Decorating with Red

Create a focal point with red design elements

Because of its richness, red can create a focal point in your rooms, even when used in small quantities.

Red comes in so many shades and is described by so many names, including cardinal, scarlet, crimson, cherry, ruby, garnet, claret and more. 

Many monikers for red reflect how exotic the color can appear; they’re named for parts of the world, such as Chinese Red, Venetian Red and Morocco Red.

Red adds passion to your interior look

Red is known as a color of passion; it also communicates love and beauty. Depending on your frame of mind and your culture, it can also be identified with energy, happiness, loyalty, luck and more.

Whatever red “says” to you individually, it’s clear that it makes a memorable fashion statement that adds personality to your home décor. It’s a refreshing change from the neutrals that most of us rely on in our home design plans.

Red is a dynamic addition to most interior design color schemes, and, do beware, a little bit can go a long way.
