Blue: A Perennial Favorite

Someone once complained to us that pretty much every time we talk about colors and inspiration; there is some shade of blue that finds its way into the discussion. That is definitely not wrong and it is a feature that is bound to continue for a long time! Blue is arguably the most loved color when it comes to the decorating world. Its flexibility and ease make it such a big hit. Drapes in blue can either blend in with the already blue backdrop or stand out visually when used with white and light gray walls. There are no style constraints here blue drapes with right pattern go along with every style you can imagine.

Still Staying with Gray

While gray is not showing any signs of fading out just yet, we do believe that the color is close to the end of its dream run that started nearly a decade ago. But gray drapes are still a bankable and trendy addition that will serve you well for the next few seasons. Depending on the style of the room and more importantly the amount of light it receives, you can choose between light and dark hues of gray. Be it as a polished accent feature or a smart backdrop that allows other accents to shine through, gray works well everytime.
