Red is the color of romance and passion, but is not for the faint of heart… especially when it comes to creating red bedrooms. Because the color red can be both both daring and stimulating, it is considered by many design experts, such as HGTV, to be a design tool that heightens the senses and therefore needs to be used with caution.
From the strong reds including fire engine red & crimson to the more muted reds of Merlot & rust, there are many ways that you can incorporate the color red into the bedroom the help set a particular mood.
Painting the walls red can help make a bedroom feel more intimate, or you can use red on a single feature wall to draw attention to a particular part of the room or crate a unique destination space in the bedroom. There are also quick and easy ways to add red to a bedroom, to incorporate a pop of color, through bedding, accent rugs, and decor accents.
The Richness of Red Bedrooms
Red can feel contemporary, traditional, rustic or timeless, depending on how it’s used and what shade is applied. Because red is such a strong color, you don’t have to go overboard with how much red is used. Just a small touch of red can add drama to an otherwise neutral room or warm up a cooler room.
