3 or 7

Multi-Colored floral!!!!

I like #4.......it brings all your blues and all your patterns together. At first I liked the softness of the mixed blue floral, but your room already has a lot of softness in it, it doesn't need that extra element in the drapes.

They are all beautiful but my vote goes to #7

My choices would be #3 or #6...heavily leaning toward #6.

Number 4 and Number 6 are my top picks....with number 2 being the 'Fall/Winter' choice....because the red makes me think of autumn leaves and winter always needs a bit of red to brighten the shorter days....but you are right- your choices are all wonderful and would look perfect. Can't wait to see what you decide!!

It’s either 3 or 6 for me. Beautiful fabrics!!!!

I like # 1 and #7. I think # 1 might be too much like the carpet, same/same, if you know what I mean. #7 really stands out as a great back drop without competing and appears to pull everything together with out trying to hog the limelight. :)

1 - 2 - 7 Beautiful options!

you do have a hard choice of fabrics.... however the very last swatch is the best fit in my mind followed by #3 swatch. All of the other overwhelm the room

Number 2 or 6

1 or 3!!!!

originally I thought 1 2 or 7 but actually I'd agree 6 is a great option

Number 2 or #7 for me

I love 3!

I like both 6 and 7. With six you can throw in some turquoise during the summer months and it will blend effortlessly. Actually I like them all but if I had to choose only one it would be 6.

I really liked 3 and 7. What a lovely bright and cheery room.

Definitely no. 7! I think the rest would be too big of a jump for your comfort zone. :)

I agree with Linda. #2. I prefer some pops of contrasting color in a room, all blue and white is pretty limiting. One suggestion is to buy enough for one panel of your top patterns so you can hang it and see how it works. You can always use the fabric from the one you didn’t chose for pillows or a balance in another room.

#7

Number 1 pulls all the colors together without being too dark.

My vote is for 4 and 7... either one would look fabulous!! Great choices...

#3 I like the lighter background fabrics. Love the fabric os #7 but it just doesn’t ground the room.

I like #4 or 6 but leaning towards 4. Good luck!

Multi-Colored Floral

3, 4 or 7 :)

I like the multi colored floral as it introduces a bit more color (and demension) into the room and gives you options if you want to introduce other accessories later on. PS. (I have valences In this same print in my family room)!

1 or 3

I like one or three. like the traditional look of them and I think they have the right amount of white that will keep them from looking heavy on the windows.

I love number 7, the Stitched Floral pattern!

I like #1 #3 or #7. They are all beautiful. Good luck choosing and I can’t wait to see the final result!

I like #5, I think it is more modern and has more light and won,t look as busy.

I have #2 as pillows in my living room but they would be too bold for curtains. Any of the other fabrics would look awesome. Good Luck deciding

I'd choose #3 or #7.

My vote goes to #1 or #4. By the time the panels are draped on the rods, what you are going for is an overall look. You won't really see a significant design pattern. In my humble opinion, 1 & 4 tie all the blues together, blending them and adding just a little more of blue palette that your blue hues are currently. Can't wait to see what you decide. I am sure it will be perfect, and gorgeous and wonderful and awesome!

I have blue in my family room And what I have discovered the hard way is that for curtains a smaller print give a softer less busy affect for the room. One suggestion I would have is to look for fabric with a smaller ooen print and perhaps one less dense. It seems to flow better with the beautiful airy space ypu have and wont jump off the walls as much. I I am afraid that someone who is just starting to introduce color into their room, you might be overwhelmed by a dense large print. I hope this makes sense.

I like the multi colored floral as it introduces a bit more color (and demension) into the room and gives you options if you want to introduce other accessories later on. PS. (I have valences In this same print in my family room)!

Oh! This is so much fun! I had the same issue in my home. I choose # Number 3: the Damask Navy. I think your blue and white is too beautiful to overpower or get any other color added to the room. Whatever you choose, it will be lovely! Can't wait for your decision...

No. 1 is the one that I like. Thanks for including us.

7! Have you looked at any stripes? Maybe with a subtle different color added? But then-I am a stripe addict. So-call me biased. 7 is beautiful

It's kind of hard to tell the scale of the design in the pics but I'm thinking either number one or six will give you a nice variation of color - some of the others may just wash out and either read blue or white from a distance. Personally, I'd be all over that number two - love love love red - especially nice at christmas time but I'm not sure how crazy you want to get😏!!

Beautiful room and what fun to help choose the fabric! I like # 2 (love the pop of red, will go with the brass well) and also #6. Can't wait to see the finished results!

I think 2 or 3! I love the red in 2. Either will be beautiful.

I love 1 or 3!

I like either 1 or 7. Then I scanned up to read the other comments. Personally, I'd put white shutters, but that's really costly. I love this blue and white room!

1 or 7

I like the second version - but red is my favorite color. I just think the red with all that blue and white would be beautiful. I would allow the red in the curtains to stand alone, not adding any additional red in the room accessories. Otherwise, it might start looking all 1994 Americana...

I'm a big fan of blue and white but I really feel your lovely room needs some more color pumped in. So I suggest fabric no.2

#1 Then maybe rotating out fresh flowers on the coffee table with primary colors in yellow tulips or chartreuse bells of Ireland or red poppies. It truly is a beautiful room, Karianne!

Number two gets my vote.

All are beautiful, I see your dilemma lol. I keep returning to #'s 3 and 6. I can't decide between the two.

Quick question....do you have to do full length drapes.....what about higher valances as to no cover these beautiful windows? My pick is # 7 in higher valances or drapes if you need drapes.

I like #3 because the pattern pulls the different blues together and also the background is white, which I think better suits the room.

Number 1!!

Number 2.

Number 4!

1 or 3

3 or 7

#4

The damask navy.

I love 2, but think it might be too much red for you, I think 4 has a great mix of blues and pulls out the shades of blue in the room. Number 7 is very soft and won't go too far out of what is your comfort zone. My vote is 4

What great fabric swatches....I like #7 the best. It seems to convey the casual feel of "come in and stay awhile" but also does a great job of tying everything together.

I like # 6. The turquoise adds interest to the room

I would go with #2 and add some red in the room. If you want to keep it all blue go with #7!

Hands down, the multicolor floral #2! It brings that needed third burst of color to the room. That’s what I would do. Whatever you do...it will look fantastic! ;)

I like 2, 5 and 7. I like the color that #2 adds, but you can always add color with pillows and accessories. I love the modern look of #5 but you might grow tired of it before #7. Yes, I think I just talked myself into #7. The pattern is more subtle than the big florals and the shade of blue is calming.

#1 or #7 with # 1 being 1st🙂

#6!

I vote number 1 or 7 - both look lovely!!

#2 is my favorite because of the red!! But if you are strictly going blue and white then #4 followed by #1

I like number 2 because it is unexpected... all the other ones just blend in.

Love love love number 2. The red is a great accent!

Loving 1, 4, and 6 the best.

KariAnne, before you decide, the fabric needs to be gathered up like a drape. It will look completely different when hung and gathered than how it looks flat on the wall. You can use big rubber bands to gather and hold it. at one end. From there you will be able to narrow the choices down better.

3 and 4 are my favourites with number 7 as my third choice. I look forward to seeing what you choose.

Before even looking at the swatches, I was thinking, “I hope there’s a pop of red.” Number 2; and the gold in it will help to make the brass accents shine.😄

Number 3 makes all of the blue in the pop especially the rug! You may have converted me to navy!

Number 2 you need a third color and I think the brass will pop.

# 3, looks best with the carpet

Number 7!

Gosh, great fabrics! I think the last two were my favorites!

Love # 3 and second choice 6..Room is beautiful

My favorite is #1. #4 and #6 I like too.

I like the Ikat or the one with red (leaning towards that one).

This is wonderful! I am currently looking at several of the same fabrics from several other sites for suggestions for my living/dining room areas. Thanks to you, I can definitely rule out several that will not work for me. I've used the first 2 prints in past homes and the polka dots I think would have me thinking somebody took a paintball gun and shot blue paint at some white fabric and then hung it up ( just my opinion). With that being said, I love the Damask Navy print! But, I'm sure whatever you choose will look fabulous after you've worked your magic with it. I'm linking over to the site you ordered your samples from to order my fabric. I hope you get some type of credit for my link. Thanks again and have a Blessed weekend!

Love this room, love this house! Definitely #3. Have fun counting the votes!

Definitely 1 or 2! I love them both. They both add a nice floral to your pattern collection. #1 is gorgeous for a strict blue & white pallet. #2 is perfect for giving you the option to add pops of color to change things up from time to time.

Love the multi-colored floral. I'm a sucker for a pop of red!

IF I had to choose of these, I would go with #3. But you might be getting too much power in these fabrics. Something needs to take the lead and I see it as your rug. Might you consider white curtains, IKEA and band it with #3. Replace some of pillow covers with the same fabric. Think about it.

4, 6, or 7 Tough decision! I love the brass idea also!

