Wallpaper and bedding are two great sources to draw inspiration from. Consider using the same fabric for your duvet cover and your bedroom window curtain. If you can’t duplicate a specific pattern, use layered curtains with various fabrics to recreate the color scheme as a whole.

Bedroom Curtain Ideas FAQ

Should bedroom curtains touch the floor?

There is no hard and fast rule for how long window curtains should be. While one room might be perfect for extra-long drapes, another might work with shorter curtains.

In most cases, full-length curtains should barely graze the floor. Hanging your bedroom curtains above the floor will prevent bunching and limit the dust and dirt that collects on the edge.

What is the best type of curtain rod for bedroom windows?

As long as the curtain rod is the right size, is securely installed, and matches the rest of your bedroom decor, pretty much any style will work. With that said, some curtain rods are better at blocking out the outside world than others.

If you rely on curtains to keep headlights, street lamps, and sunlight out of your bedroom, invest in a wraparound curtain rod. This style of curtain rod prevents unwanted light from seeping in around the edges. It’s perfect for use with a blackout curtain.
