Bright bedroom curtain ideas to liven up your home

Many design and decor blogs will tell you that your bedroom curtains need to be a sedate colour because they need to help you get into a restful frame of mind when you get into bed.

We’re flipping that notion on the head to point out that your curtains are likely the first thing you see in the morning, and they should invigorate and refresh you. Looking at brightly coloured curtains can help put you in a good mood for a vibrant day ahead.

Quick tips for using colourful curtains to brighten up your bedroom

Shades of purple aren’t the only curtain colours that can brighten up your space. The only limit to the colour you choose is your imagination. Here are some top bedroom curtain colour ideas.

Bring sunshine indoors with vibrant yellow

Yellow is associated with positivity, energy, and happiness. It can make your bedroom feel cheerful and welcoming. Light shades of yellow can create a soft, soothing ambience, while bolder yellows can add a vibrant pop of colour. A slightly brighter shade of yellow adds a refreshing burst of colour.

Let teal do the talking

Teal is a versatile colour that combines the calming aspects of blue with the energetic qualities of green. It can create a balanced and stylish look in your bedroom, adding a touch of both vibrance and peace.

Hot pink for a dramatic look

If you want a bold and dramatic look for your bedroom, consider going for hot pink or cerise curtains. They’ll add a fun and glamorous touch to your boudoir.

Embrace the energy of turquoise

Turquoise is a lively and vibrant colour that can bring a sense of energy and playfulness to your bedroom. It’s often used in bohemian-inspired or coastal decor.

Go tropical with coral

Coral is a warm and energetic colour that adds a touch of vibrancy to your bedroom. Not quite pink and not quite orange, coral will make your bedroom a space to remember.

Let lavender lull you to sleep

Lavender is a soft, romantic colour that can create a sense of serenity and a dreamy atmosphere. It’s a great choice for bedrooms where relaxation is a priority.

Put mint green in centre stage

Mint green is a colour that refreshes and soothes while simultaneously creating a cool, relaxing atmosphere in your bedroom.

Match the outdoors with sky blue

Light blue shades evoke feelings of calmness and tranquillity. It can make your bedroom feel serene and relaxing - and the added bonus is that it works well with various decor styles.

Use tangerine to make your bedroom stand out

Tangerine and bright shades of orange evoke the sunrise and sunset, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. They work especially well in bedrooms with a modern or eclectic style.

Your home should inspire you

Your bedroom is your home’s ultimate haven, and it should be a room that you love. By bringing in your favourite colour, you can make your bedroom a happy place to wake up in — and let the vibrancy of your bedroom curtains make the start of every day a good one.