6 and 7 are great choices - and I'm leaning towards 7. However, after concentrating on the geometrical polka dots print, I can picture it hanging with soft draping folds and actually anchoring the room while keeping the light, bright ambiance and complimenting any artwork you want to put up. I still really like 6 and 7 though. I feel that the red in the multi-color print is too visually jarring for the room and takes away from the soothing, airy feel. Beautiful room in any case.

I really like 6. I would then add turquoise accents to the room, giving it a fresh feeling (and it's still in the blue family). I think you're great!

No. 4. The one with the red is my least favorite! Great choices!

It’s looking like I’m waaaay outnumbered here but my eye went straight to #5! I love the juxtaposition of the geo vs the softer pieces in the room. #5 is a slight nod to the geo trend and a whimsical way to work it into your beautiful room. #6 is my next in line, very different from #5 but.the turquoise pop is great!!! If #5 is too risky for curtains, maybe lumbar pillows??

Number 1 and 7 are my favorites but I would pick #1. They are all beautiful though and I know you will pick the perfect one for you! We will be waiting and watching to see which you choose!

You’re such a great decorator ! I wish I had your eye for fabrics and paint. I’m still leaning towards # 7 because it seems to be easy on the eyes and it looks to be a LINEN fabric which is so classy. Also, I love the stitching in this fabric because it seems to be creamy in color and not so overpowering like in the other fabrics.

I love #1 and #6!!

While I loved all of your choices, I think number 7 would be best. For such a bright room, and because the rug is such a "pop", I think number 7 is a little more subdued and would finish the room nicely. And if you make them and don't like them, please feel free to send them my way, she says with a grin!

#3 to keep with the blues and whites theme. Or #2 to add color to your blues and whites. I love and would use #2 for the added color. Good Luck!

#2 for sure!

Love all. I would like to see number 6 in the room.

Wow, your choices are so beautiful. I have spent far too much time trying to choose so I can see your problem. 1 is my first choice, but I also love 6. No. 7 is too much like your blue prints. And #2 is amazing, but probably too busy.

They are all lovely! You could be safe with any of the blue choices OR you could go all red lipstick and choose #2 the multicolor floral! It would be unexpected and would allow you to introduce more colors later, like in some pillows or accessories! Would help the brass pop. I vote for #2!

I'm a huge fan of #1. I feel like some of them look very heavy... I might be wrong though. I also liked #7, but I wondered if it would look a little too "90's country" instead of colonial / farmhouse. I think whatever you choose, you will rock it, and it will look beautiful.

#6 with #1 also a contender. I like the different shades in #6 as it pulls the room together without being bossy.

You had me at ONE! Love it! I love your style and the room is already amazing and so cozy!

I like #3 the best.

I think number 1 or 6. I actually really like the one that has the red in it too. But given the current colors in the room I'd have to say 1 or 6.

#7 has my vote! You already have a lot of stark blue/white contrast going on. I LOVE blue & white, but you might try introducing a punch of contrast color in a couple solid color pillows (deep coral...bright yellow?) to give the eye a break.

I’m thinking 1 or 7. I like the calming effect of tone on tone. Also, both are calm patterns which would be great, I think, for relaxing in the evening. The others are too busy for me. Good luck with your project!

stitched floral looks at peace in the room...#7. Beautiful room!

Number one is my favorite.

I like #6!

#3 is gorgeous. Feels just right.

I vote for #2 or #6. I am all for introducing a bit of another color via the window treatments!

I love# 1 and 7, KERRIEANNE your living room is beautiful!!!

1 & 3 is my favorite!!

#6 because I love the turquoise pop of color #7 because I just do :)

All great choices! But 6 or 7 are standouts 😃

Number 2 is my fav!!! The reason is that I love the added pop of color....that red really will sing!

#1 or #7. Love them both!

Oh brother! They are all so beautiful...how does one choose! If it was me I think that the Multi colored one might work best because you can pull so many other colors from the fabric. The pop of red around the Christmas season or the beige and yellow at Fall time. Which ever one you choose I'm sure it will be stunning!

#1 That fabric ties all the shades of blue together and gives a totally completed look!

#7. But to be honest, I think you should find one that isn’t strictly blue and white (but no red). Any of those patterns would be better if there was more balance, meaning more tan/greige in the mix with the blue. I think it would tie everything together better. Good luck!

I like #2 or #7 best.

2 for pop. 7 for additional "solid" blue feel, which really pulls in the pillows.

I like #2 - the pop of red really will add some dimension and grounding. You know, we all love being asked for an opinion. Love visiting your home via your blog, so welcoming and peaceful.

I think you should go with number 7, the stitched floral. But not an “ in your face” floral. You already have geometries with your pillow choices. This choice seems just right to me! I have been a decorator for 40 years and blue and white is a classic that never goes out of style!

I like the damask navy

I think 6 or 7 would be lovely! Better you than me making this decision! Good luck

#4!

I have #1 in my bathroom -- I made a valance out of it. But right now I'm going to get first a cup of tea and then take another look. This afternoon I'll have a glass of wine and take another look -- then I'll give my lowly opinion. I do think it's a good idea to gather the swatch before deciding. Sending hugs!!

I really like #7 because it will blend and not be too many patterns in the room. When you look at the big picture you already have multiple prints and the chairs have stripes so the prints for curtains would be too much. I also think fading from sunlight would be at a minimum.

I like 7 best. It is quieter, more restful and goes better with the theme of the room. Agree with the comment about smaller prints.

2, 4, or 7...obviously I can't decide either!

I like #4 and #6 because they pull in both of your blue shades, leaning strongly toward #6 because you can pop some turquoise accents into the room. No to #2, not liking red but maybe that's just me.. Love #7 but maybe not in that room.

#2. Fresh & stunning #6 Fresh #7 Classic All of your textile choices are lovely, some are frequently used in design.

I love #1, with #2 being my next choice - which gives some good options of different throw pillows later to change it up without replacing curtains.

I think 5 is a more visually simple choice. Less busy but lots of fun.

Karianne, the room is so beautiful and peaceful, and your family is what will add color! Blue and white are my very favorite, so my vote goes for #3 or #6. Good Luck!

I love #s 1 and 2, BUT #2 will add that third color you really need. Blue and white are restful, beautiful, traditional, but the pops of red flowers with green stems will add so much interest and a little surprise. I agree with the person who said to buy enough for one panel of your favorites. The fabrics you decide against will still make gorgeous pillows for a quick change of look in the room. We will love whatever you choose! Can’t wait to see the final results!

7 is my favorite but I like 1 and 2.

Hey Karianne, #2 It reminds me of your love of red lipstick...it’s a statement...be bold! Ps...you’re gonna have to run a tally with all the input!

I love #6 for this room....You have beautiful splashes of blue all thru this awesome white room I just think your curtains need white splashes thru the blue curtains! Did I confuse you? Hope not! Good luck! Can't wait to see which one you pick! I love your new Home!!

I love all the fabrics but my eye keeps going back to #1. I think it continues the light and airy feel of the room and brings all your blues together. I love the idea of ordering enough fabric for a panel of your top picks and living with each a couple days to see what they do to the room at different times of day.

7!! Ties everything together without making the room too busy :)

Hello! They are all beautiful but I would choose....1,3, or 7. By the way, I have bought your DIY Home Planner and since I just became an empty nester last weekend, I am using it as my guide to redo the guest bathroom and daughter's room that will be converted to a sewing/craft room. I am so excited!!

1 or 6! Really like the addition of turquoise.

No. 4 adds visual interest. Throw it “off” just a wee bit by adding a fun pillow in yellow or orange.

I love #6. It picks up the darkest color in the rug but also has other colors and a pleasing design. It might also help to look at the fabric folded or pleated like it will hang when the drapes are made.

Wow! Lots of your readers have an opinion! I vote for 3 or 7.

Damask navy!

Love #1...gorgeous!!

Number 1 definitely or possibly number 7.

Option 4. Not too busy, just the right amount of color!

Number 1 definitely or number 7 possibly.

6 or 7

Number 2 (I have a chair in that fabric 😊) or number 7. You have a hard decision. I always have summer and winter curtains here in Ohio.

I like either #1 or #3.. I also might like something not so bold. Perhaps a fairly pale blue stripe or check. I thing it depends on whether you want the curtains to be a strong focal point (like these fabrics chosen) or to sit quietly in the background. I know we’ll love anything you chose!

1,2 or 7. I like the multi because it would add a little brightness, but truly, I like them all. Good luck picking your choice!

After glancing very quickly at all of the choices without having to think about it. I think #3.

Number 6 leaves the room a little less predictable. The turquoise will give you a little more interest. Another option would be to keep the ones you have and add a two foot section at the bottom of each panel using the number 6 fabric separated by piping!!!!

For your room - the first pattern. It pulls the blues together but still leaves enough flexibility to add seasonal colors. Now for my living room - please tell me what is the pattern name for the polka dots?

I like the Floral Blue #1. What about just having solid color curtains in blue? Then you can add more patterns later in blue

I really like #1 and #4--but pretty sure #1 is my favorite!

