Bold curtain fabric for a bright living room
A bold, floral fabric will give your living room an instant update and make a fabulous feature of your window, and there are lots of ways to use it effectively. Choose a contemporary heading such as eyelets or a simple pencil pleat heading and hang from a curtain pole. Useneutral tones for the rest of the room, for example paint your walls in a pale emulsion and use a plain upholstery fabric for your chairs. A pale wood such as ash or beech would be a good choice for lamp and coffee tables. To accessorise select some colours from your curtain fabric for cushions.
