Possible types of colors and textures
Keep in mind that neutral colors give more freedom to decorate a more colorful setting, while brighter and more colorful tones help to give more joy and personality to the environment. It is important to note that darker and more intense tones tend to fade with sunlight as time passes, so you should also consider the intensity of light entering the room when deciding on curtain colors.
