Living Room Curtains for Every Style of Home (2024)

The living room should be a place where people convene. And whether or not the room features a big wall of full-length windows or one small one, adding curtains can make all the difference in terms of the overall feel—and brightness—of your room. To help you transform your space into a haven for your entire family, we're sharing some of our favorite living room curtains to suit every design aesthetic. After all, fresh window treatments are one of the easiest ways to refresh and revamp your space.

Curtains can help create a motif or complement the one you've worked so hard to establish. If your living room features French-inspired designs, a delicate white linen curtain with a black embroidered border might be exactly what you've been looking for. Want something that'll help enhance your living room's style without distracting from the rest of your design? We've selected plenty of neutral curtains that will fit in seamlessly with the heart of the home. On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you want your curtains to be the standout fixture in your space, we have ideas for you—ahead, you'll find curtains with varying textures and colorful patterns that are guaranteed to pop. Case in point? One option we're sharing is a bold marigold color with a rich velvet texture that's sure to make a statement in even the smallest of living rooms, but they could also hold their own in ones with larger square footage.

We are also sharing a variety of blackout and noise-quieting options to truly turn your home into an oasis, ensuring privacy and peace for you and your loved ones. A few of the curtains we've picked are even machine washable, making them a great choice for families with young children or pets.
