Since curtains tend to draw the eye, they can be a great way to set the tone in any room.

Consider how you want your space to feel, and snag a set of curtains that gets you there. If a room starts to feel too sleek, cozy it up with a set of printed curtains.

By sticking with a traditional print—like a delicate floral—you can score some classic countryside charm.

Add Texture With a Woven Roman Shade

In farmhouse design, you’ll find all kinds of different textures—shiny metals, rustic woods, cozy textiles, and more.

So why not let your window treatments in on the fun? Add some texture to your space by hanging a woven Roman shade over your kitchen window.

In addition to helping you block out that late afternoon sun, the shade should add a dose of rustic flair to your space.

Keep It Simple With Sleek White Drapes

White curtains make a classic addition to any home, and they should look particularly good in a light-filled modern farmhouse.

The sleek curtains should blend right in with crisp white walls, and thanks to their traditional feel, the curtains should also play well with the most rustic elements in the room.

Add a Pop of Color to Your Kitchen

Curtains can be a great way to add a pop of color to a room, and that pop of color can be as subtle or as striking as you want it to be.

For a softer approach, consider pairing a white-filled interior with a pastel Roman shade.

Since the curtain’s color will be pretty light, it should add interest to your space without overwhelming your palette.

Hang Your Curtains From a Branch

Want to go all in on rustic style? Hang your curtains from a branch. Scour your backyard for suitable sticks.

Then, hang each stick above a similarly sized window. Depending on how your sticks are shaped, you may be able to mount them on curtain rod brackets.

You can also try suspending them from ceiling hooks and ribbons.

Bring a New Pattern Into Your Space

Your curtains don’t have to match anything else in the room. So don’t be afraid to play with new patterns and colors.

Use your existing space as a starting point.

Then, look for colors and prints that will complement what you already have.
