You love color, but you don't want to be too 'loud' with your hue choices. This is especially true for your living room, where you want to have certain personality but not be too ostentatious in style. If you love vibrant, eye-catching colors that demand attention, here are ways you can add them to your windows to jazz them up without making them steal the show.

Choose modern colors that blend

Pick shades and curtains in beautiful, contemporary hues that blend well with other drapery. An example would be turquoise, which blends evenly with sheer shades in gold, copper, or even charcoal gray. Another bold and modern shade to work with is eggplant, which merges beautifully with mint curtains for a classic yet forward look.

Go with patterns

If you don't want to commit to a deep and bold curtain color, stick to your classic patterns instead. Chevron, polka dots, or even vines interwoven in the overall design of your drapes help break up very vibrant hues such as rich pink, blood orange, or even magenta without compromising their stunning appeal. If you don't want to choose an actual pattern for your curtains, consider textured materials for your shades instead to help break up monotonous color. Textured materials in stripes or subtle floral designs can make very bold hues, such as black, coffee brown, or royal purple, stand out all by themselves without being overwhelming in your living room.

Don't be afraid to contrast

Pastels and their richer counterparts are absolutely perfect for each other when it comes to color matching. Petal rose matches well with a deeper pink or even red hue, while navy merges great with baby blue. Goldenrod pairs well with sherbet yellow or even a lighter orange or peach color. You can even work with black as your main color, matching it with charcoal or ocean gray to mix things up and stick to your favorite hues without compromising color. Contrasting colors work well for large or tall living room windows that require a lot of material to cover them.

Whether you want to brighten up your living room with stunning color or you simply want to try something new, there is no reason why you can't be bold with your design. If you use the right color and pattern combinations, you won't need to worry about making the rest of your living room decor look lackluster in appearance. You can have the colorful living room you've always wanted without taking away from the rest of your home's style.
