Our bedroom is painted a bright blue. What color choices should we use for curtains that are husband friendly?

My husband doesn't want brown, my mother doesn't want black. We have 4 windows, so white isn't much of an option unless we pair it with another color. Please help! It just can't be too girly! THe bright blue walls cause a seizure as it is!Our bedroom is painted a bright blue. What color choices should we use for curtains that are husband friendly?
Deep Lime green is great, or tangerine or pale sea green


Take a look at Better Homes and Gardens website under decorating. Lots of color ideas. Also getbooks from the library on decor.Our bedroom is painted a bright blue. What color choices should we use for curtains that are husband friendly?
The choice sounds good - are we ';invited'; to see when it's done?

I was just thinking (uh-oh!) If Mama doesn't like the choices.....maybe a soft, gauzy gray? If the fabrics were good the drapes could look floaty and cloud-like....not girly.

beige or yellow
what does your mothers opinion have to do with curtains? if the room is for you and your husband, and you like black, go with black. as far as picking colors, generally, you should decide on a curtain, THEN pick your wall color...
Try a dark blue, it may work okay.
Dark shades, such as blue and grays would be man-friendly I believe. A dash of white, perhaps two white lamps or sheets/pillows on the bed would keep it fresh looking at the same time. I'm also thinking of white and dark blue stripes somewhere, but if you do that keep the stripes vertical. A picture of a sailboat or something ocean-related goes great with blues and whites as well, for decor example.
why not do classy blinds?thick wooden ones at home depot?
well like a cream color or a nutral color..
A DARK BLUE
I would like a dark blue, along with dark blue bedsheets/blanket :)
I would try a gray or different shades of gray; something a bit neutral to equalize the color scheme.
Get bedding and curtains with blue in the print - stipes, floral, plaid, paisley, etc. Pair it with light neutral [ white or ivory ] blinds or shades underneath.
