I was looking at the plain, default curtains in my dorm room and was inspired to create this design. I used the original taupe color as the base and tried to make it more interesting by adding geometric shapes (circles and squares) with gradient color changes. I tried to prevent making the design seem too congested so I started the shapes from around mid-height. I stuck with a more, toned down, deep color palette to match with the upcoming fall season. Throughout this process, I thought it was really difficult to create a design that I would actually purchase. Even though my intention was to amp up my plain curtains, I’m unsure whether I would choose this over the original. Perhaps this will be more suitable for another purpose, not curtains.
