I had some plain off-white curtains in our main living/TV room but they seemed geriatric. I wanted some more color and texture, so I bought these on a whim. They're fabulous!! They make a colorful, geometric statement and generally add all kinds of pizazz. I would say that they're more gold/mustard if you stare at them up close, but the overall "read" in the room is a modern deep yellow (my walls are a dark green/blue/gray, so it's a pretty combo). I would say that the style of these can range from mid-century modern to all-purpose contemporary. Finally, the quality seems great. They are really heavy with a nice hand. I have them on clips and they pleat really nicely for being so substantial.