Number one is my standout. It gives so many options.

My favorites are 1, 2 and 3.......................they make the room pop. Love the splash of red in #2.

Love your thoughtful selections. I think it depends on what look you are wanting for room. #1 is classic - simply put. #2 - don't like adding more color with the drapes. Do it some other way. #3 damask is always classic. #4 looks like updated damask look - more trendy. #5 geo dot is definitely trendy. How long do you plan to keep these? Still, love DOTS! #6 love blue/turquoise together but not sure drapes are where you want to introduce this color. On the other hand, this is a rather subtle intro to turquoise. #7 Oddly, I'm drawn to this softened denim-y look. The curtains will look like "dark blue" but it's a softer look. Yikes...I guess I'm the one needing a consult!!!

Absolutely love number 6!

#3 or #6 get my vote! I know whatever you end up selecting I’m gonna love though! Absolutely beautiful room.

Number 4 or 7 are my picks. Not crazy about the multi-colored one. I have the same problem with a gray paint in my home. My pantry door is painted a dark gray and in a certain light, it looks totally purple. But I've already painted it twice, so I'm gonna live with it for now.

Glad you're getting rid of the purple-turning wall paint! Note that the deep rich blues are my favorite colors. But this room just feels so blue and white. Don't know what your vision is for the room, what feeling you're trying to evoke. While I really like all the patterns you've chosen, the first five are just overwhelming to me, echoing the rest of the room like a piece of music that repeats the same note. The Damask Navy for instance is just so close to the huge rug in effect. (Though you don't give us a real scale for the patterns and perhaps if they were smaller, it would feel different?) For that reason, I like the last two patterns (6 and 7). Number six introduces that teal, like a note from a different section of the orchestra, maybe a sax (with your yellow flowers on the bookshelf being a pluck on a harp string or a bell note). And Number seven gives a smooth background support foundation just where it's needed, as well as bringing out the medium range of blues in the rug and other patterns. (Would the cream instead of white in the curtains be strong enough for the sofas?) As long as the blue there isn't too country or wedgewood in the light of the room... number seven seems to have a little texture. I think you could use a little texture in those curtains, and for myself, might like a slubby linen. But if being entirely honest, I like the looks of curtains but am going with hard painted shutters in my guest room -- I don't like the dust-on-fabric collection, makes me itch, lol. Good luck!

So many gorgeous options! Numbers one and two are definitely my faves! I especially love the colors in two, but think that number one would look best in the room, as it is now.

Number one is my choice. Classic, Not too dark.

This first one in my book

1 and 2 are my favorites! Cant wait to see the final decision; whichever you choose, it will be beautiful!

number six.

My favorites are #4 and #5.

Multi-colored floral for the win!

So many choices! I love 7, 1 and 2. Have a great choice filled day!

7 gets my vote! G

4 or 6

I love the multi colored floral because it adds a touch of warmth that will really make the blues pop. Also it ties all the shades in beautifully. Second favorite is #6, the blue and blue and teal. Both will tie everything together and give a nice contrast that makes the room sing :)

I’d go with #7 - all of them are beautiful, and my first response was the multi-colored floral to bring in a pop of color - but in keeping with your love of neutral’s and subtle color I would think 7 is more in line - that and it’s not as bold, will provide color but won’t be the focal point. Can’t wait to see what you’ve chosen!

I took this serious! :) I put them all side by side on my desktop and then ruled out the ones I didn’t like first. #1 because I think the flower pattern will get old in full drapes; #3 because it seems too safe and might become boring; #7 seems to be everyone’s pick but it just doesn’t match to me and does nothing for the room. My votes are for… #2 if you want the room to pop! #4 or #6 work because the pattern in the fabric seems to flow with the room better.

#1 The others are too distracting. You can always add a pop of color with pillows. and some of the other blues are too much. This print has more white and is easier on the eyes.

I love #6 and #2. They both add another "pop" of color in the room....turquoise or red. I feel the room need a little "pop". Good Luck!

All or beautiful, and I doubt you could go wrong with any of them. My favorite is #2. It just adds a little "something" with the pop of red. The room is gorgeous, just feels like it needs a little oomph, and #2 does that for me. Can't wait to see what you pick!

2 or 7 — I think #2 allows for other colors to be introduced in fall/winter if you want to bring in warmer pillows and did you notice how nicely it played with your foliage on the mantle. I also like 7 because it doesn’t shout “look at me” but feels subtle and high end, a good compliment to what is already going on in the room

#1 or #7 are my choices. Whatever you select will be perfect for your room.

All the fabrics are lovely Karianne! Loving 1, 4, and 6! But that #6............Wowza!!! Stunning and brings life to the room and a little drama like painting the back of that beautiful built-in bookcase! Can't wait to see what you choose!!

First choice #7. Second choice #3.

Living and loving with blue and white, what a difficult decision! I personally like 1 and 6 the best, though all are lovely :-)

I love both 2 and 6 as they both introduce a sweet pop of color!

I like number 4. It’s a totally different pattern with what’s going on in the room already, it’s fits in nicely, yet stands out.

1 or 7

1 or 5

#7

Our vote is 4, 6, or 7! :)

#2 or #6

#3 for me. The dots have a pattern but don't shout at you. This looks elegant and understated and this room already has a lot going on. Keep it simple and chic.

#1 and #7. I am leaning more toward #7. I cannot wait to see which one you choose!!! Whichever one it is, it will be gorgeous!!!

I love 1 and 7. All are beautiful!

Number one and three are beautiful options, but #3 is definitely the winner. It doesn’t change the feel of the room and looks soft without being too “girly.” The floral would look better in a dining room setting in my opinion.

1, 6, or 7. Only concern with 6 and 7 is the amount of light you said room gets. I’m afraid they will fade and be streaky.

Damask Navy all the way.

It's a no brainer for me.. #1 and #6!! I love blue AND turquoise and teal have become my new best friends!!! Nice to see that soooooo many ladies have responded to your dilemma... 😉

3 or 7, but 7 is my fav

I like #5 best. I think that the others will be too overbearing. They are all great prints, Personally I like #1 best, but I think #5 will be best in your living room.

Love #1 the blue floral!!

All of the fabrics are really beautiful, but I think you need to add another color into the mix. I think the blue floral with the red in it would be stunning.

Ummm—I don’t like any of them. They all seem too strong and too repetitious of the rug. These all seem to become the focal point of the room , though I strongly agree that you need to see your top contenders in a panel or gathered as if they were hung to get the proper effect. If you want the light and airy feel, go with lighter weight and lighter colored drapes. Guess I am an oddball here!

Why not do two different ones so you can switch out in the spring/summer and fall/winter months. #2 for fall/winter, you have so many other colors in the fabric you could bring in, and # 3 for spring/summer months. I know whatever you pick it is going to look great because blue and white are my favorite too!

#1. I think if you throw the red in there, the first thing all eyes are drawn to is the curtains..

Numbers 1 or 4!!

I like #5 or #7. I think stick to the blue & white for the curtains and use color on the pillows or accessories. If you use curtains with color and then start to not like the color anymore, you have invested a lot of time & money. Just my opinion. :-)

#3

Definitely 4, 6 is a very close second. I have the same blues throughout my home. Love your style!!!

#2... The red brings a third color in... the rule of 3's :)

No contest. Nr 5

I like 1,2, and 6.

Okay Karianne, here's my two cents. Scale and consistency. I'm having a hard time with making a decision because I wish I could see the scale of the samples in the room, plus so much colour is a departure from what we are used to seeing in your rooms. Sure you do colour accents and change them seasonally or depending on each room, but blue curtains I find a very bold choice for you and a colour commitment. Are you planning on having blue in every room now? I'm trying to think of your flow from room to room. How about a neutral curtain, or a neutral curtain and sew on a colour fringe or even just a band of colour horizontally sewn at the top? That way if you get tired of the colour you can take it off and still keep the curtains. Another thing I just saw on a blog was where they turned a carved shelf upside down over the curtain top. Or your sweet husband could make you some cornices (I think that's the word I'm searching for) that could be painted any colour you want while retaining your neutral curtains. Again, just my two cents. I know whatever you choose will be perfect for you and your family. I admire your taste and decisions immensely. Good luck😀

I like # 6. The navy gives an anchoring, solid, strong effect and the turquoise is a nice surprise. Feels traditional, but not too traditional. It's not too much the "same" as other fabrics in the room. That said, if you want more traditional and want to introduce more color, go with #2.

Number 1

number 7

I like 3 or 4 (leaning more toward #4). I love the way the darker blue grounds the window and I think it would really stand out with the wall color. It also doesn't scream, "Hey you, look at me hanging around."

Number 1 or Number 7. Definitely did not like #2. Good luck

Karianne, #3 or #4.

I like #2 if you are looking for extra color....or #3 for the all blue & white look. Good luck!

#4

Look at you branching out with color! Love Number 2. Keep in mind that red is my favorite color. So I personally have red in every common room of my house. I'm afraid if you go with just a blue and white curtain the blue and white theme will continue to have swallowed this room.

