If you’re trying to match curtains to soft furnishings but not sure where to start, you’re not alone. Creating a room that feels cohesive and styled doesn’t always require a full renovation — sometimes it’s as simple as coordinating your blinds, curtains, and accessories.
This guide is all about how to beautifully match curtains to soft furnishings like cushions, bedding, and upholstery to create a calm, cohesive, and considered home.
1. 🎨 Start with a Hero Fabric
Pick one patterned or textured fabric you absolutely love — maybe a floral curtain, a velvet Roman blind, or a linen-look roller blind. Then use that as your starting point.
Pull out 2 or 3 colours from that fabric and repeat them across your soft furnishings. Think scatter cushions, lampshades, rugs, or even headboards. This creates a look that feels put-together without being matchy-matchy.
Hot tip: We can often make cushions or pelmets to match your chosen fabric — just ask during your showroom visit!
2. 🧵 Use the Same Fabric in Different Ways
Want a designer look without a designer price tag? Use the exact same fabric for multiple elements.
Some of our customers choose a Roman blind in a printed fabric, then use the leftovers to make a couple of statement cushions. Others might match a curtain fabric with an upholstered bench seat or ottoman.
Using one fabric in multiple ways creates flow and makes the space feel more high-end.

3. 🛋 Match Texture, Not Just Colour
Don’t underestimate the power of texture. Velvet blinds paired with a velvet cushion instantly feel intentional. Same goes for linen, tweed, or bouclé.
This works especially well in neutral colour palettes, where the variety of materials keeps things interesting. So if you love beige, this is your moment to go full cosy-coordinated chic.

4. 🧡 Pick a Seasonal Accent Colour
Matching doesn’t have to mean permanent. You can swap out soft furnishings seasonally while keeping your window dressings consistent.
Say you have soft grey blinds or neutral curtains — pair them with burnt orange and rust cushions in autumn, and swap to blush pink or sage green in spring.
This allows you to keep your blinds or curtains timeless, while still playing with trends.
Just Blinds Tip: We keep plenty of neutral base fabrics in our showroom that pair easily with seasonal updates.
5. 🪟 Create a Layered, Boutique Feel
Some of the most stylish homes layer blinds and curtains together — and then tie it all in with accessories. A roman blind in a patterned fabric with plain side curtains and cushions in the same print? Instant boutique hotel vibes.
Want to go further? Try matching your tiebacks or trims with the piping on your cushions or the edges of your throw.
It’s the little touches that pull a room together — and we can help you get them just right.
