You can use red to add color and attitude to your living room. Here are some ideas.
Warm up a room with red.
With an icy blue color on the walls, this living room needed a strong accent color to warm it up. Red-orange hues in the throw pillows, wingback chair and rug balance the cooler tones and create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
Go red in small doses.
Red doesn’t need to be the dominant color in a room to get attention. The barn-red lacquered chest and framed quilt fragment above the sofa catch the eye without distracting from the pretty fabrics and soft neutrals in the rest of the space. The key is to find a balance between deep, saturated hues and lighter, more neutral colors.