Number 4&6. Think I leaning a bit more to 4 (doesn’t look as heavy). These both blend best with the rug and do a wonderful job of pulling all your blues together!

Love the room and your selections! I would go with #5 or #7. Both would give you the color but not a busy feel.

#1 is my pick. It ties it all together without overpowering the room and allows you to bring another accent color if you choose. I am loving the room by the way.

I like #1 or #6 but #6 is my favorite. I like to turquoise with the blue in the fabric.

1 or 6 - love them both for the different shades of blue to pull the room together!

#1 or #2--leaning towards #2. You can bring in some red touches later if you want to ...would be great at Christmas to add red !

Good gracious me! Trying to find the end of the comments was a path through the jungle! LOL Okay. Here's another opinion: 1) Love this! 2) No. Even though it's nice, you'd be stuck with red. If you wanted to accessorize with another color, like pink or green, nah. Couldn't. Though nice for fall or Christmas but not the rest of the year. 3) Love 4) Love 5) No. To me, seems overwhelming. Like someone mentioned...paintballs. 6) No. Seems heavy to me. 7) Love. I'd narrow it down to three and then pick your favorite. I know. They're ALL favorites! LOL It is a difficult decision. So many lovely ones. Can't wait to see what you choose. :D

5 and 7

#3

Number 7, and my second choice would be number 3. Hard decision!

I vote number 1!

I'm going with #1 or #4!

#6 is my favorite by far. The contrast brings needed balance to the room. #4 would be my second choice. There is a lot of variety in the feeling amongst these choices which surprised me.

4 then 7

I’m a person who really likes red and consider number 2 as my choice. You could really add some pops of color with the red and think of what Christmas would look like in the room.

#2. Love the extra color!! But, I do like the simple #5 too!

I like #7.

#5~without a doubt.

2 or 6, Other colors need to be introduced

Yes, I can see it is definitely a dilemma. Wow. they are all great choices but I liked # 2 -the multicolored floral and # 6 as well....Can't wait to see which one you decide.to get.

I love #1. It pulls everything together

My favorite was #1.

#2, the multi-color floral. It speaks to the blue and white, to the green in your plants, and opens the door to layer in any accessories in other colors later. An all blue and white curtain will leave the room feeling a little flat. I think I read on young house love before that their advice on picking a rug would be to pick one that incorporates the room's colors but also introduces an unexpected color. I think the same advice could apply to your curtains.

make a set of each and swap out on a whim!! i thought number one because i've used it before and loved it, then there was number two! loved that too and loved the spark of red!! then number three, ..oye

1

6

Ok.... Totally see the dilemma. All are lovely, but here are my NO's: 2. As much as I love an eclectic room, so far everything is blue white so this looks like you re-did the room but forgot the curtains. Stick with the color palette. 4. Too dark for this beautiful light filled room. 6. Pattern is a little dated #90's Paisley 1. Just because, I like it, but need not as much as others. So that leaves 3, 5 and 7. I will need to get back to you. Sorry for my honesty, I'm from the south side of Chicago and that's how we roll!

#2!!!

I really like #1 with what you already have in there. I know it surprises you I didn’t pick #2 with the red. If you introduce some different pillows/accessories, it might work.

Love #1. Pulls it all together like its made for the room

Think I like #3

Just a follow-up question. I liked the Damask Navy but was unable to find it on the site I linked to. Is it from a different site? Thanks again. I can't wait to see what you end up choosing.

Wow--I see your dilemma! Any one would look lovely, but I would take 1 and 2 out of consideration, (The red might prove a little bossy, if you know what I mean.) I'd give the polka dots a try or let the family have a vote. Good luck!

I just went through this same fabric dilemma, it's such a hard choice. I think #3 has the beautiful, crisp contrast, but #6 would be my choice. It adds so much interest to the room. Also, it leaves open the possibility of adding bits of teal...which is gorgeous with navy and white. As for my room, which has a similar look, I chose wide navy and white, horizontal stripes...love it!

I LOVE #4!! The color and the pattern would look so great in that room!

I’m voting 1 or 7. I like the colors of 3, but not sure about the pattern, it seems a little stiff for the room. Maybe seeing the paint color wouldn’t help? The room is coming together beautifully!

#ONE

I like #1 and #4. #2 is beautiful IF you want to add some red to mix.

Number 7 looks like it would make the room feel soothing and cozy.....have fun making those curtains. I wish I was there as I just finished some really pretty ones for one of my daughters.

I vote for 3, the damask navy looks great in the room! They’re all beautiful .

May not be much help but I like 2,4 or 6. And mostly 2 because it brings in some other color options. Good luck!

I love #3, it still feels light and airy with a touch of formality. My second choice is #1, especially after you paint the walls greige. Can’t wait to see the finished room!

I love 1 or 2, I was a bit concerned with scale as someone else mentioned but the gathers or pleats in the curtain will soften the largest blossoms. Beautiful space!

I can certainly see why you have a dilemma each one seems to be prettier than the other however I am voting for number two. The reason for that is I think it will allow you to introduce another color if you wanted by season and also the color yellow that you said because of The brass you want to add. Also let me say that I don’t matter with all your serving and beautiful things that you do you still have the human humility to ask for help. Sandee

I love 2! I love it so much I have to ask you where to inquire to get a sample. If you have to have blue i’d Pick 7. can’t wait to hear what you decide.😊

I like Number 1! You know how we love to think we have any input!

#6 and #2 in that order. But really like both, a lot.

#3! It’s like a new take on a classic damask pattern. #2 is pretty, but I don’t know if you’re going for an Americana look.

I would choose number 3.

Although all of these swatches are beautiful, I believe they would add too much blue (and in the case of the red....it is beautiful but just doesn't seem like "you"). I think that the burlap smocked panels are the answer. They contrast beautifully with all the blues you have going, and add just the right amount of that "burlap" color that you have in every other room.

Hi Karianne, I like number one of the samples, and possible number 7, but I wonder how it would look with a solid blue the same color as the pillows on the chairs on either side of the window. Looove your blog and everything you do. You are my idol. Claire

I like 7 and then 6.

#1 or #7. Really you can't go wrong. All are beautiful. So is the room. So are you! Can't wait to see whatever you choose.

I love #1. The others are great as well.

I like all but the polka dots. I love 2. I think you'll be happiest with 7 because you won't be tired of it n a year or two and it gives you more options when changing pillows.

I like 3 or 4. All are beautiful— but I think either of these 2 look best in the room

If you want just a blue and white room I think number 1. It doesn't have the clean line print like ever other print in the room except the rug. But number 7 also has a different shade of blue which I like for dimension.

Love number 2.

the last one. make sure you line them or your fabric will fade.. another option would be to do a patterned tone on tone sheer in a neutral whitish tone. You may find that you get tired of the pattern on the windows. just a thought..

#6

#1 Really compliments the room.

I would choose #7. All are beautiful but I'm feeling the others would overpower everything else in the room.

#1

Definitely #7

#1 I am a neutral girl. So this is a hard one. I would prob go more white and a touch of blue. But of the fabric choices here I would choose #1.

I love your room but the multi color floral would add that 3rd touch of color I think your room needs. Good luck and happy sewing.

# 2 love love love the multi colored floral

No. 3

Love #2 (I'm a more color the better kind of gal!) But for this room my vote is #1 or #6.

Number 2 it’s lovely.

I am partial to #1 and #3. Good luck!

All are pretty, but #7 gets my vote.

Choose one of the multi blues for drapes and make a few pillows from number 2! Just a little pop.

Number 2, multicolor flower. While I love the serenity of your home (in its quiet moments!), you need a little more zing. Bringing in the multicolor will give your serenity a little more life and exuberance, while still remaining calm!

Multicolor floral - no question about it. Way too much blue with the other choices. The red is stunning...room needs a little contrast.

Before I even looked I had No. 1 in my head.

I vote for #6. It looks really good with your furniture and rug and isn't the same ole thing you see everywhere else.

#6 with #4 far behind.

2 or 7 who gets to tally up all these responses?! ;)

6, 3, or 4 in order of preference

No. 1 or 3!

1 or4

I like #1 or #4 but definitely NOT #5.

#2 it will go with your lipstick!

2- 4- 7 are my top 3 faves

I love #1. I especially like how it incorporates both the dark and light blues. Have you checked out Pagoda Teahouse fabric by Richloom in bluestone. I am obsessed with this fabric. It also comes in a color way called kelly which brings in some bright green with the blues. I've seen it at Fabric.com, Fabric Guru and on Amazon.

#2 or #6 - I think the room could use a pop of a warmer color.

