What color curtains should we get?? ?

Question

My boyfriend and I recently put an offer in on a condo and it was accepted! This is our first place so we're both starting off with a whole lot of NOTHING! the only furniture we've got is what we had in our bedrooms at our parents house. (2 beds, 2 dressers...)....

We picked out a couch that we like and the color of the couch and love seat is going to be SAGE green.

The color of our walls will be a light sand color.

Our entertainment center for the TV is black as well as a small end table we have that we're going to sand down and paint black.

We have a sliding door that goes out to our deck. What color should the curtians be?? We're going to do the sourt of fancy curtian rod ....what color should that be? I was thinking the curtians should be sage green like the couch....

And maybe a black rod?? Or should we do a silver rod?? I dont want gold.

Answer 1

Black rod would be fine.  Curtains could be a pale sage color, in order to keep the basic color scheme - it'll probably be nearly impossible to exactly match the upholstery on the couch and love seat.  A near match is still a miss.  White curtains would also work.    

Answer 2

I would go with the sage green with a silver curtain rod

Answer 3

a sage green or a blue would be the best look but if you get a silver rod it would just blend in with the sandy colors of the wall and disappear...get a black rod to add more color.

Answer 4

if you can get a sage green that matches, I would go with that and a black rod.  Go to a paint store and get some paint chips and take home and see which one matches your couch the best, or compliments it nicely, then take the paint chips when you go curtain shopping.  or if you have arm rest covers take them with you shopping..in fact I am doing that right now as I go looking for a good drape color for my couch.
