These are blackout curtains with a pretty overlay. Beige or Mint?

Either one, where are they from, they are really nice? I just put up black out curtains and they are very basic looking,

Those are beautiful! I’m leaning toward the mint, but I love shades of green.

Wayfair. My mom was just saying how blackout curtains are so ugly and plain. Then I saw these and are very pretty. I have to have a blackout curtain.

They have several different types of blackout curtains on wayfair with that overlay. Just saw another set with some lace everlay. I am leaning towards the mint also. I just need to measure my bedroom window and see what size I would need.

Beige.
While the mint used on the bed is a pastel, the curtains look like a 'frosted' shade of mint, and would always give the viewer a sense of coldness at the window area.
I dont say this just because I just came in the house and im freezing and trying to warm up! Colors DO have a psychological impact on us humans. The mint is beautiful, but I'd go with the beige.

I almost fell over when I saw your drape pictures. I was looking at the exact drapes last night on line at Wayfair.

What color will your walls be? I love the mint, but I prefer the drapes to match the walls instead of the bed. Over the years this has worked for me. I like the look, plus it’s easy to change out my bed color for the seasons or when I get tired of the same thing.

PS, you have great taste!

If that is the color you chose for the bed shown in the pics, I'd say the beige.

I don't like too much of a color in one room, and if the two shades of mint aren't exactly the same, it would drive me nuts.

Wall color will be important in the decision too.

Aren't curtains kind-of "out"?? I really didn't think people decorated by using curtains anymore. My home is a cottage though and all we have are Hunter Douglas silhouette blinds throughout. Curtains just don't go with my decor.

Refreshing-yet-soothing mint; also picks up the greens from your art and bedding.

Yes I already have the bedding. Walls are gray.

We were thinking no curtains but I have to have blackout in the bedroom. I like nice and dark and a shade just don't cut it.

Blinds only are often cold and uninviting. Curtains warm a home.

OK, then I change my vote! lol

If the bed covering is mint, and the walls grey, I don't like the beige for the curtains, and would choose something closer to white (is the trim going to be white?) or mint to match the bed.
