These delicate floral office curtains are the perfect finishing touch for a feminine blush-and-brass home office.
While searching for sophisticated yet feminine curtains for my office update, I found a lot of appealing choices. I wanted something pretty that tied into my blush-and-brass palette without feeling juvenile or nursery-like. The goal was a subtle, elegant look that reads grown-up and refined the moment you walk in the front door.
If you are decorating a baby girl’s nursery with a refined aesthetic, many of these curtains would work beautifully there as well.
Below I’ll share which curtains I chose (you may remember them from the mood board I shared a few weeks ago) and highlight several other favorites I considered during the search.
If you missed my mood board, it began with the rug under my desk—the whole room design grew from that foundation. I ordered the rug as soon as we moved in to protect our hardwood floors from chair wheels while shaping the room’s color story.

Tip: Mood Boards
You can’t properly design a room without a mood board. Choosing items without seeing how they work together first often leads to a disjointed result. Use a mood board to ensure your colors, textures, and finishes flow together harmoniously.
Floral Office Curtains
I knew I wanted a feminine color palette, but it needed to be restrained because the office is one of the first rooms visible from the front door. I planned on neutral walls (Shoji White) and wanted curtains that picked up the rug’s colors and added a soft, floral pattern for interest.
After a lot of searching, I found gray-and-blush floral curtains that looked promising on my mood board. They arrived looking even better in person—exactly the subtle, elegant pairing I hoped for.
They coordinate beautifully with the rug in real life—photos don’t always capture how colors and textures interact, but in person they create a cohesive, feminine vignette.

I framed a few prints I already had and hung them between the two window panels. The simple frames keep the focus on the curtains and tie the two windows together visually.
The curtain rods I installed came from Amazon, though I’ve had good experiences with similar rods from Target as well. The panels included drapery hooks, which made hanging straightforward, and I added separate curtain rings to achieve the look I wanted.
I prefer hanging curtains on rings rather than threading the rod through the curtain top. Rings allow the panels to be pulled back farther and generally create a cleaner drape. It’s a small detail but it makes a big difference in the final look.
I’m thrilled with how the curtains finished the room. They transformed the space from its original state into a polished, welcoming workspace.
You might notice the decorative panels attached to the back of the desk; they still need a final coat of paint, but the room is inching toward completion. I’m waiting on one last detail, then the full reveal will be ready!
More Floral Curtains for a Feminine Space (or Baby Girl Nursery)
Curtains are an easy way to add texture and pattern. Sometimes a simple linen or velvet panel is perfect, but floral curtains bring both pattern and softness to a space. Below are a few other styles I considered—some are floral, and a couple are solid textures I liked for their simplicity.
The Way to Hang Curtains and Make Your Room Look Larger
Where you place the rod and how wide you hang the panels has a major impact on how large your window and room feel. The “high and wide” rule is simple but powerful: mount the rod higher than the window frame and extend it beyond the window’s sides.
A good guideline: install the rod about 4–6 inches above the window frame and 3–6 inches beyond each side. For length, if you open and close the curtains frequently, leave a small gap (about 1/4–1/2 inch) above the floor. If you want a more luxurious, tailored look, allow 6–8 inches to puddle on the floor.

If you missed the full office reveal, I shared the completed blush-and-brass home office a few months after installing the curtains. Stop by the reveal to see how the rest of the room came together and how the curtains integrate with the overall design.
