Tell me do you like these curtains?

[hollydolly]

I have been searching for new summer curtains for my livinroom which has double aspect windows.., and for the first time, ready made. .. I was initially going to get a neutral or cream, and then I realised that my last summer curtains were plain cream/neutral , and the winter ones I have up now are heavyweight cream and red... so instead I looked at this pale grey patterned... lightweight...

My 3 walls in the livingroom, are white..above the dado rail and the palest of lemon underneath. My fourth wall is a feature wall and is wallpapered with Red wallpaper.. , my sofas are burgundy.. my sideboard is pale grey , and my carpet is beige... with beige and red rugs...

I've spent ages looking at various curtains, and their reviews... and have put a few in the virtual basket, but then I came across these grey... and I like them but I;m not sure about the colour grey... whaddya think ?

Oh I've just found another I like ...but these have no real reviews so it's hard to know if they're any good...

I like the second ones best, although it's hard to say without seeing the room how they'll go.

The beigy grass-pattern is nicer I think, than the gray.
Hard to tell unless in the room.

 

[AnnieA]

I like the OP gray better for summer.

Grey is the "in" colour now according to the designers. Good to know if you care about that stuff.

Go with what you like Holly. I will say though that grey pattern with a light off grey background wall and white woodwork looks smashing.

 

[Pink Biz]

Gray. Your sideboard is gray and there is some beige in the curtains as well to go with your rugs and carpet.

 

[hollydolly]

Thanks folks.. I like them both.. and grey has been in for a long time here.. and apart from the sideboard I've avoided grey because everyone else has it .. but I kinda like these grey curtains much to my surprise.. .. and I do like the rush grass pattern too.. so it's a difficult decision.. but I think I'm leaning towards the grey..

Like the first one.

I just saw them for a split second, from what I saw I liked the second ones the best. I couldn't stay on site without Accepting All Cookies demand, I rarely respond to such pushy mandates.

While I like the gray, the pattern is a little too busy for my taste. I do like the color, just not crazy about the pattern.
My choice would be the grass pattern. The site states "easy returns". Any chance of buying both and returning the one that does not work for you?

 

[Geezer Garage]

I think these are what you need.

yes I certainly could do that, and that's a good idea. I have deliberately chosen this Store because we have a branch in most of our towns, whereas somewhere like Wayfair who have some pretty curtains on their website , are only online and not easy to return items.

These curtains are for delivery only and not available instore, however I'm sure I could return them to the store if I need to...

thanks GG..I'll get those next time I need something for the kitchen.... NOT!!

@hollydolly with what you described your room to be, I would go with the 2nd set of curtains. Both are nice, but in my opinion the 2nd one would fit better with the room you described.

Same for me, except I can’t even get a glimpse.

 

[Pinky]

I like them both .. don't think you'd go wrong with either of them.

 

[hollydolly]

For those who can't get to see the pictures online.. here they are.. the first..

 

[hollydolly]

..and the second...

bear in mind in the above picture the furniture is dark , but in mine the furniture is light coloured, my walls are white (apart from one) and my carpet is beige...

Same here.

Thx HD...I prefer the first ones.
The first are a little more playful. More light and airy.
The 2nd, more formal. Dark.

 

[officerripley]

I like the 2nd one better but they're both nice. What are double aspect windows? I googled it and it just took me to double hung windows which I don't know what is either.

I have returned items to Wayfair. They have emailed me a prepaid UPS return label. Then I can select a UPS pickup, or take it to a UPS store or drop-off point. Here in NY most of the chain drugstores and office supply stores are drop-off points. So it's pretty convenient.

yes but I don't want the hassle of returning things by mail, Id rather just take them to the store.That way I know they've got them the same day and I can get my exchange or refund immediately

yes that's why I'm thinking the grey because they're for summer curtains.. I already have thickly lined black out curtains for winter in cream and red...
