Choosing the color of your soundproof curtains

Published by Mélodie, Acoustic Engineer and Writer at Sound Escape.

Soundproof curtains are often associated more with functionality than aesthetics. However, there’s no reason why these useful curtains can’t also be a stylish addition to your decor. One of the most influential aspects of your curtains’ appearance is undoubtedly the color.

In this article, we explore how to choose the ideal color for your soundproof curtains so that they perfectly harmonise with your space.

Understand the Basics of Color

Understanding the basics of color is essential for making an informed choice. Warm colors like red, orange, and yellow bring a welcoming atmosphere, while cool colors like blue, green, and purple give a sense of calm and serenity. Neutral colors are ideal for making curtains discreet and creating a modern interior.

Choose a palette that matches the overall mood of the room where you’re installing the curtains.

Coordinate with Existing Elements

Consider the colors already present in the room. If you have neutral walls, you might opt for soundproof curtains with bright colors to add an element of visual interest. Conversely, if your space already contains many colors and patterns, curtains in neutral or pastel tones can help balance the ensemble.

Play with Contrasts

Good design isn’t afraid of contrast. Dark curtains against a light background or vice versa can create an interesting focal point in the room. However, make sure the contrast isn’t too jarring, which could make the space chaotic rather than harmonious.

Avoid “Trendy” Colors

If you closely follow interior design trends, you might be tempted to choose fashionable colors. While this can refresh your space, keep in mind that trends change. Opt for colors that have aesthetic longevity or personal significance to you.
