Red Velvet Curtains

Red velvet curtains are an opulent and dramatic choice for any home. Red has many common associations with luxury, power and passion and combined with the beautiful feel and sheen of velvet makes these curtains a charming combination.

Red is a very flexible shade that can be united with many colours to create various looks. Pair red up with a simple matt or velvet black to produce a dramatic theatre-like feel; alternatively with gold to achieve a truly high class and sophisticated look. Or if you wanted to down play the luxurious side of red, combine it with whites and natural colours to still convey the beauty of red velvet without overpowering the feel of your room. Just imagine the soft gather of the smooth red velvet framing subtle cream wooden blinds.

Red evokes passion, heat and love – all things involved with energy and drive, so if you wanted a dulled down and simple room then red may not be the best option for you. However if you wanted a beautiful pair of curtains that will spice up your home and add some pizzazz, then these may just be the perfect pair for you.

Close associations with the colour red are ones such as: maroon, claret, strawberry, rose, plum, crimson, scarlet, mulberry, ruby, cerise, burgundy, cranberry, terracotta and cherry red.
