Ombre Curtains & Window Drapes

When you want your windows to wear the reminiscent beauty of sunset skies — fiery hues gently ebbing into calming whites — ombre curtains should be your answer. This lively style, stealing the technique of color-blending from rich oil paintings, brings a sense of waltzing movement to interiors. Starting with white on top, our ombre curtains quietly flow into milder hues of a color and crescendo at its deepest, richest tone — gracefully capturing the full spectrum of the color within a single drape.

From soft neutrals to bold hues, there’s an ombre to suit every room within our collection. Whether you’re dressing a sparkling living room or a serene bedroom retreat, ombre curtains lend an air of artful grace that’s as subtle as it is striking. 

Alright, since you’re here, we’ll assume your heart is already swaying to the colorful rhythm of ombre drapes. To pull you further into this fandom, our drapery experts have lined up their favourite styling tips to help you bring these beauties home just right. But before we dive into those, here’s a quick summary of what makes our ombre collection extra-special.

Perks of Shopping Ombre Curtains with Sewn

Shopping for your ombre curtains with Sewn offers benefits beyond the obvious perks of custom sizes, free samples and free shipping. Here are two key aspects that set our ombre curtains apart from the rest of the mass-produced-pack.

MADE-TO-MEASURE, MADE FOR YOU: Unlike pre-printed, mass-produced panels, our ombre curtains are custom printed for every order. That means whether your curtain length is 50 inches or 90, the gradient effect is thoughtfully adjusted to suit your specifications. We ensure that every panel (as long as it’s longer than 48 inches) captures the full ombre effect, right from the calm of the white to the full crescendo of your chosen colour. 

TWO-TONE & THREE-TONE OPTIONS: Our collection encompasses both two-tone and three-tone ombre curtain options. The two-tone selection features a color transition from white to bright, while the three-tone adds an extra layer of beige in between for a more gradual, dimensional fade. Both styles are available in a range of palettes — from soft, tonal gradients to bold, high-contrast hues — so whether you're designing a calm, minimalist space or a more expressive, color-forward room, there's an ombre that will fit right in. 

Setting the Stage for Ombre Curtains: Styling Tips from Pros

Ombre curtains should not be underestimated as merely visual treats in the decor. Styled with intention, they carry the potential to set the mood of the space. However, certain missteps can also lead you to miss the mark entirely. Don’t worry, though, we've got you. Coming up are  insider tips that play up their full potential. Here goes! 

ADD ZING & ZEST WITH A BOLD, BRIGHT TONE

Call them the life of a party or the spark behind one’s eyes, ombres keep a space looking alive. So, when a room seems to have fallen asleep in the hushed embrace of neutrals, let a vibrant ombre curtain be its wake-up call. Options like Kole with a jolt of red or Chandler with the anchoring depth of blue can offer a colorful respite in an otherwise plain decor. Such ombre curtains offer the dynamism of a burst of color that softens as it floats across the surface of the fabric, adding visual interest without overpowering the overall decor scheme.

Similarly, when a color tempts you but feels a bit too bold to go on a fully solid-colored drapery, why not let it shine as an accent tone instead? So, if fiery orange sets your heart ablaze, Fiona from our collection could make for a long-time favorite. 

Threading through the fine line between understated and overwhelming, ombre curtains strike that elusive balance. Put their quiet power to work in muted spaces that need a gentle break from visual sterility.

CAST COLORS AS THE NARRATORS OF YOUR DECOR STORY

While every palette has a voice, some palettes have come to be associated so strongly with certain decor styles, they have become the veritable mouthpieces of these styles. Whites and greys are never too far when evoking a Scandi-space. Similarly, beige and white have become the defining colors of modern, desert-inspired Boho rooms, just as jewel tones speak to maximalist styles. 

In decor styles where color is the defining trait, use our ombre curtains to eloquently tell your story. Employ vibrant ombres like Avondale or Narita in a free-spirited boho home to match a space that dances to its own rhythm, bringing energy and whimsy in equal measure.

In rustic country homes and modern farmhouses, let your ombre curtains take a more grounded form. Earth-toned drapes like Havasu evoke the raw scent of petrichor and rain-soaked soil, adding to the quiet charm and unhurried soul of slow-living spaces.

A coastal retreat will often draw from a palette where sandy beiges blend into seafoam whites and soft sky blues, as the shoreline, water, and sky flow into one another. Therefore, in seaside cottages and beach houses, our ombre curtains like Sierra and Dazzle make a strong case.

Ombre curtains lend cadence to tones that enable them to become the most articulate expression of your palette. Therefore, when you’d like colors to carry forward your decor story, let ombre curtains be your lead characters. 

SET THE STAGE WITH FULL VIEW OF THE DRAPES

Set design is important, especially when you’d like your hero to shine. So, the furniture layout in your room should be decided while keeping in mind to stage a full view of your ombre curtains. 

Our two-tone ombre curtains are designed to start with white on top, drawing the eye downward as the color begins to show around the middle, deepening into its richest shade at the base. Our three-tone ombre drapes place a bold anchoring hue in the middle between white on top and beige-grey at the base. 

To make the most of these unfurling colors, forethought is advised in furniture placement in the room. Because, if a sofa, cabinet, or bed is placed directly in front of the ombre curtains, you may end up blocking the very part that carries the most visual weight.

To let the ombre effect come through as intended, aim for a furniture layout that allows the full length to stay visible. Think of your curtains not as a backdrop to be hidden behind furniture, but as part of the room’s visual design that clamors to be seen. 

EMPLOY THE FULL SPECTRUM OF A TONE

Decor schemes don’t always stick to one hue of a colour (and why should they, really?) Often, the charm of a space lies in its tonal play: soft sage walls, pistachio upholstery, perhaps some deep forest green accents, and a scattering of leafy houseplants. Similarly, pink in interiors can be anything but saccharine, especially when it’s layered thoughtfully. But tying all these related - yet distinct - hues together can be tricky. And that’s where ombre curtains step in as the anchor, your hero without a cape! 

By blending several shades of the same color family into one continuous gradient, ombre curtains offer a visual thread that ties the palette together. They don’t demand a perfect match with your wall paint or your rug’s accent color. Instead, they offer a range, making it easy to sync them into a given palette. A two-tone ombre can make light pastel relevant to a richer base, while a three-tone version brings even more nuance and potential to blend. 

So, you no longer need to hunt down the exact shade match for every piece. Instead, build around a color family, and end your shopping spree with Sewn’s ombre curtains to neatly tie up the palette!

LET OMBRES PLAY THE BALANCING ACT BETWEEN SOLIDS & PATTERNS

Styling a space often means walking the thin line between too plain and too busy, especially when you’re mixing solids and prints. Ombre curtains strike that delicate balance beautifully. They carry the visual interest of a pattern, thanks to their flowing gradient, but without the repetition or rigidity of traditional motifs.

If your room already features a bold wallpaper, patterned upholstery, or statement rugs, use ombre curtains to quieten the visual field without necessarily disappearing into the background. Likewise, in minimal spaces dominated heavily by solids, we recommend our ombre drapes to add a whiff of movement and complexity to keep things from feeling flat. They’ll bring a quiet kind of drama — just enough to catch the eye without overwhelming it.
