On My Radar: Bold Solid Drapery


 

Bright bold solid drapery is totally on my radar these days.  I especially love it in a semi-neutral very traditional space, where the strong saturated color almost feels mismatched with it's surroundings.  As in, "Oh my! Are those PINK drapes?!!"  :)   That jolt of unexpected color brings so much drama!  And, I kind of love the tension that comes with it (especially in traditional interiors).  This image above from Mary McDonald is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.  I mean, how gorgeous is that home?  The coral hue of the drapery is just spellbinding, isn't it?  Ugh, so good. 

Here are a few more images that I'm pinning for future projects.  Such great inspiration.  I'm especially drawn to the Kelly greens, coral pinks, and sunny yellows.

  1. I love, love, LOVE the first image! So unexpected in such a traditional space. This makes me want to have a coral drapery in my house...

  2. Both the yellow and green one look very appealing to the eyes. It somehow gives off a very vibrant feeling, which is perfect for your living set area. For your room, I hope you consider getting a dark red/brown mixture to set a warm and cozy mood. Good day, Kelly!
