Creams
Cream is a heavily saturated colour – it makes for the ideal background to a room, particularly if it’s a place where there are prominent pieces of furniture or areas which will naturally draw the eye, such as fireplaces or beams or areas of structural interest. In such a case you do not want your walls or made to measure curtains competing for attention with the natural beauty of the home and, as such, it’s important that they provide a strong base of colour but do not attempt to drown out the attractive noise emanating from elsewhere in the design.
Cream coloured made to measure curtains, in our range, go from bright Bloomsbury, bursting with life in a sizzling butter cream colour to staunchly traditional light designs in the form of our Cambridge and Kendal styles. The Lisa range, too, also offers a traditional thick look, but does not crowd a room or restrict the effect of light.
Whilst cream is famous for being inoffensive and has the ability to act as a background colour in most room designs, it is still important to consider the colour of other furnishings when using it as a made to measure curtain colour. If you are using something quite default for the curtains, ensure that you have a focal point elsewhere. Or, in another scenario, ensure a gradation of change between shades to guarantee that your visitors don’t feel like they have stepped into an immaculate clean room – you need them to feel warm and at home, not sterile.
But with a little thought, it’s clear to see why cream is such a popular colour – it’s versatile and provides a strong complementary colour presence when needed.
