2021 Modern Curtain Trends & Ideas by Curtain Library

Ready to be the envy of your friends for having the most well-furnished home with up-to-date curtains? Let Curtain Library’s experts swoop in to the rescue with our prediction of what the next big trends for 2021 will be.

Here’s the deal, we’re challenging you to do more than just staying neutral.

Homeowners like to stick to the basics when it comes to picking their curtains. They tend to pick neutral, soft, earthy colours only because it’s a safe choice. Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE how flexible a grey, beige, or silver curtain can be when styled right. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do much when it comes to bringing out your personality!

“We noticed that in the past few years, the most influential theme in the soft furnishings industry was the concept of minimalism with an earthy twist. It’s a very evergreen look- but a lot of new homeowners want to start exploring patterns and colours now. With a little help from Curtain Library’s consultants, we were able to help guide our clients to make bolder and fashion-forward choices” says Benson Ng, CEO of Curtain Library.

Instead of the usual muted look, go for something more vibrant, patterned, and future-forward!

1. Get lively, it’s all about the vibrant colours that make a statement.

The best way to reinvent the way you live is by having a lively curtain set that makes you feel energised every time you glance over to them. In the photo taken from our 222 Residency project, we introduced a turquoise look for the master bedroom.

The new 2021 trend is to switch up the look of your home by injecting a bit of colour- go brighter, go bolder! Gone are the days of curtains that blend into the background, it’s way more exciting to let them take the center stage. Curtain Library’s consultants advise that you look at the existing colour palette in the room and consider colours that will have your curtains make a distinct contrast to really catch someone’s attention when they first enter the room.

2. Add a little spice with extravagant textures and patterns.

The next big trend we see with the trendiest curtains of 2021, is a curtain set with AMAZING patterns. You see, boldness isn’t limited to just vibrant colours. Our consultants advise that neutral coloured fabric with subtle patterns are able to let curtains look “dressed up”, without coming off as too much. Not only do they look pretty, but they also add texture to the interior of the room. You don’t have to get curtains made of linen or cotton either- new polyester fabrics are able to copy the weave of various traditional fabric too! Not to mention, they are also lightweight enough for you to easily take down for cleaning!

As seen in our Kaleidoscope Setiawangsa Residency and Vista Residences project, a few patterns here and there never hurt anybody and certainly gives the home an elegant and modern touch.

3. Get the best of both worlds with Dual-Tone curtains.

Have a lot of fabric patterns and colours that you simply can’t pick between? It’s not a problem! Honestly, the main thing about 2021 is that you get to express yourself. You don’t have to stick to just picking bold colours or just picking curtain patterns when you can have both!

This trend is something we noticed when more of our clients began requesting for the option to mix and match their favourite fabrics and patterns! This essentially creates a completely unique curtain set that suits their individual personalities and tastes. Internationally, the use of dual-tone fabric is already a widely accepted trendy look for the home.
