The Bedroom Edit

Enhance the look further by adding a Roman blind in the same fabric. Here, Gotain’s blackout scallop-edge Roman blind is made in Dove Blue Stripe.

Wallpaper or wall paint in a similar tone to the curtains creates an even more cohesive look. Here, we have used our popular Sweet Pea wallpaper in Dove Blue from The Cottage Collection, created in collaboration with Boråstapeter.

Using the same colour throughout your curtain solution creates a striking effect. Few elements can transform a room as much as curtains in colour.

Consider the layout of the room when positioning the curtains. Here, all four curtains are hung with the front of the fabric facing the entrance, as this is the view you see when entering the room.

Coordinate the look with a bedthrow in the same fabric. Complete the bedroom with an off-white bouclé bedthrow for a cohesive and harmonious result.

Do not forget contrast. A predominantly light interior benefits from darker or more colourful details, such as artwork, a rug or decorative objects. Both black and colour add depth to an otherwise monochrome palette.

Use plenty of fabric to create generous waves behind the bed. We recommend two double-width curtains to achieve the full look shown in the images.

Introduce colour on a larger scale. Dove Blue adds warmth and a textile quality to the bedroom, making it a beautiful choice for framing the bed.

A similar effect can also be achieved without the curved sides. In this case, allow the curtains to extend at least 20 cm (7.9 in) beyond each side of the bed to create an enveloping look.

Sheer curtains allow natural light into the room while providing some privacy. For a darker bedroom, choose blackout curtains or combine sheer curtains with heavier curtains to create a layered, hotel-inspired look.

It depends on the atmosphere and function you want. Sheer curtains let in natural light while providing some privacy, where as blackout curtains are ideal if you want to make the room completely dark. Many people also combine different curtain types to create a layered, hotel-inspired look.
