Red is a stimulating, active color, but it is recommended to combine it with other shades for furnishing. Otherwise, the interior acquires overly aggressive features. Even for a well-lit room, it will seem excessively intense and gloomy. But with the right choice of the primary color or companion, the situation changes dramatically. The interior with red accents looks elegant and beautiful.
The most commonly used combinations are:
- The red and white range is usually used for common areas such as kitchens or living rooms. Both colors are pretty bright and independent, while white balances out the vibrant red.
- The red and black combination should be used with care and balance. Usually, accents are chosen in such a palette, for example, black furniture with red decor against the background of the general gray color of the scenery.
- The red and gray combination can be used for the bedroom. In this case, the primary palette is made in gray, which makes it neutral and calm. Red only dilutes the atmosphere. It can be used for pillows, upholstery of one or two chairs, as an unusual pattern. This combination can also be used for a well-lit kitchen. In this case, any shades of red can be used to decorate the headset.
- The combination of red and green appears to be harmonic and pleasant, but the appropriate tones must be chosen. Muted and soft tones, such as olive and dark wine, will be the best choice for living rooms.
- For a classic interior, you can choose a combination in which the primary color will be brown, and the secondary color will be red. Due to the proximity of the spectrum, the palette looks harmonious and calm, helping to create a comfortable atmosphere.
- Red can be used for rooms with low natural light levels. These will be bright accents that look interesting against the background of the primary orange, warm sandy, beige shades.
- Combinations with blue and light blue should be used with extreme caution. Such interiors, if handled correctly, will be attractive, but red is used in small doses.
When choosing any combination, it must be borne in mind that red refers to vibrant colors. Therefore, it is best to choose it as an addition, to balance it with calm shades or unusual accents.
Features of choice for modern or classic style
When planning an interior using shades of red, it is recommended to give preference to simple forms. For example, with matte or glossy surfaces, the use of muted tones without unnecessary or excessive decor would be an excellent solution for modern furnishings. Furniture can be made in burgundy wine shades. This color is allowed for walls or floors. But it needs to be balanced to make the background calm.
