Not sure how to accessorise to pull together an inviting, easy-going space that coordinates with the other rooms and respects the Indian aesthetic of the larger apartment. Red is a powerful color that has the ability to bring a room together and create warmth. Here are a few design ideas to spice up your living room with the many shades of red. Everything In This Slideshow Warm Up a Room 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.
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. An orange-red sofa is the perfect piece to give this living room an unexpected pop of color. Adding pillows with bold prints and colors enhances the sofa¿s presence as the focal point of the room. The orange-red color carries into an adjacent room, where it is used on the walls to create a visual connection between spaces. Stripes and prints from the same color family work well together. In this living room, the red striped rug and the ornately patterned red chairs complement rather than compete with each other because their colors share a similar weight and value. Red can easily be added to any color scheme. It comes in many different shades and can be used to create an overall feeling of warmth in a room or as a bright accent piece.
Here, the red-and-tan striped sofa with pale blue walls gives this room a casual coastal feel. A pair of plush red sofas paired with a deep blue chair strikes an elegant, traditional note. Black and white accents complement the two colors and balance the boldness of the red furniture. Tall ceilings and windows and light-color walls help keep the room bright and sunny. Brick red gingham furniture paired with floral fabric and soft yellow walls give this living room a fresh cottage feel. The primary color palette of reds, yellows, and antique blues suits a casual style and offers a warm counterpoint to the stone floors. Tie a large space together around the powerful color of red. Placing three oversize sofas around a bold red rug makes this spacious living room feel more intimate. Orange accents in draperies and throw pillows complement the rug¿s deep red shade. A little pattern goes a long way in a brick red color. The red-and-cream geometric pattern uses a little red in a big way to create the feeling of warmth and togetherness throughout this large living room.
The pattern repeats in the accent pillows on the sofa to connect the two furniture pieces and pull the overall room design together. In this room, pairing the red wall color with turquoise, yellow, and white accents keeps the look light and fresh. Working with shades of primary colors puts a new spin on a classic combination. The result is a modern, casual living room with timeless appeal. Play off the natural beauty of a brick fireplace by incorporating shades of red into the colors of a living room. The color combination of the fireplace with the white and red bricks makes a perfect palette. Natural wood accents and neutral furnishings let the bold color choices shine. To achieve a fresh look in your living room, try pairing chartreuse and red to get the perfect color palette. The bright chartreuse ottoman and the red pattern in the chairs and draperies work together to create a formal yet feminine look. The red from the chairs repeats in the piping on the ottoman. Bring a living room together around a bold red-print area rug.
Keep the rest of the room neutral so the attention stays on the rug. Add small accents in the same hue around the room to tie the look together. Living Room Design IdeasFor a contemporary living room, mix a red couch with neutrals. If you want to make a decorating statement, place a red sofa in your living room. Red is bold and draws the eye. When you opt for red, your sofa becomes a focal point and signature piece. The best way to furnish a living room with a red sofa depends on your decorating style. Contemporary A red sofa is ideal for a contemporary living room, and the look works best when you mix it with neutrals. For other large surfaces — such as walls, window treatments, floors and furniture — stick with white, black and white, or a monochromatic range of colors in shades of gray or brown. You can use solids, textures and patterns for fabric, rugs and walls. For occasional furniture, opt for a mix of glass, metal and woods with medium- to high-gloss finishes. Pop the red with two or three small-scale accents of red, such as an art-glass vase, a lamp finial or a painting with red.
Cottage For a cozy cottage look, combine a red sofa with upholstered chairs, throw pillows and window treatments in a mix of fabric prints. Floral chintz, ticking stripes, checks, plaids and feminine mini-prints are all charming options. Approximately half of the patterned fabrics should contain a touch of red. If you want to add solids in other colors to the mix, opt for solid cotton or textured chenille. For wooden furniture, mix rough-hewn primitives with straight-lined, shaker-inspired tables and curvier pieces sporting scallops or turned farmhouse legs. Lay a hooked or braided rag rug on the floor. Accessorize with collections of vintage china, majolica or primitive portraits. Traditional To make a red sofa work in a traditional space, ground the room with an Oriental rug that has red as an accent color, rather than a background color. At a minimum, chose a rug large enough to serve the entire seating area. Use one of the lighter colors from the rug as your wall color, either as solid paint or tone-on-tone striped or damask wallpaper.
Pull a couple of chairs — a matching pair or two different styles — into the seating area. Don't cover the chairs with solid red, but it's fine to use patterned fabric with red and other colors from your rug. Repeat the chair fabric for window treatments and throw pillows, or choose new fabrics that coordinate with the rest. Add cherry, walnut or mahogany occasional tables, ideally antiques or reproductions inspired by 17th- through 19th-century styles. Accent the space with a mix of English, Italian and Asian lamps and accessories. Bohemian In a bohemian living room, you can combine a red sofa with a multitude of equally striking colors, such as fuchsia, orange, lilac, turquoise, yellow and green. Paint the walls with bold color, or use a faux finish to look like crumbling brick or plaster. Opt for vintage upholstery and flea market furniture you can paint. Make window treatments, pillows and throws from exotic textiles such as saris, suzanis, rali quilts, tie-dye and batik. Layer vintage kilim, Shiraz and Bokhara rugs on the floor, even if they’re threadbare.
