Shades of red
Maroon and burgundy are deep and formal, brick or rust red is warm and earthy and bright red is bold and energetic. Choose deep reds for large formal rooms and brighter reds for accents.

Velvet gives red depth and richness, satin gives sheen and cotton or poly blends suit casual rooms. Heavy fabrics hold dark red well and hang elegantly.

Matching walls and furniture
Red goes with cream, ivory, gold, grey and dark wood. Avoid red curtains against pink or orange walls, and keep other colours quiet so red leads. Use warm lighting.
Formal and festive use
Red curtains suit drawing rooms, dining rooms, bridal bedrooms and event spaces. In small bedrooms, deep red can feel heavy, so choose lighter tones or use sheers.
Fading and sun
Red dyes can fade in strong sun, so use lining and high-quality dyed fabric. Rotate or replace curtains that fade unevenly.
Stitching and care
Full-length, lined curtains with weights look best. Vacuum gently and dry-clean velvet. Fitting should be done by a trained fixer, and the window frame, wall and fixing points checked for strength first.
Before you decide
Use deep reds in large rooms, line the curtains against fading and keep other colours calm. Ask the seller for a fabric sample to hold against your window, confirm the width and colour fastness in writing and agree a return policy for unused fabric. Measure the window or opening twice, order a small sample or a single panel first if the job is large, compare at least two quotes on the same specification of fabric, hardware and fitting, and keep the invoice and warranty card. Confirm delivery and fitting dates in writing, check the finished work in daylight and at night, and ask the supplier what happens if the colour or size differs from the sample. Prices change with fabric costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
