Need a professional opinions on what color curtains to buy
Hello. I just bought my first home and have no idea what color curtains to buy. I need to dress the front window and the French door. Front faces east and french door faces west so they need to be thick to block out the sun when needed. It's an open plan (the french door is directly across the room from the window) so I want to use the same curtain for both jobs. Should I use a grey color like the walls or a cream (the color of my furniture)? Also, a solid or a pattern? The second picture are my area rugs. Thank you in advance.

I'm shore each one of them will look amazing, i don't know your taste, so take a look!!
The grey would work if you want a monochromatic room. It would keep it calm and simple. However, when I opened the discussion page and began looking at the pictures, Navy Blue jumped into my head. It would add some boldness while keeping it cool. See a few examples below for inspiration:
Cozy and comfortable family room

Another thought would be to introduce some yellow. This would offset the grey and add a strong punch of color. Yellow and grey work beautifully together. Some examples below for inspiration:

so it won't look boring, with everything in grey.. you have such a good taste, i love the pillows you choose so you know how to play with colors!! =)
I was suggesting the black too, because of your furniture, and it gives an intimistic ambiance but if are going to something dark you can choose a dark blue..
black or white curtins goes with everything
so if one day later you can change the pillows and the little details to others in other colors you will be free to do it, and you can have a different room every season, or whenever you get bored!
that's my advice.
Have fun!