I love #4 or #6. Third would be #2

Karianne, I am cross eyed from reading all the comments. Maybe one mere won't hurt. I think Plantation shutters would be good..There is so much"fabric wise " ( new word) going on in the room that a new pattern would surely distract. Maybe use stained shutters (to side with the gorgeous floor) . I know stain with the white woodwork...It is a new thought..and you wouldn't have to make the drapes!! And Twinkle Eyes would have to install. Don't take away from the room ,it is lovely..and a pop of color from pillows that can be changed now and then would satisfy your color needs. Whatever you choose will be perfect I am sure. But I am 91 years and my ideas are dated so what do I know. Jere

Number 1 but definitely not 2

Love number 3...

I go for number three, they are all fab, but I love this one best...happy shopping..xx

Top pick would be #2!

I like #3, #4 and #6!

Karianne......I’m not sure you should pick any of these choices! I think your getting “too blue and white” and in the future, be overwhelmed with too much of the same! Go neutral or completely off the grid with another color!! 😊 You pick any color....!!!! However I think I would go a soft white and make sure to add pops of color ....elsewhere (fresh flowers, a pillow etc.,) in hot pink, red, chartreuse, orange, yellow you pick any color and it will give you a fresh approach on a whim!! As, an interior designer myself, I hate to go to over saturated in one color unless your married to it for quite awhile (you don’t want to grow tired of it)! Good luck 😊

Oh number three PLEASE!! Ask yourself, which one makes YOUR heart sing!?

I like number 2 but I always love some red in a room. :-)

All the fabric swatches are beautiful! But all but number 3 just seem overwhelming in the room!

3 or 7. I like 1 as well. Blessings

My vote is for number 7, and then I would use the samples to make pillows! Linda S Pewaukee WI

Nice fabrics but not crazy about any of them for curtains as there are already a lot of pretty patterns in the room and another would detract from the rest. Also, may I suggest going with pure copper accents instead of brass? Full disclosure: I may be a bit biased as my husband is a coppersmith and creates handcrafted accent pieces for the home. 😊 It would really pop in that room with all that natural light though!

Number 2, please, more color in the room !

I think Number One is the way to go because it has the dark navy and the light blue also. Lots of opinions but I think #1 ties the room together.

I LOVE choice number 2! It adds so much interest and I think it will be great for the holidays when you can play up the red!

My choice is #1. I like that it complements the light, bright feel of your room with it's white background and that it also has varying shades of blue. My second choice was the polka-dot, but from my computer screen, the blue looks a little off from the room. Maybe in real life the colors coordinate very well.. My least favorite was #7, the light blue. While I think it's a beautiful fabric, I think they would become the focus of the room, instead of coordinating with everything. I love the airy, lightness of your room and I would stick with a light background.

#2, #1 or #7. All of them are beautiful, but #2 would give you a little more flexibility and I don't think you would ever tire of it.

No. 7 for sure.

1 or 7

6

Number 1 or 5

I love that room so much but personally I would choose solid white sheer drapes and add a simple blue trim down one side. I'm not a fan of large prints especially on drapes. I've always preferred more color and larger prints in pillows and accessories. When I get tired of them it's less expensive to replace. The bottom line is that it's YOUR home -- do what makes you happy.

#2 is for sure a room changer! It would make you bring red into the room and boy would that be nice!!! Just sayin'...

3 or 4 or 7 Not much help am I?

I like 2 or 7. All the fabrics are beautiful but these are the 2 I'm leaning towards. Big decision!!!

#6 , #4. They werent necessarily my favorites but they were when I saw them in your room.

number THREE!!!!

First of all, I can’t believe a decorating rockstar is asking little ole me their opinion. But since you asked, I’d have to say 1 or 4 and make some pillows out of 2 for when you need an occasional pop of red.

Totally taken with #2. Your room needs the red to break up all the blue. IMHO it would like too matchy-matchy store showroom with more blue and white that is in all the other samples.

I like 6 or 7. In fact I would like to get a swatch of each for pillows on my sofa With all these options you are still Going to be confused 🤔

I would choose #3 for two reasons: 1. The background of the fabric blends nicely with your white painted woodwork, while all the other fabrics are too creamy for wall and trim color. 2. The blues play nicely with the other blues that are in the room. I have my degree in Interior Design and sold custom window treatments for twenty years. Please take Into consideration the background colors of the fabrics,as that is what you will see when hung on the rod with the rings. You will not see so much of the pattern of the fabric, but the colors in the fabric in the finished product.

number two!!

Karianne, the room is perfect as is....don't even do curtains....less is more.....

#3 or #4 the rest are a little too busy with the rug.

I vote #2. I'm a fan of red.

Number 7 because it is the least busy

ABSOLUTLY number 1 ! The others are not the right hues and way too busy !

1, 6 or 5.

#1

Hi Gorgeous! Well quite the conundrum, hey! Well, for my 2 cents I would go with number two. I think having all your main colors only blue and white will get boring and fast. By having #2, you'll be able to bring in some of those colors easily with pillows and accents. I used to have an entire house all in blue and white. I now have none. Bored? Maybe, not sure. Just as I got older I was drawn to the colors of fall, which so happens to be my favorite season. Thus may be my pull towards #2, not sure but, that is my final answer. Good luck! Looking forward to the finished product. ❤🐝

I love all of the swatches you have chosen but I really love #3 and #4 the best. They seem to be more up to date and add fun interest to the room. I love receiving the emails with your blogpost every few days. Your humor makes the blogs fun and interesting to read and your style is amazing. Thank you for sharing with your readers.

My daughter and I think either number 1 or number 3! Such a hard choice! We love what you have done with the space! Good luck!

The blown up samples at the window of the blown up fabric samples throws one off because they are not to scale and it’s hard to visualize in actual drapes. But after looking at each one several times and analyzing what I like and don’t like about each, I’m picking #6 – the blue and blue and turquoise pattern. The fascinating thing was that I googled blue and turquoise drapes (which I do frequently to get ideas) and some interesting pics came up including one from Thistlewood Farms: The House Tour and the Beginning on Pinterest. (I was looking for drapes in a similar pattern with similar colors that you could pull in to your room just to get the effect.) With this fabric, I’d accessorize with the turquoise, a bit in pillows maybe but also in just a few other accessories. The room is so airy and welcoming now and the patterned drapes could ground it a bit without distracting, (but then maybe not so need to see it in scale) and turquoise is such a happy color. I’m eager to see the finished room.

The last one, #7 speaks to me. It is a difficult decision. Good Luck.

I don’t like 5, 6 or 7 lol 1 makes the whole room look like fine china (which I like but if that’s not the feel you’re going for, I thought should be pointed out) The one with the splash of red gives the room an Americana feel... (which I also like, but also thought should be pointed out if you’re not going for that look) And I agree with the above statement of “you won’t see the pattern as much when up and opened”, so need to see how the light glows through the background color against the new paint color

1 or 4...

I love #2 with that pop of color, or #3 with that beautiful blue!

I love how #4 brings all the blues together.

#2, no contest!

#3 and # 6 ... I love them all but weighing the room and all the blue already there, those are my choices. I liked the one with the Red , I love a little Red , but it’d be too much maybe

#2,#2,#2! That will really bring this room to life! Add lots of green plants and brass! GORGEOUS!

I like 1 And 7. You are going to have to get your girls in there with pens and paper and add up the votes. There are a lot of them ! Big decision.... Whatever you decide will be lovely.

Number 6

#1

I love 2 and 5. I think the room would benefit from adding a third color. Warms it up a bit.

#4 gives the best continuous vibe.

I like #6 the best, but also #3. I think you should paint the room first and then pick the one where the background color looks best out of those two.

If it were my room I would go with #1. I think it blends well but does not take the "center stage" in that setting. I think you could easily introduce any number of accent colors to your room at any time you feel the inspiration. I love this setting.

#2 for sure! It has that touch of red that you can pull in if you wish and the green which will pop with plants in the room. It is a beautiful fabric.

Being an Interior Designer in ATL, I love the blue & white ones...BUT #'s 2 & 6 are my favs!!!! So much more interesting 😘

I think some of the bolder prints are trying to take over the room. I like 7, or maybe another option. I am sure it will look door in the end. Laurel

Not being a blue person- I think #7

Myself I would not put up blue curtains. I would go with something more neutral i.e. white with maybe a hint of blue in them and let the rest of your living sing the song of blues for you. To me adding more blue in the curtains becomes overpowering. BUT that's just me.

I like #1 and #7 the best. They are all beautiful!

Number 1

Number 2 just adds that touch of class ... beautiful accent colour

7 or 1 in that order. Lovely options.

I like #2; introduces more color while maintaining the blues.

# 3 or 7

Isn't it interesting how many strong opinions there are for each choice? I vote for #6 - and I would pull the turquoise color out of the fabric and paint the coffee table and the backs of your bookcases turquoise. And here's another opinion you didn't ask for - a new room arrangement! ( I have this thing about symmetry...lol!) Try placing the two love seats facing each other, and the two chairs could either go on each side of the fireplace facing the love seats, or or in front of the window, facing the fireplace. Though it may not work as well for a blog photo, I think a more symmetrical arrangement could be really good in real life. :)

I like 3 and 7. I'm a 'less is more' kind of person so colored window treatments is HUGE for me but I do love the sweetness of number 7 and the bold but classic look of number 3. I wasn't a fan of the multi-colored fabric but I do see advantages of the red which you could play up during the holidays. Personally, that would be my last choice, along with the dot. Good luck making your final choice. Decisions like this, especially when it's a large investment, absolutely terrify me to the point of indecision.

