(It's every girl's dream. Squee!)</p> <p>I think ManidipaM's advice is spot on: If the curtains are open, you don't want the color of your clothes to clash with the curtains and wall color. Don't forget to think about the lighting/window and placement of a long mirror, too.</p> <p>I think if you're set on the zebra curtains, I'd wonder about creating different atmospheres, like so:<br /> - calming: a soft, light wall color like a pale green, baby yellow or soft beige, a big landscape picture on the wall, a white upholstered chair<br /> - luxurious: dark blue, bright red, bright pink, or yellow grey walls, several gold framed pictures, maybe a bench or big pouf made of leather, large mirror with golden ornamental frame<br /> - girly: pink, red or orange walls, maybe a chandelier, a voluminous chair, a small table with flowers<br /> - minimalist/practical: white or light grey walls (to match the white and silver from the ikea shelves), a wooden chair, a modern painting with a thin silver frame, mirror with wooden frame<br /> ... you get the idea ;)</p> <p>There are two tools I have enjoyed a lot for finding new and exciting color combinations (they're fun for outfits, too!):<br /> 1. <a href="http://bighugelabs.com/colors.php" rel="nofollow">http://bighugelabs.com/colors.php</a> - you input a photo/picture you like, and they extract the main colors from it (you could do this with a picture of your closet!)<br /> 2. <a href="http://www.swatchspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.swatchspot.com</a> - generates random color palettes or combinations based on several colors you choose</p> <p>Have fun with this project! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---curtains-for-my-potential-walk-in-closet#post-544820 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 06:19:51 +0000 Kate 544820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buttery yellow, caramel, shell pink...there are so many options for paint with the zebra patterned fabric. Have fun with it. I envy you having an extra bedroom to turn into a walk-in closet. Lucky woman! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---curtains-for-my-potential-walk-in-closet#post-544819 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 06:19:44 +0000 ManidipaM 544819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, since zebra is after all a neutral that should play will with most everything, might I suggest approaching it from a slightly different angle? What colour are most of your clothes?</p> <p>If I had a lot of neutrals in my wardrobe, I might want to add a little colour to my closet interiors. Like a middle intensity of teal, blue, yellow or pink, or a dramatic red or purple.

Looking forward to pics, Sveta! And congrats--I'm starting to upgrade my closet and it's so exciting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---curtains-for-my-potential-walk-in-closet#post-544537 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 23:24:31 +0000 Isabel 544537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea.</p> <p>I think that anything goes with the zebra. It seems like a neutral to me. As long as you don't do "dainty" prints or wall paper...you can't go wrong ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---curtains-for-my-potential-walk-in-closet#post-544493 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 22:54:01 +0000 Meredith1953 544493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! That is a great pattern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---curtains-for-my-potential-walk-in-closet#post-544491 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 22:53:19 +0000 Sveta 544491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to convert my empty small bedroom into a walk in closet. I don't want to install cabinets there - just rail system from Ikea (pic 1). I also want to use curtains to close them off - to keep the dust out ans also to look nicer. As this is such a small room and I am having fun with fashion I want it to be fun. I spend all day today looking for curtain fabric and have 2 options:<br /> 1. bold b/w zebra print<br /> 2. fun abstract print of pink and red-purple pattern on a tan background. (don't have a picture)</p> <p>If I go with #2 I think I will paint the walls buttery yellow to complement the purple.<br /> However I am not sure what color walls can go with zebra print? Any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
