Red checked curtains are traditional for kitchens, perhaps because of the association with life-giving and nurturing food.
Red Curtains for Living Room Windows
Because red is attention-grabbing, red curtains draw attention to windows. Use the windows either as a focal point or to complement other features in the room. You can use red in accessories, such as throw pillows and rugs, to carry out the theme. Red curtains in the living room will make the room feel vibrant and warm.
In this example, texture, understated pattern and crisp fabric give an elegant look to a window. The deep red color adds drama without overwhelming the space.

Pairing sheers with heavier curtains adds interest to a room. If you live in a climate with extremes of temperatures, pair sheers with thermal curtains.

Sheers give a light, airy look when the heavier curtains are open.