#3

No.1 or 7

#2 - beautiful floral!!!

NUMBER 3: Damask Navy. This matches the feel of the rug. I WOULD add a bit of color to the room. Perhaps the pillows or the fireplace surround. The others look to matchy-matchy with the blue and white theme and thus, too busy. I would like the burlap curtians with some burlap color in the wall and some pillows. That's my 2 pennies :)

Definitely #7

#2 because it brings in a little color to the room. If you have to stay with all blue, I'd vote for #7. But #2 is what you should do (a little rhyme never hurts).

Definitely #1!

#7 has my vote. I love the texture the stitches on the fabric brings into the space. And the color is perfect. Looking forward to seeing what u decide!

I love 3, 4 and 7, but 7 is definitely, by far, my favorite since I like that it is a fabric with a blue background (rather than white with blue). All are beautiful though: I don't really think you can make a "mistake" here no matter what you go with.

I vote #7

Any one of them would be beautiful, but number FOUR made me catch my breath.

# 6 , you need the turquoise to jazz things up

I like #6 first choice and #7 second choice. I think the blue background against the light walls will give a nice contrast and not compete with the other blue/white in the room. I love your room and the beautiful yard sale piece of furniture. Can't wait to see it all put together! Thank you for sharing

You are most likely not like my opinion.I think just a beautiful ble with no flowers. My opinion this harsh print will blind you in the room. Sorry but that is ,my opinionI .i Just Love your Beautiful Home

I like #3 and #6. Number 6 is heavier looking, so because I am into "all things bright and light", I would lean towards #3. How nice of you to ask our opinions:) Good luck with your decision!

Number 3 almost repeats the pattern of the rug so that would be my choice to add continuity to the room. There are a lot of patterns in the room already so making your two biggest areas of pattern similar will help tone down the pattern stimulus. If it was my living room, I'd definitely go for pattern 2, but I like color explosion.

Om gosh I bet you have over 500 answers, and by now you have probably made up your mind, but for all it’s worth I love 1&2 mostly 2 because that pop of red is beautiful. I can’t wait to see which one you choose. Rose

# 2 I love the pop of red color! They are all great choices.....

1 or 6 - can’t wait to see what you choose!

# 3 is my choice.

1 or 4! HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!! You ask for opinions, you get 'em!!

Beautifully curated group of choices. They are all lovely. I prefer # 3 and # 7 for that room. The room is gorgeous!!

Definitely the multi color #2! Otherwise all I can think of is Bobby Vinton. Blue on blue, heartache on heartache.

I like them all, but # 1 gets my vote.,

#1 or #6. But all are beautiful!

#6 is my choice. I think it counter-balances the rug perfectly with the light and dark shades in the fabric. You can always add pops of red or any other color you feel like without fully committing to them. Plus, I love navy and turquoise together...I just do!

I like 1

I like either #3 or #4. But then I’ve always loved damask in that pattern.

Too much blue and white. Need a third color but not red. Try a blue with either a green or yellow color

I like your choices of 1 or 3.

I would do a large blue and white buffalo check rather then a floral...but whatever you select will be beautiful. You have done a wonderful job with everything! Can't wait to see the results.

Definitely #1 as my first choice and #6 after that if you're into turquoise (which I totally am).

Hi. Number 1 is my choice. I have a question, though. Are the designs so large on the fabric, or will the design be smaller and thus more subtle? I do love the colors in #1 in any case.

My favs are the damask or the stitched floral.... although that one with a bit of red in it makes me smile, too. I like the idea of another color in the mix. I think the pattern might be a bit much (for me) except when you take into consideration it's going to be folded or gathered, I'm assuming, not flat like the example. This room, though.... makes me love blue and white even more than I already did, if that's possible!

1 or 7

For many years I have operated a Drapery business — I design window treatments and I have worked with many Interior Designers. In the end, it is whatever the client likes and feels comfortable with as well as what “feels” right in their home and works well in their lifestyle. Having said that, I immediately, before seeing any of the samples, I felt a pattern that would: ground the room so it didn’t feel quite so stark white; and possibly offer more colors from which some could be pulled to change up the feel at different times. The “different” colors could be used in other rooms throughout the house so the rooms will “flow” from one to the other and have a feeling of being pulled together

1 or 6

Oh I can see why you are having a problem, each one was great on it’s own. But I would go with #2strictly because it introduces a little Red into the room. I’ve always been under the impression you need three colors in a room. Of course you could count your wall color I suppose. I really like 7 also. Actually you probably can’t go wrong once you decide you toss all the samples so you can’t second guess yourself. Can’t wait to see. What you decide.

I think all the samples are beautiful, but #7 just says FAMIILY, LOVE, LAUGHTER, and RED LIPSTICK!!! In other words, it is completely YOU!. Like I said, each one is beautiful, but when I saw #7, it just instantly looked like you. I really think what I like is that the others all look like pretty curtains, but #7 blends and instead of seeing curtains, you just see one gorgeous room.

Thanks for asking, it looks like everyone has an opinion. I prefer #3 or #4! I feel either would be great. I do think it would be easier to choose if you can narrow it down to three options and then the final choice. Happy choosing !

My vote is for #3...it’s soft and light which is how the room feels to me. Good luck choosing!!

3 or 4 were my favorites.

First choice #6. Second choice #4. Can't wait to see!

First choice is 7. If you want to add another color to your blue room then I like 6.

I really, REALLY like #2. The extra color of redish makes a statement. Plus those are my colors😀. I also like #6, again the turquoise gives an extra pop.

You will make the right choice for your room - can't wait to see which piece you decided to add to the room. If I were making the decision it would be the Damask Navy #3!

#4

Number 1 then number 6. Good luck!

Go for # 6.

Number 7 gets my vote!

Tie between #1 and #7. I like the fact that while these two have a pattern, they are basically neutral: one with blue on white, one with white on blue. Have fun, and I LOVE THIS ROOM SO MUCH!!!!!

1 or 2! #1 pulls in all the colors of the room, including the ceiling, but not the wall s:~); and I don't think it would compete with the rug... #2 does add that extra pop of color - and would be great in December when there will be more reds in the room. That was a great idea someone had earlier - to buy enough fabrics for a valance of your narrowed down favorites; the ones you don't choose can be made into pillows - genius!

I like 4 or 6.

#4 for sure. It has your dark blue, light blue, white and cream color that's in your love seats. It brings it all together.

I had it narrowed down to 7, 6 or 3 - then I took one more look and now I am thinking #1. So many great choices!

Oh, I can see why this is difficult! They are ALL gorgeous. My choice would be 1, 4, or 7 that look the most complimentary. Honestly, narrow it down to three, then pick the one that makes your heart skip (the most). 😊

3, 6, or 7!

2 is beautiful....second choice would be 7....3rd choice would be 1

Love #2 the best. The red and green make a nice contrast!

Ooh...they are amazing. For me I love 3 or 7....some of the others demand that you look at them only...and the last is a little too dark for that beautifully light room. Just me! I’m sure whatever you do will be just right...always.

#2 is awesome. It really has spark and allows a wider selection of colorful accessories per season

I would choose #6 as my favorite ! It is so difficult to decide because they are all great choices !

#7! I love the stitching detail and the muted shade. The room is lovely as is everything you do!

I like all of them but 1 or 3 would be my pick.

#3!

So beautiful!! I love 2 because I love just a little hint of red and will pull out the brass you may add. If you don't want another color then #7 will make them gasp when they enter that room!!! Full of charm. luv!!

#2. I like the pop of color.

#2-that little bit of red just makes the blue even more beautiful.

#1 and #3 my choices.

#3. Definitely!

Definitely #2. The extra red and green adds more dimension and depth to the space.

1 or 6! It's going to be beautiful no matter what but I see why you are having a hard time choosing :)

I love (first choice) #1 because it simplistic and beautiful. I really don't like the introduction of another color in #2. My second choice is #7 because it mimics the Plat plan you found in the drawer of the dresser you're putting in that room. Please frame it and put it in that room as well! Can't wait to see how it all turns out! xoxoxo

3 or 7

Love number 4!

Absolutely 1 or 4! Use color in your other things in the room!! These numbers are YOU!! Love love love!!

They are all very nice. My favorite is #3. Good luck with your decision!

#4 brings in your two blue variations and is a little bit updated damask or ikat. Second choice would be the navy damask. #4 leaves enough background neutral for you to bring in other accent colors for pillows, flowers etc.

Tough choice, but I prefer #6.

Number 6 or number 7

KariAnne, #1, 4, or 7. Not #2... would look too patriotic which is great on holidays, but not the rest of the time. Also the red is an eye magnet that prevents seeing the entire room. Wow! Great response from readers... and there is not even a give-away. 😘 ROCK STAR!!!!!! Judith

Number 4 is perfect in every way!

