What is Color Blocking Drapery?

Color block curtains feature panels with distinct sections of contrasting colors like black & white, navy & pink, gray & yellow - the options are endless! The color blocks create an eye-catching, modern pattern when hung on the windows.

Color blocking adds more visual interest than plain solid curtains. And it makes a much bolder style statement than basic printed drapes.

Key Benefits of Color Block Curtains

There are many great reasons to consider using block color curtains in your home:

• Modern, on-trend look - Color blocking is a popular contemporary decorating style that feels fresh and current. They create a modern geometric appearance.

• Draws attention - The contrasting styles immediately attract the eye to the window area.

• Visually expands space - Strategic color placement can make rooms appear larger.

• Adds warmth - Dark color blocks can make rooms feel cozier.

• Allows natural light - Light blocks let daylight filter into the room.

Styles of Color Blocking Drapery Panel

Color block curtains come in a few popular arrangements. Determine which placement you like best before choosing your drapes.

Geometric 

The most common approach is geometric style. This uses clean lines and distinct color shapes such as squares, rectangles and triangles.

Geometric blocking makes a bold statement and pairs well with modern décor.

Ombre 

Ombre color blocking features a gradual blending of color for a softer, more whimsical style. The color transitions beautifully down the curtain length.

Ombre color block drapes work in romantic or bohemian rooms.

Two-Tone Color Blocking

The most common ombre color blocking uses just two colors for high contrast interest. Typically one color takes prominence at the top while the second color increases intensity further down the drapes.

Two-tone blocking makes a subtle statement perfect for transitional spaces.

Multi-Color Drape

For more vibrancy, some color block curtains incorporate three or more contrasting hues. Different widths, placements and combinations provide lots of variety.

Vibrant multi-color blocks energize any room with their jazz and spirit. Kids' rooms are especially fun!

Blackout Curtains

For bedrooms, home theaters, or rooms needing a darkened environment, color block blackout curtains allow you to block light while still making a style statement.

Color block blackout curtains feature opaque, light-blocking fabrics in lively color combinations like:

• Bold black and white geometric blocks
• Cool tones like navy and gray
• Warm shades like burgundy and brown
• Whimsical ombre fading blocks

Vibrant color blocked blackout curtains keep the room dark and distraction-free with a lively pop of color.

How to Choose For Your Window

Selecting the right color block curtains for your home involves some thoughtful consideration.

Consider the Style of Your Home

Think about the existing decor and aesthetic in the room.

• For modern spaces, choose bold geometric color blocks in contrasting shades. Black & white is a popular modern combo.

• In traditional rooms, opt for classic color pairings like navy and ochre or soft green and tan.

• For eclectic or bohemian décor, try ombre curtains with whimsical color blends.

Matching the color blocking to your interior style results in a cohesive look.

Choose the Right Color Fabric and Palette

Determine which color combinations best suit the room. If your walls, furniture or artwork feature a prominent color, match one block to that shade. Neutrals like white, tan and gray make good base colors. Then contrast with brighter accent colors.

Consider the mood you want to set as well - warm tones are cozy while cool shades feel more refreshing.

Linen and cotton offer beautiful draping and breathability. Or for bedrooms and media rooms, choose thicker opaque fabrics or lined drapes to fully block light and soften sound.

Think About the Function

Know how you’ll use the curtains before selecting fabrics. Lightweight linen or cotton works well for most rooms, but bedrooms and media spaces may require room darkening and noise-dampening fabrics to block light and muffle sound.

If you need bedroom curtains, choose thicker, lined curtains over sheers to provide privacy. And check that any prints or vivid colors won’t clash with wallpapered focal walls or distract from TV viewing.

Where to Hang Color Blocking Curtains

Color block curtains provide beautiful style and pop to numerous rooms including:

Living Room

Accent your seating area with color block drapes hung wide to balance out larger living room proportions. Choose colors that complement your existing furnishings.

Bedroom

Make a bedroom more interesting by framing the windows with vibrant ombre or multi-color curtain panels.

Choose curtains with blackout lining or thermal curtains for privacy. Softer tonal color blocks also help bedrooms feel peaceful and relaxing.

Home Office

Energize your workspace with invigorating color block prints. Opt for natural linen to still allow refreshing natural daylight into the room.

Playroom

Have fun with bright and cheery multi-color block drapes in kids’ spaces like playrooms. The vibrant hues encourage creativity and imagination.

Tips for Styling Color Blocking Curtains

A few key decorating strategies help color block curtains make maximum visual impact:

Use Curtains to Create a Focal Point

Drawing the eye to the window area helps spaces feel more expansive and brightly-lit. Hang wide curtain rods that extend about six inches wider than the window frame on either side.

Floor-length drapes in vibrant shades command attention.

Mix and Match Patterns and Textures

Layer sheer patterned curtains behind bold color block drapes for an eclectic style statement. Introduce natural textures like bamboo shades for warmth and depth.

Accessorize with Pops of Color

Carry accent colors from the curtain blocks into other accessories like pillows, area rugs and lamp shades for a pulled-together look. Contrast with black and white artwork or accessories so colors sing.

Shop Custom Size Curtains
