How to Match Indoor Awning Curtains

Give your home a touch of Parisian flare or a whimsical look with indoor awning curtains. These curtains hang from the top of a window frame, creating an eye-catching tented look, similar to the curtains that hang over awnings of cafes. When selecting your indoor window awning curtains, consider your taste and the style of the room to choose a treatment that adds to the appeal of the space.

      Match the window curtains to the colors on the walls. Take a paint chip that matches the paint or a swatch of the wallpaper on the wall with you while shopping for your curtains. Hold the paint chip or wallpaper swatch up to the curtains to match the colors of the fabric and the walls.

      Take a digital photograph of the room you will be hanging the curtains in. Compare the photograph to the curtains to find a fabric that matches the color scheme and the style of the room.

      Bring samples home. Visit a home supply store and select a variety of samples that you think will go with the color and look of the room you will be putting the curtains in. Hang the samples up over the windows. Choose the sample that best matches the look and color scheme of the room.
