Gray is the color of unobtrusive respectable luxury, one of the leading colors in car design, household appliances and clothing and at the same time remains undeservedly underestimated in interior design. This happens because of the established cliches that everything gray is boring and monotonous. We will try to destroy these stereotypes and show how appropriate and harmonious well-chosen gray curtains look in any setting.

What is the color gray

First, let's figure out what the color gray is. It is obtained by mixing red, blue and green in equal proportions, has many shades ranging from white to black and is an achromatic color, which is characterized by the absence of a specific spectral hue. That is, at maximum saturation, gray turns into black, and at minimum it becomes indistinguishable - colorless.

There are not 50 shades of gray, as many believe, thanks to the famous film, but much more. IN color model There are 254 RGB, but it is believed that the human eye can distinguish about 500 shades of gray. And what beautiful names they have: pearl, ash, metallic, but the main ones among them are considered to be izbura and issinya. The first is identified with a gray hare and a wolf, the second with a gray horse, ashes and ash.

And if we talk about interior design, then Lately Against the background of the desire for everything natural and the ever-increasing popularity of rustic and eco styles, the trend is a harsh (raw and fresh) shade of gray: the color of rough cloth, hemp, undyed wool and unbleached linen.

How to choose the right gray curtains

The overall impression of the interior is not last resort depends on how harmoniously the colors of its main components combine with each other: walls, floors, textiles, furniture. The basic rule is that the base shade is first selected, and then all minor color combinations are selected to match it. With their help, an atmosphere is created, for example, calm and peaceful or cheerful and energetic. Gray is an ideal tool and works great both as a base color and as an additional companion color. And choose their shades to suit certain interior designers advise adhering to one of three methods of combining shades in a setting:

1. Monochrome.
2. Complementary combination.
3. A game of contrast.

Let's figure out how these methods work with gray curtains.

Monochrome (monochromatic) gamma

Just one small bright spot - a pillow on the sofa and the gray living room came to life and sparkled with colors

In this case, all the main components of the interior are painted in different shades of the same color, and color accents in the form of small accessories add vitality to the interior: pillows, posters, vases. From the description, it may seem that a room decorated in this way will look monotonous and boring, but this is a misconception that has nothing to do with reality.

Each color in the palette is represented by radically different shades, and such variability allows you to create an expressive and visually complete interior. If we talk about gray, then in a room decorated in this way, the curtains can be dark graphite, the wallpaper can be pearl, and the upholstery on furniture can be ashy.

The use of gray requires a sense of proportion, taste and professional flair. Each shade and color combination needs to be carefully thought through. Otherwise, instead of stylish and elegant, you will get an overly conservative and even dull environment.

Complementary color combinations

The gray color in this living room comes in many shades and is complemented by related color accents.

Interior design using this method involves using shades of different, but not contrasting (related) colors in the setting, located in one quarter of the color wheel. This creates a discreet and calm atmosphere in the environment. The main rule is a sense of proportion. To avoid the impression of an unfinished interior, designers advise not to use more than 5 colors in the decor.

Based on the method of complementary combinations, gray curtains go well with wallpaper painted in pink, yellow, purple, crimson and lilac tones. There is a lot of room for creativity and plenty of opportunities to create a unique, one-of-a-kind interior.

Next to cold shades, the gray color “warmers” and, conversely, when it comes into contact with warmer colors, it becomes colder. Therefore, color combinations are selected based on exactly what notes you want to give to the atmosphere.

A game of contrasts

Furniture facades with turquoise, a turquoise pillow on the sofa and green palm trees in tubs, green glass coffee table on a light gray and graphite background - classic example contrast games

Contrasting colors and shades are located in different quarters of the color wheel. At the same time, diametrically opposite shades are the most contrasting and inconsistent. The interior decorated in this way is characterized by expressiveness and a cheerful, energetic atmosphere. It is not suitable for rooms that require calm and concentration, such as the bedroom and office, but will be appropriate for play area in the nursery or in the kitchen.

Gray curtains in an interior built on contrasts are the ideal backdrop for any color combinations. They do not draw attention to themselves, do not distract from the main design idea and become an element that unites disparate color shades into a single harmonious picture.

Gray curtains in the interiors of different rooms

Gray has many shades and cannot be boring - the main thing is to correctly place the accents

As mentioned above, gray color is very diverse. The appropriate shade or combination can be selected for any room and for each interior style. Designers recommend:

• Light gray curtains are more versatile than dark ones. They can be combined with all shades and fit harmoniously into any environment, creating an atmosphere of calm and safety.
• Dark shades of gray are more difficult to combine, but they give more possibilities for combinations with the same rich colors and look good in the living room, hallway and kitchen.
• If the curtains are silver or pearl, then any nearby matte tones will look more shiny. If this doesn't suit you, choose a fabric with silver stripes or patterns on a matte background.
• So that the wallpaper does not visually merge with the curtains, and inner space the rooms did not look like a box, their shades should be different. The room will look more cheerful when the curtains are darker than the wallpaper, but more presentable when the wallpaper is darker than the curtains.
• To prevent a room with dark gray curtains from looking gloomy, choose upholstery on furniture that is several tones lighter. In addition, crystal and chrome accessories smooth out excessive darkness: chandeliers, vases, dishes, fittings.

Now let’s figure out how gray curtains look in interiors with photos of different styles. functional purpose rooms.

Cool Gray Curtain Ideas For Large Windows Modern Home Office Table

Curtains in a gray living room can be one of the main elements of the interior. In this article we will look at what shades of curtains are best to use, how to choose material for curtains, and whether they should have a pattern.

