Jewel Tones

Jewel tones add a richness and depth to any room. Many people stick with neutral colors as they are safe and go with most decor. However, to create a modern decor in your room, hang window treatments in colors such as turquoise or deep red. Keep the rest of the room simple but with accents of the jewel tones used for the window coverings.
Layer
-
Layer window coverings in multiple colors. For example, hang up black-out curtains and then hang a standard colored curtain over it. Use any color that you like, including blue or green. Another option is to hang sheer, white curtain panels behind a brightly patterned curtain. Some ideas for the design on the curtains are damask or paisley patterns.