My absolute favorite is Number 2. I also like Number 1. Have fun whatever you chose!

I am going out on a limb and suggesting "none of the above". I love the idea of light colored solid drapery panels with a natural colored woven shade for texture.

#4 Definitely!

#4... agree with Libby’s comments... it brings in all your shades of blue and adds a little drama to your beautiful room... as always the fabric you choose really depends on the mood you wish to create

Wow!!! I vote 6 or 7!!!!! What beautiful fabric choices!!!!!

My choice would be #3 or #7.

I love #6

I’m reading all the above answers and just when I think I truly have an opinion I then agree with someone else. We may just be confusing you more because you are the true expert and designer. But my vote is #2. I would tire of all blue and whites.

I really like number 3

I know I'm coming in at the 11th hour here, but my vote is #2. I think having more color than just blue and white would add something and avoid monotony.

#7 is my vote

I'm leaning towards #7. Any choice you make will be beautiful!!!

Because you can see the whole room and actual fabrics in person, I know you will pick the right combination eventually. However,---I think the eye needs a place to rest, and with so many different patterns and shades of blue in the room already,(striped chairs, pillows, carpet) I think that plain white curtains would look exquisite and would pull the whole together. The patterns you've chosen are each lovely, but too much is too much. Please think about it.

#2 or #7

#7 has my vote too!!

#2- Multi-Colored floral: the blues match the room and the red matches your lipstick. Win. Win. :)

All are really pretty But I’d vote for #5 or #7

I like #1 or #7, The floral pattern in #1 gives the eye a break from the geometric patterns and stripes in the pillows and chairs. I like the lighter shade of blue in #7.

Number 3 or 7, partial to 7.

Number 5 is my favorite.

Am I the only one who got confused with photos, you posted the fabric then a swatch in the room and somewhere around #3 the system changed. I too think there it already too much pillow talk, but if you would remove some of the pillows and use the fabric that I think is #3 or maybe 4, not the damask but the different shades of blue sample I think the room would be beautiful I have always wanted the background color of my drapes to be my wall color. This room would also be pretty if you either corded some of the pillows in either a green or maybe made pillows in the same fabric as the curtains and corded them in either green or yellow and let that be your accent color the room would be pretty also. Also, a pretty gourd lamp in gloss white with a white shade with green or blue greek key trim would be a good accent. Good luck with your dilemma.

Number 3 because it looks simple and clean. Important to pleat your samples as they will actually be hung before making your decision. ..this makes a huge difference and will help you visualize and decide. Good luck!

2 & 7 - with the introduction of brass and the garage sale find the touch of red will draw your eye to those pieces.

Number 3 - nice, simple and clean and both navy and lighter blue. Not too busy and doesn't detract from other colors or patterns in the room.

Girl. You of all people know the power and magic of a good swipe of red lipstick. Is there even a question? #2!!!!! Pop of red all the way. It's so perfectly you. I couldn't even appreciate the beauty of the other fabrics after seeing that one.

I really, really, really like #2... the red looks gorgeous and will make everything else gorgeous too.

I also love #2 I think you need a pop of another color and those are gorgeous!

1,2 or 6

1 and 6

I like # 1

If this was my house ( oh boy would I love that!) I would go with number seven. I think the others are just to busy for me and I know that I would get tired of them. I also know that whatever you pick it will be wonderful!

I LOVE #6! And my least favorite is #2 with the dark red/orangey tones. And ... the dark sage, and the light ochre, too. It’s just a bit out of my comfort zone to bring in more colors! It would mean accent pieces in three more colors, and the “soft comfort” level of the room totally changes. I think that little bit of turquoise in #6 is just enough to add a smidge of excitement to the various shades of blue! I love the blues & whites now, and don’t think they’re “boring” (as someone said) at all! Whatever you select, I know it will be SMASHING! and can’t wait to hear/see. Though it will take you some time just to “count the votes!” I finally gave up and fast forwarded to this ~ “MY soapbox!” Love ya’ girl! (No rudeness intended here, just letting my “opinions” out!)

#1 is my favorite

One or four....

First choice #3, second choice #1.

Number 1 or number 7 but I think I like 7 the best.

#7

#1 but #6 comes in a close second:)

#2 or #7

#2 because you are a red lipstick girl! There's such a thing as too much blue......imho

1 or 7

2 or 7 have fun. Hard decision

4 is my favorite. I like the way it coordinates with your rug!

Definitely number 6

#3 Damask Navy is my fave - bold, modern sleek & complimentary to all other blues. Good luck!

I like 1 or 2 (of course I love red)!

All the fabric are pretty in their own way. My personal opinion is the first one. It has the softest look.

I like #1 or #3 if you just want to stay with blue and cream/white. I do like the extra pop of #6 with the turquoise. I think it just depends how far from your neutral look you want to go.

#3

First choice is #6; 2nd choice is #3. btw...I love how you've been decorating the room

Number 7

#2 followed by #1. Love the pop of red to make the rest sparkle.

Which ever fabric you chose, should be great. When you repaint, please attach the free standing bookcase in the back of the room to the wall. Looks dangerous leaning out that far. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but I couldn't help myself.

I love 2, 6 and 7....not much help! Sorry!

#2 or #6 caught my eye.!

Definitely number4. They are all lovely but that’s my favorite.

HAnds down, #6! The turquoise makes all the difference.

You do not need our help, you are an amazing decorator with a fabulous sense but since you asked, I would say 3 or 7. 😘

#2 & #6....I like the extra punch of color in these two.

Number 1 and number 6 are my favorites!

I like 1 & 7 :) honestly can’t go wrong wrong with any of em tho!

3 Damask Navy or 5 Geometric Polka Dot. I think that either would complete your look.beautifully in Karianne style..

# 1 or # 7

#3 or #6

So many lovely fabrics! I think any of then can work, but the need to be grounded with a solid header or solid side trim. To my eye, the pattern of the rug is running straight into the drape and some separation would be helpful.

LOVE #2...multi color floral...May I ask what the name of the fabric is?

Number 1 get smy vote... Love the room!

I like #1 but I think 7 would actually work better in the room. I like a pattern that looks fairly solid from a distance.

6 or 1, love the richness of the blues.

I vote for 1 or 6. PLEASE SAY NO to #2 because you will forever have to add red and/or green to make the curtains work - adding another color problem. With any other choice you can still add those colors but you won't forever be stuck with having the room look off without red. With #6 you can add turquoise for a different vibe - maybe a bit beachy.

#3 Damask Navy. Timeless, with some print/texture but not overwhelming (there are a lot of windows that need covering), and would work well with many design options. And it's traditional and classy, but still has a little something, just like that beautiful room and your home.

Either 1 or 3

I believe that the SCALE of the print is as important as the design and color so I can't voice an opinion without that ingredient. However, I will say, that I too prefer simple white with maybe an accent trim. I'd go with texture instead of a print. I find that I tire quickly of prints in draperies and they are costly to replace.

1 or 7 would look great

Wow. There are so many replies how will you ever get through them all? I'm voting for the multi colored floral. I surprised myself in making this choice but looked all of the samples over and over and kept returning to that choice. Loving the pop of red. It rounds out the room. I adore this room of yours. It's so peaceful and serene.

I love the multicolor floral. It brings just enough other colors in. The blues are beautiful, but I think adding a couple of more colors will really make the room!

Definitely 4 based on how it reads with the blues and the couch color. I also like how it works with the overall pattern play in the room.

Number 7, it’s a classic!!!

I love the blue blue and turquoise #6--I thought I was going to choose another, but when I got to #6 I just knew that was the one I would choose. I love this room! Can't wait to see your choice!

I have to go with #2. Too much blue and white makes it a "I'm at the beach" feel for me. I think you need the extra colors for fall and winter.

6 is so pretty.

I love #2 that adds another color into the mix outside of all the blue in the room. and gives more interest.

My choices #3 and #7. I love the texture of #7.

I like both #6 & #7 but leaning more towards #6.

Something about #7 speaks to me. It's very "Thistlewood". xoxo

I could see #7 throughout all seasons. xoxo

#1 Gorgeous pattern.

Love #7!

5 or 7

I like 1 the best!!

#1 is perfect.

3 or 6 !!

Definitely #4 curtain.

#4! Love the darker color in there.

#6 will pull all the colors together. Love it. Statement!

3 or 7 are my favorites. But I would paint first, then check fabrics again

Please go with #7!! It’s cheerful, airy, light, classy, fun and so pretty (Just like you)!! NO!! to all the others!

#7

I like the solid background on #7 for your room but I am not sure it is the right shade of blue to tie together all the other blues in your room. Matching blues can be tricky! Number 3 may be the best for your room but my favorite fabric is #1.

I love no. 1!!!!

I think #2 brings a bit more dimension by bringing a third color into the room.

#4 is my choice. Can’t wait see what you do.

You had me at #1.

