oooo - great furniture.

I really like fun curtains, but my DH isn't in to them much. Could you get him to agree to something like this?



Also, are you near Ikea? B/c some of their panel curtains add some dimension without too much color. Or you can layer in some color. They are over 9-ft tall, so I think they'd work (you can cut them to size).

If you need/want something quick, but subtle, I like these ikat ones with yellow and gray from Target:
This design, but a softer color (see link)

These gray and beige ones might also look good and you can get them for $30/panel at Kmart:

Oh and don't discount Urban Outfitters - they sometimes have some ones that I like.

I was at Ikea over the weekend and spotted this fabric, which would make EXCELLENT curtains:



www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00228994/

I know it seems bright/bold, but they had some sewn/hung up as curtains and R, who is NOT a patterned curtain person, loved them. So much so that I'm pretty confident I'm going to end up ordering a bolt of the fabric for our living room.
