Window Treatment Colors That Go With Gold Accents

Gold accents are elegant, timeless, and often of heirloom quality, so it’s understandable that you may want to work a room’s décor around them. Windows are a natural focal point in any space, so your window treatments must complement the gold surrounding them. Shelly’s Interior Concepts shares the secret of the best window treatment colors to pair with gold accents.

What Colors Make Gold?

Combining equal parts of brown and yellow gives you the elegant color gold. Brown is a neutral hue, which means gold is quite versatile. You may think brown is an excellent fit to pair with gold, but it’s not the best choice. Brown and gold can be a drab, gloomy combination.

Window Treatment Colors That Complement Gold Accents Purple

Purple and gold are often the colors of royalty, and with good reason. The pairing is dramatic, luxurious, and elegant. Deep shades of purple are a fantastic way to complement gold accents, and regal plum-colored drapes look exquisite with gold accents, especially when you match the drapery hardware to an element in the room.

Black

Black is another color that creates a striking combination with gold. It’s beneficial for grounding a space otherwise overwhelmed by gold. Being neutral, black is an outstanding choice for any window treatment style, but we especially love the look of a sleek Designer Roller Shade in a space with gold accents.

Blue

Silhouette® Sheer Shades diffuse sunlight and beautifully highlight the shine of gold accents. Choose a light blue to create a delicate aesthetic or a darker shade, like navy, to add exciting contrast.

White

White is an excellent backdrop for any color and brings a fresh, clean vibe to a room with gold décor. You can choose white Parkland® Wood Blinds for a classic aesthetic or a Roman shade for a slightly more sophisticated look.

Green

If you favor the color green, you’re in luck. Any shade, from emerald to sage, is a great choice to pair with gold. You can play up the organic nature of green by choosing a woven wood shade. The texture of a woven shade also provides balance for gold accents with a smooth, shiny surface.

Red

Deep, earthy shades of red add an extra level of elegance to a room with touches of gold. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades with full folds intensify the sophisticated vibe. You can also give a room with gold décor a show-stopping aesthetic with Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds. The gliding panels are a gorgeous backdrop for any room and offer the best view by stacking tightly when you open them.
