A garden's grace and a twilight’s spell,
A secret shade where musings dwell.

Pink and purple have long lingered in the margins of poetry and paint, often typecast as soft, sweet and sentimental. But look closer, and you'll find they’re quietly subversive. From the flushed cheek of first love to the hush of twilight, these hues hold entire emotional worlds in their spectrum.

A brush of rose can soften a minimalist space, while a sweep of plum can anchor a maximalist room with theatrical flair. These hues don’t just complement a room; they shift its mood entirely. So, in celebration of colours that wear their heart on their sleeve (and look fantastic doing it), we present our extensive collection of pink curtains and purple drapes. And while at it, our stylists introduce you to their favourite rooms to drape in pink and purple, stealing ideas from their fabric-fueled daydreams and slightly obsessive Pinterest boards. Come along!

The Perfect Places for Pink & Purple Curtain Panels

Pink settles into a nursery like the last blush of evening sky - soft and dreamy. Purple, rich and indulgent, pools along the floor of a living room like the hem of a silk gown. These hues aren’t just pretty; they’re atmospheric.

We love them where they surprise you most; not in a little girl’s nursery (though yes, we’ll get there), but in unexpected corners that crave softness, warmth, or a little unapologetic flair. In honour of such spaces, here are our favourite spaces and tips to treat as your design playground when draping your windows with pink drapes and purple curtains.

The Boutique-Like Guest Bedroom

Let’s be honest: pink or purple curtains don’t always make the cut in the master bedroom—not when you’re sharing it with someone whose design input includes the words “not too frilly.” But the guest room? That’s your perfect playground for these dainty hues. It’s the one space where no one gets a veto, and you can indulge all your rose-tinted dreams guilt-free.

Pink sheer tie-top curtains? Go for it. Lavender linen puddling gracefully? Absolutely. Layer up the pink curtains with cloud-soft bedsheets, a touch of brass, and a scented candle that makes your guests wonder if they’ve accidentally booked into a boutique B&B in Provence. (Fair warning: they might never leave!)

The Glam-Chic Living Room

If your living room’s been stuck in ‘sensible’ mode - all safe neutrals and polite proportions - it’s time to raise the curtain on something more decadent. Choose something with weight— a blush pink velvet, a heavy violet linen, or a dazzling purple silk blend—and let your curtains pool. Yes, let the hem kiss the floor like they’ve just dropped out of a Vogue spread. 

Let us give you the alchemy to perfect this decor. Firstly, goblet pleats! Yes, the architectural kind that resembles a perfectly held coupe glass is your go-to for unapologetic luxury. Next, opt for antique brass drapery poles with ornate finials. Let the pink curtains or purple drapes puddle deliberately to soften the formality and add just the right hint of languor. Keep the palette tight: jewel tones, deep woods, gleaming accents. Add one wildcard (a sculptural lamp, maybe?) and you’ve got yourself a living room that wows your guests as it welcomes them!

The She-Boss’s Home Office

Elle Woods didn’t march into Harvard in hot pink for you to settle for grey walls and sad plastic blinds. Your home office is a sovereign state, your sanctuary of ambition. Here, you don’t need to tone anything down; not your ideas, not your flair, and certainly not your decor.

When you’re the boss, pink isn’t too pretty; it’s powerful. Purple isn’t too much; it’s magnetic. Choose a tone that reflects the way you work: a saturated plum or berry tone if your energy is Miranda Priestly-level composed and commanding, or a spirited pink if you believe in sparkle with strategy.

The trick is in the pairing. Ground bold tones with crisp whites, soft taupes, or natural wood. And definitely add texture with boucle chairs, feathery cushion covers, and if you’re going all in, layered drapes. Because if you're running the world one Zoom call at a time, your office should dress the part.

The Dreamy Nursery

Some say pink for girls is passe, but they must not have yet seen a baby gurgling under rose-hued curtains at golden hour. Truth is, pinks will always reign in nurseries, not because we lack imagination, but because pink brings a gentle kind of joy no other color quite manages. 

And here’s the twist: if you adore the softness of pink but not its saccharine sweetness, purple makes an irresistible stand-in. It carries the same feminine hush, just dressed in a deeper, dreamier shade.

Pink and purple both glow softly in morning light, soften shadows at sundown, and lend a poetic calm to even the most chaotic 3 a.m. diaper change. And when you mix in wisps of lilac or misty lavender, you get a palette that feels like a lullaby, not just to the baby, but to you, too.

Opt for blackout fabrics or blackout-lined curtains to help regulate naps (yours and hers). Keep the palette grounded, layer the pink or lavender drapes with cream or ivory sheers, and voila! You’ve got a nursery that’s as serene as it is storybook-worthy.

The Meant-for-Royals Dining Room

A great dining room is one where the guests sit long after the meal has disappeared from the plates and the conversation lingers after dessert. It’s where purple, especially, finds its rightful throne. The right drapes wrapping your windows in style can suddenly make even your grandma’s best china seem bashful. 

Start by considering the ambiance you want to create. Is it light and bright or royal and moody? For the latter, we suggest deeper tones like plum purple or amethyst in heavier velvets like Astral or resplendent silks like Royal Indigo. Trim your drapes with ornate tassel or ribbon trims to add to the flair. But if your dining room is less Queen Anne and more Princess Diaries with a breezy aesthetic, we recommend the softer embrace of lilac tones. Start your search along the routes of Sweet Deal, Hampi Rocks, and Happy Hyacinth. Walk the extra mile and choose pom-pom trims or fringe trims for these light-hearted drapes.

And then, friend, what do you get? A space that feels like a supper club or sunny lunch joint where toasts are longer, laughter louder, and every meal feels like a coronation. 

Three Tips to Tie Up the Tale of Styling Pink & Purple Curtains

Before you dash off to drape every window in rose and regal hues, here’s a quick designer’s epilogue. We bring you a trio of tips to make your drapes and space look like you just had a crash course in color psychology and design school:

TREAT PINK AS A NEUTRAL: Pink is now a staple rather than a statement, being used as a neutral in post-pandemic interiors that love a touch of lived-in peppiness and warmth.  Blush, in particular, offers a new kind of optimism: more inviting than white, warmer than grey, and infinitely more fun than beige. It's a hue that flatters many palettes and punctuates your space with effortless charm. Our designers often launch a room’s palette with pale pink drapes like Mix Candy or Luxury Traveller, then build around them using warm neutrals, wood accents, or snappy monochrome touches, creating a cocooning vibe that feels both intentional and spontaneous. Add a wink with accessories in brighter coral or magenta for unexpected pops of joy (hello, Barbie revival aesthetic!). 

READ BETWEEN THE SPECTRUM OF PINK & PURPLE: When pink seems too peppy and purple too intimidating, reach for their softer kin, lilac and lavender. These tones bring a poetic calm to bedrooms and reading corners, balancing the romance of pink with the restraint of grey. And you can pair these beautifully with pearlescent walls, cane furniture, or matte black frames. 

PLAY WITH NEIGHBOURS ON THE COLOR WHEEL: Pink and purple sit comfortably beside red, blue, and peach, their near-neighbours. Layering within that family keeps the room harmonious. Go for coral cushions with blush curtains, or indigo ceramics beside violet drapes. It’s colour theory with a smile, minus the textbooks!

To Sew It Up

In a world of trending tones and fleeting fads, pinks and purples have quietly held their ground. Pink can be powerful. Purple, regal and deeply grounding. They can read playful or poised, classic or bold, all depending on how you style them, where you place them, and what you pair them with. And with custom drapery, the possibilities multiply: header styles that hint at heritage, lengths that say laidback, or accessories that complete the picture.
