Bright Red Curtains at Ikea for Bold Rooms

Red curtains make a powerful design statement, injecting energy, warmth, and drama into any space they adorn. This bold color choice ranges from deep burgundies that evoke old-world luxury to bright scarlets that create modern vibrancy. Red’s psychological impact—associated with passion, excitement, and warmth—makes it particularly effective in living rooms and dining areas where stimulating conversation is desired. The color’s intensity can be balanced with neutral walls and furnishings or embraced fully for maximalist impact. Practical considerations for red curtains include selecting fade-resistant fabrics, as bright reds can be susceptible to sunlight bleaching over time. Many high-quality red curtains use solution-dyed fabrics or UV-protective linings to maintain their rich hue. Red works beautifully with various materials—velvet for opulence, linen for casual elegance, or silk for formal spaces. When paired with metallic accents like gold or brass hardware, red curtains achieve especially luxurious effects. This versatile color can read as traditional in dark tones or contemporary in bright shades, adapting to diverse interior styles while always commanding attention.

And you’ll shake your finger at my flippant measuring, cutting and method for creating a window treatment. And you’ll probably go away thinking I really need a clue. So, if you’re of the needles, bobbins, threading sort…I still want you to like me, so don’t read this. Okay? Okay. Where we began…I had these valances that I attached with my granny’s old door knobs. I liked it for about a month. And then I just thought it looked kind of sloppy and was constantly apologizing for it. And I’m pleased to say that it now looks like this! {I still need something up top…maybe a cornice, or just a piece of art or something.} The closed version. I started by hanging my hardware (I was actually kind of proud of myself…I didn’t need the hub’s help!) One t
ip we always end up needing…always close your drains when working with hardware around your sink…you can see why! 😉 I determined from the size of my window that I wanted a little less than 24 inches in length. To cut my fabric, I laid it out on my tile floor (my tiles are 12\
