Window Treatment Colors to Match Gray Walls

The color gray often gets a bad rap for being a dark, gloomy shade. In practice, it’s one of the most versatile neutral colors around, with tones ranging from charcoal to pewter and numerous hues in between. If you already have gray walls but aren’t sure how to choose matching window treatments, let the team at Creative Window Fashions give you a hand.

Go Bold with Black

If your walls are a soft, smoky shade, black accents like bedroom furniture will give your room a relaxed, urban vibe. Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery using black fabric will tie the whole room together while adding a large area rug with subtle touches of color will keep your room's overall aesthetic from being too dark.

Neutrals with a Twist

Pairing a neutral color, such as a rich cream, with deep charcoal creates an unimaginable level of elegance and style. The addition of an abstract pattern enhances visual interest and gives the space a bit of whimsical flair. Drapes are always an excellent choice for this look, or you can go with Designer Roller Shades for a more contemporary vibe.

Endless Undertones

Shades of gray are available with endless undertones from blue to soft pink and lavender. Light gray walls with blue undertones and darker gray curtains create contrast and draw the eye toward the window, which makes the room feel more open. Some people are put off by the starkness of too many cool undertones, but this is easily remedied with warm accents in colors like yellow or burnt orange. Brass or copper hardware also warms up this look without clashing.

Match it Up

Tonal looks ooze a sense of luxury. Match your window treatments with your walls and up the style ante with sumptuous velvet drapery. If a total tonal aesthetic isn’t for you, opt for bedding in a secondary with the same undertones as the shade of gray. Royal blue is an outstanding choice that will blend well with your walls and drapes.

Pretty in Pink

Since gray is as versatile as shades of white or beige it looks lovely paired with any color, including pinks and reds. Use a subtle shade, like dove gray, as an ideal backdrop for a bold print. The flat panel construction of  Vignette® Modern Roman Shades makes them an excellent choice for showcasing statement prints. Treat your windows to a little something special with a selection from The Alustra® Collection of Vignette. The exclusive collection features high-end textiles with interesting color and fabric combinations. Specialty hardware options mirror the look of today’s most upscale design fixtures for the perfect finishing touch.
