In the White Room With Black Curtains. . .

    
       
(Don't you just love when your blog post topic matches up perfectly with song lyrics?!)


While I'm often using curtains to lighten and brighten spaces, lately I'm really drawn to the drama black curtain panels can add to a space.  To pull off this look, I think it really comes down to contrast.  I love the crispness of these "white rooms with black curtains":

This is an interesting look of mixing panels.  Not sure I'm completely sold.  What do you think?


 


And, if the idea of black curtains freaks you out a little but you still want to add some contrast, this is one of my favorite tricks.  (We recently did something similar in my online client Camille's living room).




How do you feel about black curtains?  Glam or too goth?
