Colour, Pattern & Texture: Making Window Treatments Part of Your Style Story

Window furnishings do more than filter light — they frame the personality of your home. The right mix of colour, pattern, and texture can completely transform a room, adding warmth, depth, and character.

At MG Curtains & Blinds, we see every project as an opportunity to tell a story through fabric and finish. Here’s how to make your curtains, blinds, or shutters a seamless part of your home’s style narrative.

Choosing Colours That Complement Your Space

Colour sets the mood — and when it comes to window treatments, it can make a space feel calm, cozy, or confidently bold.

• Neutral tones for timeless appeal: Whites, greys, and beige tones blend effortlessly with most interiors. They’re ideal for open-plan living or when you want your furnishings to feel understated and elegant.

• Warm hues for comfort: Soft terracotta, warm taupe, or blush tones add a sense of cosiness and pair beautifully with timber accents.

• Cool shades for calm: Blues, greens, and charcoals create a relaxed and refreshing atmosphere — perfect for bedrooms or coastal-inspired homes.

• Bold contrast: Use strong colour contrasts to frame your windows and draw the eye. Deep navy or forest green curtains can add luxury to otherwise neutral rooms.

💡 MG Tip: Always view fabric samples in natural daylight within your space — colours can look dramatically different under artificial lighting.

Playing with Pattern: When to Go Bold or Keep It Subtle

Pattern can bring personality, but balance is key.

• Go bold when:

– The rest of your décor is neutral or minimalistic

– You want to create a focal point in a room

– You’re highlighting a particular era or design trend (e.g. mid-century, art deco, coastal boho)

• Stay subtle when:

– You already have patterned rugs, cushions, or wallpaper

– The space is small and you want it to feel open and calm

– You’re designing for longevity — classic over trendy

From geometric prints to soft florals, MG Curtains & Blinds can help you find patterns that reflect your personality without overwhelming the space.

Texture: The Secret Ingredient in Interior Design

Texture brings depth, dimension, and interest — even when you’re working with a simple palette.

• Smooth fabrics (like cotton or polyester blends) offer a clean, modern finish that’s perfect for minimalist interiors.

• Textured weaves (linen, slub, jacquard) create warmth and tactility — beautiful in living rooms and bedrooms.

• Pleats and folds add softness and movement, especially for larger windows or high ceilings.

• Layering textures — pairing sheer curtains with heavier drapes — adds sophistication and flexibility in light control.

💡 MG Tip: Texture isn’t just about look — it’s about feel. When choosing fabrics, run your hand over the samples. The way it feels should match the mood of your space.

Matching Style to Function

The most beautiful window treatment still needs to work for your lifestyle.

• Busy family home? Durable, easy-clean synthetics are your best friend.

• Formal lounge or master suite? Opt for luxury with lined linen or velvet.

• Light-filled living area? Combine sheer fabrics with blockout linings for control and flexibility.