1 or 5

2 or 6. Two brings in another dimension of color with the red, which I want to do in my living room but am unsure how. I love how you've done this with the fabric if this is what you go with. And six because it's dark enough to ground the whole room. I love either. Whatever you choose will be beautiful!

Definitely #4!!

#5 or #7

1 and 6

2 or 5

#6!!

Either 3 or 4

1 or 7 would be my choice...leaning towards 1 !!

Is it too late to vote? #7 is the best.

#1 Ellen Farnham

6, 2, 3 in order of preference

1 or 7 if blue is desired. Or #3 if a pop of warmth & color is desired. Personally I would pick 1!, I do know that whatever you decide, it will look awesome!! Your taste & style is marvelous.

I can see the drama effect of #5 and #7. Both will compliment the whole picture the minute you hit the doorway. #5 compliments the print in the pillows on the couch very well and continues the pure sophistication and clean simple beauty of the entire room.. Not sure if in real life (standing in the room) it is noticed, but in the example, it pulls from the pillows well and compliments them. #7 looks great too, my hesitation with it...... is the print one that will remain timeless (as in never getting tired of it). Bottom line. Go with the one that gives you that thrill of your first high heels and favorite tube of red lipstick!

Oops, I meant 2 in place of 3

2 or 7. I like the red in 2 but also the reverse of blue / white in 7, since ther is so much white in the furniture and rug

#6 would be my pick

Definitely#2, I think the room needs a pot of a different color.

1 or 3

3 or 7!

#7!!! Love it! Loved the multi-colored floral, but then you'd need to repeat the red color a few other places in the room. #7 gives you a solid color without the 'other color' problem.

Definitely 6

Number One!!! I think it defines you and your personality the best. Floral, fresh, very pretty:)

I like 6 and 7. Some of the others are busy or loud compared to the calmness in the room.

First of all-mad props at your techy skills. Loved your presentation "boards". Wow. I love 1 and then 6 if you plan to add any pops of aqua or teal to the mix. (Crushing on that color combo now). #4 is also a contender, but only if you think Ikat will stand the test of time...or if you don't mind changing them later. Final decision: you cannot go wrong with #1!

PS- I think #1 goes with the vibe of your house so far.

I’m late to the party, but I would go with 1 or 7 and keep your room blue and white without adding other big colors, like red or aqua. The blue and white is very soothing and looks gorgeous, especially for this time of year.

2, 4, or 6

Have you ever considered wooden or bamboo blinds? And just neutral curtains without blue? That room is really pretty, but I think it needs some wood. Sorry, you are my favourite design teacher but this time I am not agree. All the fabrics are beautiful ...

How do you even read more than 600 comments? WOW!! To be brief... my favorites are #2 & #6. #6 is an easy choice... but #2... that's a WOW!!

I’m loving #3 or #6!!

Karianne, I believe you’d be happiest with fabric # 7. Stay away from that one with the red, not gonna work in your beautiful room. Even though it is your home, I could be a very happy camper with that fabric in mine. Good luck, you have fabulous taste!

WOW! I had to scroll a L O N G time to get in my comment.🤣 number 1 & 6 were my favs for your room but I had to throw in 2 because I love red and that is gorgeous fabric! Whatever you choose will be fabulous rockstar!

I like #7

All the fabrics are nice, but none of them will appear as much or give the colors you are considering without a good white lining. The room is so bright, and with all the sunshine you get the fabric will be washed out without being lined. The photos of the fabrics you are considering show up because there isn't any light behind them to wash them out. Purchase samples, good sized samples so you see the fabric repeats, hang them from the windows gathered, as others have suggested, and walk in and out of the room at different times of the day before making your choice. Like your wall paint, they will look different at different times of day and months of the year. I know this isn't a quick and easy suggestion, just many of years of drapery experience.

I like #3 and #7. I recently order fabric thru lsfabrics.com. they have some very nice blues and whites, including a checkmate pattern. My favs in their blues are# 1099955 Casablanca White Flax and #1115690 Bindi Cotton but don't know if they are the same blues you are looking for. I was able to find a coupon when ordering. Good luck with whatever you decide. It will be fabulous!

Ohhh... I LOVE the idea of the cornices!! Though I do love some of these fabrics, I think any of them done in full drapes would make the room feel too heavy and formal, and like one reader said, the room would be swallowed by the blue and white monster. Ok, so I added the “monster” for dramatic effect, but you get what I’m sayin’... 😜. My favorite fabric by far is definitely #1 because it feels the most airy to me, but I also was trying to figure out a way to lighten it up a bit. I initially was thinking fabric #1 with a 24-30” wide puddly ruffle at the bottom done in the background color (maybe even make the ruffle out of a bleached drop cloth). But now I’m loving the cornice idea too! I’m picturing wood cornice boxes with a pretty, curvy (but simple) routed edge along the bottom, maybe some carved detailing to mimic the pattern in the rug, or you could attach wood appliqués (found on eBay and Amazon) to add detail as well. Then, paint the finished cornices navy blue and distress the edges and detailing to get that natural wood peeking out. Add those famous dropcloth curtains underneath (again with a 24-30” puddly ruffle at the bottom 😉)... and voila!! Beautimus Farmhousimus!! 😍 It will pull the blue up to the ceiling to add balance to the room, but the light curtain body will keep it from feeling too dark and heavy, and the puddly ruffle keeps things from feeling to stuffy and formal. Now I have to go find a room in my house I can do this in! Lol ❤️, Jeanetta :) P.s.- “puddly” is an official word now that I’ve used it three times... you know, rule of threes ‘n all 😉🤗 lololol

Hey! Beautiful, but I think #1, or # 6. Have a great weekend!

#5,,, polka dots win me over everytime!

I like 2 or 6. Leaning toward 6.

I like numbers 3 and 4. In that order. Though they are all beautiful.

I’d go for #4.

Hi, KariAnne, I vote for #5 which is fresh and different. I have #7 in the mudroom here at the farmhouse. I find the color to be a little dull and wish the blue were a bit deeper. Whatever you choose, you will make it lovely!

#2 or #6 your right it is hard to chose.

Definitely 6 or 4! ; )

My first choice is #4; second choice #6

7

I like the pop of red that #2 provides.

I like #2 or #7

1 or 6 (I like the teal mixed in)

#6 so pretty!

LOL - you should have done this post in poll form at the end, KA.,,,,so many comments! Which is a good thing, of course. #3 or #1. The red is a big mistake - you have enough going on to introduce the red, too. I like the last one's print very much but the background color will look dirty against all the white. Me personally would have plain blue and not compete against the busy rug and busy stripes on chairs. You're going from very neutral to a lot quickly - sometimes just a backdrop of a curtain is one's best bet and let the busy chairs and rug be your reason for introducing the blue color. I think I'd be more apt to paint the bookcases a nice deep blue (not too dark though, just a rich blue like in #1 and #3) and keep the curtains white. Again, I am probably stirring the hornets nest suggesting something totally different. OR paint the blue in the interior of the bookcases to bring color to the that side and tie it all in. However, that's just me - I tend to like to keep things simple and let one of two busy pieces take center stage and the rest be the supporting actors. : - ) Good luck with your decisions. Whatever you do will be amazing.

I like the one with the red in it so you can mix it up with colors other than just blue.

I like #1 or #6, I’m sure whichever you pick will be perfect,

I was going to say you need a little color, as in number two. Then I saw number seven and it is so beautiful and soulful. That would add depth. Enjoy this!

I say one but I think you have had enough help. Good luck with this.

#1 but I always like your choices.

1, 3 and 4. One is more traditional and I love that look. I think 3 and 4 would go better with your pillows.

# 1 or # 6. Just because!!!

With that carpet I have to go number 3

My suggestion is to go with one of the neutral on blue options, because the room is already blue on neutral. I think it would make a nice contrast. I hope that makes sense. Just go with mostly blue :)

After looking at all the swatches again I'm even more convinced the red would not be a good choice for this room. It's just too, too much. It would completely change this gorgeous room's tranquil vibe. Red is about drama, not tranquil, airy, or soothing. Please, no red.

First choice #7, second choice #1. Beautiful fabrics.

Number 4 or 6! All are great options except I would hesitate on 2 because it might start limiting your accent color.

1 or 3 ..love the blues

Number 1 and number 6. I think 6 is my favorite. I don’t know how you’ll decide!

Just chiming in with my big opinion 3 or 7 are excellent, all are beautiful maybe for other accessories! Pat

Whatever you decide will be gorgeous as always ... but ... since you asked I kept going back to number 4. It truly complements the blue chairs as well as the beautiful sofa. I cannot wait to see the final results.

It’s hard to choose between 2 or 6!!

Definitely 6. Second choice 4.

6

Karianne- I adore all the fabric choices and I love what you've done to the room! #6 is my choice because it brings the outside in the room with the turquoise green. Ironically we chose the same rug!! I've always thought any room needs a touch of green or black. Can't wait to see what you choose!! Best Regards. Paula O.

Number 6 just for me made it all pop and come to together!
