One of the most popular trends today has been the emergence of pink curtains to enhance a homes decor. While the color pink has connotations of femininity and all things delicate, it can serve to create a very stylish look, appealing to the masculine gender as well as the feminine. As of recent, pink has become one of the most popular colors of curtains to emerge and standing alone or when paired with coordinating colors can be come an integral part of a homes decor creating a very chic and stylish look.

Pink comes in various shade selections such as  pale pink which produces a sense of calm and serenity for a softer look and hot pinks and fuchsias or magenta which are deeper shades of pinks and will not give the  room a childish look. Neon pink injects vigor into the decor.  Color combinations that are striking with pink, are chocolates, grays, lime or darker greens and black or white. Orangey pinks such as corals and salmon shades are preferred for a more masculine decor.   Compliment your pinks with contrasting colors in the room such as plum or burgundy and you enhance the masculine look.

Because they typically occupy such a large space, curtains can become the focal point of your room. Decorating with pink colors is ideal for smaller spaces as it provides the illusion of a larger room.  Using full-length curtains gives the room the appearance of being higher. Insulate your curtains with thermal linings to keep you warm in winter.

If you want to be creative with your window treatments, look at using layers of different fabrics with shades of pink.  Use a roman blind in pink gingham as a first layer and then top this with pink drapes gathered to the sides of the window, which are never meant to be drawn. If using a combination pink with colors such as ivory, white and green, you can accent cushions and bed covers or even the carpet in pink for a creative designer touch. Softer pinks are ideal for nurseries or girls rooms and a softly gathered length of pink and white checked fabric can grace the heart of any county kitchen.

If you are in the market for pink window treatments, the variations and options are almost limitless. Do not restrict yourself to solid pinks; take advantage of the many patterns available such as stripes or florals. If your curtain is predominately in a coordinating color, add pink tiebacks to pull the colors together. Excellent resources to assist you in your choice before you shop are home decor magazines, home decor exhibitions, and if affordable the help of an interior designer.
