Curtains beside a busy bedspread

A patterned bedspread may already give a bedroom its main visual gesture. Curtains can make a quiet frame around it.
Try a plain curtain sample that borrows one softer colour from the pattern. Hold it vertically and look from the doorway. If both fabrics compete, simplify one rather than finding a third pattern to connect them.
Check privacy in the hours the room is used and choose safe window coverings with suitable fittings. Follow cordless guidance where children live or visit, and keep fabric away from heaters and routes. A quieter curtain can still have an interesting weave.
