They shouldn't match exactly — that gets too coordinated. They should share a color family or temperature. A warm-tone rug with warm-tone curtains. A cool-gray rug with cool-toned curtains. Anchor color, varied texture.

Wool rugs and European linen curtains are the natural pairing — both natural fibers, both soften with age, both hold dye well. Synthetic rugs with synthetic curtains can also work for high-humidity rooms, but the visual quality is harder to achieve.

Curtains should generally just kiss the floor or pool slightly — not float above. The relationship to the rug doesn't need to be precise; what matters is that the curtain length looks intentional from across the room.
