Some curtains to match this wallpaper....

blue_monkey_2

I've spent hours looking and cannot find anything - ideally I do not want to pay more than £35. Drop is 72" or 90" and width 5 1/2 foot.

I have bought this wallpaper: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.210-8591.aspx it is for a feature wall, on another wall, under the window we have painted the large radiator black, other 3 walls are cream.

The black paper has ivory flowers with gold/beige buds.

Can someone help me find something to go with the paper please. I have children and 2 largish dogs so not sure cream as the base colour would be the best choice.

Thanks.

I think you'll need to say where you live. I could tell you a good little shop in St Helens but it's not worth the journey from Hertfordshire.

Oh yes, I live in the East/North Herts area. I don't want to make them, I need ready made - sorry, thought I said that, I have no chance of making them, LOL. I have been to Dunelm and The Range today and there is nothing at all except block back curtains which I was trying to avoid. I've looked online at Tesco, Debenhams, Very, Next, JL, Bargain Crazy and more. I am going to have a look at the link in post 2, thanks.

Would these go with the wallpaper? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/curtains-66-x-72-black-/320863698068?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6955423020127890312

Interior design is not my strongest, LOL.

black is as bad (if not worse) than cream/ivory for showing up muck especially pet hair.

What about these here at argos - although £45 not £35.

TBH not where I would normally get curtains from but I like the reverse of the flower design in that on your wallpaper the background is black, on these it's the flowers that are and there's not too much black which could make the room a bit odd. I think black is one of those colours that you either use it sparingly or you go all out.

Having had a look at these - my answer has to be NO! To be frank, they are a tad ugly (but thats just my opinion) and the colours wouldn't work. So for your sake I'm glad she's in the north-east and will only allow collection in person

Plain embossed cream would be my choice with lots and lots of pleating. 72" long if your dogs are not very tall lol.

You really couldnt put another pattern in the room.
If you could get exactly the same pattern as the wall paper, that would be okay.

LOL, I did say it wasn't my strongest point!! I did see the collection only thing but was trying to broaden my horizons!! LOL.

The curtains are not going against the papered wall, they are going against a cream wall, do you think cream on cream would go? I was going to get a colour to break it up a bit - and then thought a different colour would break up the black/cream that we have.

Personally I like the argos ones I linked to (how odd is that!) because they would tie in the colours in the wallpaper with the rest of the room and as you've painted the radiator under the window black I think you need some black in the curtains to balance that out.

Best thing to do if possible and you can go out to look at curtains is take a sample of wallpaper and paint colour and compare them together.
