Are patterned curtains a good idea?
Of course patterned curtains are a good
idea! For one thing, when styled properly, they can stop your interiors being
too bland. But, although they add impact and warmth to a space, checked and
striped curtains can clash with other furnishings if you’re not careful.
Ideally, you should stick to a design
scheme when picking out your curtains. Whether the room in question is contemporary
or traditional, boho chic or more minimalistic, make sure the curtains you select
add to the style rather than taking away from it.
How do I choose curtain patterns?
Colour and the room’s atmosphere are key
when it comes to choosing curtain patterns. As an example, quirky contemporary rooms
would be better suited to brightly coloured stripes, a modern space would benefit
from stripes in a more neutral palette, and traditional rooms often look great
with a colour-coordinated check.
In short, it’s all about finding a
pattern that will elevate the look and feel of your interiors. With our on-trend
range of checked and stripe curtains, Matalan will help you finish off your
bedroom, lounge or other living space in a style that really makes the space
sing.
What should curtains match?
Wondering what in your space your
curtains should match? Well, it depends on the room. Match a checked pattern to
the colour of the home accessories in a grand living room, a muted stripe to light
walls, or introduce bold, standout stripes for added quirky style.
Matching your curtains with something
else in a space is the best way to ensure the rooms stays stylish and cohesive.
That’s why curtains are so important – and they become even more so when you
have large windows, or a lot of windows lining the walls!
What goes with striped curtains?
While it’s safest to coordinate your
striped curtains with some of the tones in your living space, it’s also
possible to mix and match patterns for a bolder, more eye-catching effect. Think
cushions or furniture adorned with florals, geometrics, and other stripes in complementary
shades.
As well as a stylish selection of
patterned curtains, you can also find a huge variety of home accessories in a
range of designs and colours, right here on the Matalan website! Ideal for DIY
home decorators with a creative eye, there are plenty of cushions, throws,
lamps and other furnishings that you can mix and match with your checked or

How to style check curtains?
Ideal for traditional interiors and more rustic spaces too,
check curtains are a timeless classic that will add interest to rooms with
solid colour schemes, or bring depth to more richly coloured spaces. Whatever
the style, though, they always add a feeling of warmth to the atmosphere.
