Tips on Decorating With a Paprika Curtain & Rug
- The kitchen is the ideal room in which to infuse the intensity of paprika. Combine your paprika curtains and throw rugs with a plethora of pepper-covered items. A toaster cover, place mats, napkins and potholders are all possibilities with which to repeat the color of paprika. Weave some green into your kitchen decor as well. It's easy to find dishes, cookware and food storage containers in a dark, leafy green that presents a cooling offset to the heat of paprika.
- Paprika in the living room adds an inviting warmth that's well suited to the place where your family gathers and where you entertain company. Paprika fits well with the rich, earthy look of Southwestern decor or the exotic atmosphere of the Middle East. For Southwestern decor, choose throw pillows that incorporate all of the colors of the sunset and add accents of wrought iron throughout the room. For a Middle Eastern theme, select intricate tapestries for your walls that have a trace of paprika throughout them and choose a folding room divider with an elaborate Islamic art pattern on it.
- Use paprika rugs and curtains to create a cozy, rustic look in the room where you go to retreat from the world. Choose beds, dressers and nightstands made from rough-hewn logs, a hanging lamp fashioned from antlers and kerosene lamps to transport you back in time. Locate a down comforter with a floral pattern that mimics the paprika in the rest of the room and pair it with a dust ruffle and pillowcases in solid, spicy shades.
- The steamy depth of color that paprika possesses makes an effective statement in a formal dining room. Hang long, heavy draperies edged with gold fringe on the windows and display your finest china in a cabinet made especially to show it off. Use a paprika colored runner on top the sideboard and purchase paprika chair covers that are decorated with gold brocade. Add touches of chocolate brown to the dining room decor to increase interest and add depth.