For a living room in shades of gray, well-chosen curtains can become a bright and central piece of furniture. They will be able to emphasize that this color can be beautifully played out and the room will not look gloomy at all. After all, there is a myth that gray colors are boring and ugly, and generally make you depressing. Therefore, many people have concerns about using this color in the interior.

But modern and elegant design It can even work out in a gray room look. It all depends on how well the interior is decorated and what tones of gray (silver, steel, wet asphalt, etc.) were used in conjunction with other colors.

Let's consider several color solutions

Gray is a rather complex color. Therefore, combining it with other tones must be approached very carefully. In the classic version of using this color in design living rooms A gray and white theme is used. White will add freshness and liven up a sad gray color and help it show off new shades. You just need to take into account a small note - it is better not to use snow white color, and white with yellow or off-white. These shades will not create too much contrast, but rather will be a good additional background for the gray color.

Warm and rich shades of curtains

Among these shades, designers highlight pink, peach, and yellow. These colors will dilute the gray shades of the living room, give the room some delicate and soft colors, and also make the guest room lighter and more comfortable. The design of curtains in such shades is not too deep, but at the same time it is quite not boring and playful.

Blue, lilac, soft green tones

Curtains in lilac and blue tones will fit especially well into the interior of the living room, which is located on the south side. This will help visually reduce the excess sun, as well as make the atmosphere in the room more calm. And pillows matching the color of the curtains will help the living room look perfect!

The soft green shade of the curtains when combined with the gray interior will provide you with an amazingly relaxing atmosphere. After all, green is not a contrasting color at all, but despite this, it perfectly highlights the gray tones in the interior.

Curtains in neutral colors

If you are very afraid of making a mistake with color, then there is the safest and most a win-win- These are curtains of nondescript shades. You definitely won't have any problems with them. Any tones, for example:

• sand;
• coffee;
• cream or beige.

These colors will fit perfectly and diversify a gray interior. With curtains of the listed colors you will get a stylish and calm decor. Another simple option for curtains in the living room is a combination of several tones of gray in the interior.

Gray curtains are an organic addition to gray walls. In this case, you need to use different tones of gray, for example, buy curtains several tones lighter than the walls, or hang curtains with a pattern in the color of the floor or furniture.

For lovers of non-standard solutions

Fans of extraordinary choices should choose black, purple, red, bright yellow, pink, and green textiles. Purple color creates a sophisticated look in the interior. Its combination with gray looks particularly impressive and interesting, and is also a good option for decorating a living room. Yellow and red are perhaps the boldest colors that will not only add a pop of color but also enliven the overall look of the room.

It is very important not to overdo it with the number of bright objects in the interior. If, for example, you hung yellow curtains, then think about whether you need a carpet or lamp of the same color. After all, with a large amount of a bright, interesting effect, you will not achieve it. Black color matches gray perfectly. Such interiors have a stylish look.

So, when creating a living room environment, there are many options for combining gray with other shades. But we recommend using one additional color rather than all of them. To achieve the most sophisticated, perfect interior, you need to use a little trick - a combination of light and dark shades.

Choosing material

The appearance of the curtains depends on the material made, so the choice of fabric is very important point creating an atmospheric composition of the room. To make the right choice, you need to consider several important factors:

• When choosing fabric density, be sure to consider how intense the sun's light enters the room. IN dark rooms It is worth hanging curtains from light transparent textiles so that they transmit natural light as best as possible;
• for sunny rooms, gray curtains with heavy material. They will not only protect you from the sun, but will protect the room from overheating;
• When choosing material for curtains, take into account the style features in the interior of the room;
• You also need to take a closer look at the texture of the fabric. After all, not everyone prefers shiny curtains that reflect color. And some people won’t like matte curtains, which, on the contrary, absorb light;
• You also need to consider the practicality of the fabric. How does it wash, is it difficult to remove stains from it, what is its resistance to sunlight and various other factors.

If you like thicker fabrics and are completely sure that they will suit your guest room, then choose from taffeta, tapestry, velvet and velor. For light curtains in the living room with poor lighting use organza, muslin or guipure.

Please note that fabric density has an impact on color perception! The higher the density of the fabric, the darker the gray color appears, even if the curtain of the lightest colors hangs on the window.

Drawing on curtains

In this matter, you can listen to your fantasies and desires. With the right approach, bows, decorations, and non-standard designs have the right to exist. But for wallpaper with one tone, you need to select curtains with a pattern. Natural motifs will fill the living room with romance, abstract patterns will make the room more stylish. A steel pattern on curtains of any color will add modernity to the interior.

The main thing is that the patterns on the curtains look harmonious. After all, an abundance of decor can completely ruin the impression of a room. Also note that in many cases the fabric material or drapery itself is a sufficient decoration.

Plain material without any patterns is much easier to combine with the decor of the room. But if you want to hang curtains with patterns, then you should take into account their appearance with patterns on wallpaper, carpets and furniture. For curtains in the living room, you can use various shades, both bright rich and calm neutral. Gray colors are also suitable, but please note that the tone of the curtains should not match the tone of the room.

When using rich shades for curtains, the main thing is to ensure that there are not too many bright interior elements in the room. When choosing fabric for curtains, you need to take into account the density of the fabric, the features of the furnishings, the texture of the textile and practicality. Whether there should be a pattern or pattern on the curtains is up to you. But to the living room with plain wallpaper We recommend using curtains with a pattern.
