All curtains are expensive so it is important not to make major mistakes in your choice and have to buy your curtains again. With kitchen curtain colors you can not go too far wrong but do beware of making these errors when making your decision:-

1. Don’t Be Too Formal

   Kitchens are informal rooms and so kitchen curtains should match that informality. If you choose a very formal grand pattern then it will not look good in your kitchen (unless you live in Buckingham Palace and have a kitchen to match of course).

2. Don’t Get the Proportions Wrong

   If you have quite small windows (which is usually the case in a kitchen) then choose a small scale pattern otherwise you will make your windows seem even smaller and you will not get the effect of the whole pattern. If you have found a fabric you love with a large pattern think about having it made into a blind instead. You will then be able to see the fabric properly when the blind is down.

3. Don’t Be Too Dull

   If you have a stainless steel and white kitchen don’t get curtains which are plain gray or white. Inject a little interest with other colors. And if you have a wooden kitchen with beige tiles and beige flooring, don’t buy kitchen curtains in beige unless you want your kitchen to look the dullest of rooms. Use these neutral colors as a background for the fabric rather than as the sole color.

4. Don’t Get the Wrong Tone

   Colors are predominantly warm or cool in tones. If you kitchen is mainly warm tones then choose curtains in that tone and ditto with a cool tone kitchen. Warm tones are fall shades, cream and yellow whereas cool tones are bright and clear and include the neutral colors of white, black and gray.

5. Don’t Clash

   The colors in your kitchen curtains should not fight against the other colors in the room particuarly those near the window. Getting the color tone right helps of course but there are warm colors which clash with each other and cool tones which don’t go so well together either so you need to consider this too when choosing colors.

6. Don’t Be Afraid to Take Risks

   If you find a kitchen curtain fabric that you absolutely fall in love with then don’t worry that it is a bit unusual. It can be the making of your kitchen. Most of us play it safe when it comes to our home decoration, but it is the things with a big impact which we remember and love about a home.
