2. Incorporate embroidery

Have you ever thought about using embroidered curtains in your home? If not, you should! Linens are especially beautiful when embroidered. This extras touch brings a subtle design that will, again, make your room and home more sophisticated. We love the look of a cream colored linen framing your windows and allowing the neutral to make the color balance you need.

If you’ve hesitated to add linen curtains to your home because they come in light colors and you’re imaging a home that’s washed out of color, then we have good news for you! Instead of hanging light colored linens and simply sticking with this color scheme, consider adding dark colors too.

You’ll be creating a focal point that takes advantage of your beautiful natural light.
