Red in the interior of the bedroom
If professionals start talking about the use of red in room decor, then most often they initially mean not a true red, so to speak, rainbow tone, but some of its magnificent shades, since there are more than enough of them in this spectrum. Just look at the charm of light pink, the nobility of maroon, the tenderness of terracotta, the luxury of purple-red - and you will certainly want to see your bedroom decorated in one of them!
Pink tones are the prerogative of girlish bedrooms, while pastel shades of red are versatile and can appear in any room style. As for bright red, it appears in the decor only as an accent. A little more often it can be found in the interiors of ethnic or Empire style. Soft, close to natural shades of red are good in the bedroom. You can safely make a berry background in the room or a floor covering in a color reminiscent of red sand.
In general, the red bedroom is just the room when the "weather" in the decor is made not by the color, but by its shades.

Making any room in red will require the creator to have a sense of style and attention to detail, and decorating a bedroom will be a real test of professionalism. Working with red, you will constantly walk on the edge of a knife. One wrong touch - and the design of the room will look depressingly tasteless, instead of pleasing you with style and beauty.
Learn to subtly feel the boundaries of color combinations, that is, the edges of their contrast, because the red spectrum will look expensive and elegant precisely in the game of contrasts. So diversify the palette and don't get hung up on combinations of red shades.
Bringing your design sketches to life, take special care to fill the decor of the red bedroom with charming accessories. Why? Yes, because they are able to brighten up all the shortcomings in the design, which, at times, frankly save the situation.Based on this, it follows that such decorative elements should be especially bright, diverting attention to themselves.
Global surfaces should not just differ in shades, but contrast in colors, however, this contrast should be adapted. However, the concept of color compatibility is individual for each person.
Before diving into the creation of your charming bedroom, you should decide whether the red color will be dominant in the decor or whether it is planned to use it only as an arrangement of certain accents. In the first variant, red will have to give practically ? interior colors. This is quite acceptable, and in some styles even in demand. So, they gravitate towards red:
- East style.
- Ethnic style.
- Empire.
- Victorian interiors.
- Baroque.
- English decor.
A talented designer can design a red bedroom in almost any stylistic direction, including high-tech and loft.
If you plan to use a color mix in decorating a room, then a little less than half of the space should be left for the red color. In such a colorful interpretation, a bed or a chandelier lampshade and some kind of panel can be made.

If you have come to the conclusion that the wall in your bedroom should be red, then paint the surface behind the head of the bed in this color. Alternatively, the head of the bed itself can also be made red, provided that it is large enough.
Even if you are an extravagant nature, do not strive to decorate the walls of the bedroom in blood-red colors. Ruby, madder, burgundy will be perceived much better in this room. Try to experiment! Move away from the warmth of carrot shades into the coldness of the blue of the red-violet and raspberry spectrum.
For the red bedroom, you can choose the combined design options. Rapid color is well perceived in a white frame. You can try to decorate the walls with striped wallpaper in white and red. The atmosphere will also be fresh and festive.

In order for your bedroom to appear in the image of scarlet romance, you do not need to start repainting the walls or changing the wallpaper at all. It is quite enough to simply update the existing environment and “revive” it with a small amount of bright colored accessories. So, flooring and furnishings can become red, but the easiest way to fill the interior with a red sound is using even less global accents, like:
- Curtains.
- Pictures.
- Bed linen.
- Fixtures.
- Bedside puffs.

red curtains in the interior bedrooms
This is more rational, because if it is necessary to change the red theme of the bedroom, these elements are removed from the interior without prejudice to the main decor..
back to index ↑Lighting nuances
The red interior has enough emotions to emphasize them with bright lighting. In such a bedroom, the light should remain in secondary roles, pour softly and dissolve into the background color. Floor lamps and small night lamps standing on bedside tables will wonderfully cope with this task. You can equip a hidden ceiling light - with it the room will become incredibly cozy.
back to index ↑Furniture
In order to furnish the red bedroom with furniture, you don’t have to make titanic efforts either. In such decors, pastel, black and white tones are great. Wood remains the priority material, although glass or metal furniture structures can be purchased if desired.
In general, any furniture with light facades will harmoniously look against the background of a red background - and vice versa, a light background of decoration will emphasize the beauty of a red set. The surfaces of all pieces of furniture that are planned to be placed in an unusual bedroom should be glossy. Give preference to designs that have clear, without ornate "bells and whistles" forms.
Do not forget that in the bedroom the bed is the central interior element, and all other furnishings only complement the style solution.

No matter how good the red color is, however, in the interiors it should not be present alone. Combining red with other shades is not an easy task, so the selection of companions should be approached with care. Oddly enough, but demanding and self-sufficient red wonderfully coexists with contrasting tones of both dark and light spectrums.
Red and white
The combination of these colors is the undisputed leader, and the dominant in this pair is white. Red is entrusted with the role of accent inclusions that attract or distract attention. Most often it is added in the form of curtains and textiles.
This does not mean that red cannot become the main background of the bedroom. It may well prevail in the decor. But to smooth out its irritating effect and eliminate obtrusiveness, it is best to use white accessories.
In a small bedroom, this technique will look very impressive: one wall is painted red (usually the one to which the head of the bed adjoins), while the adjacent surfaces are made in white shades. The visual effect of a spacious bedroom is guaranteed in this case!
Red and black
This pair is suitable for creating a red bedroom for active and hot natures. The combination of colors, of course, is classic, but the situation can turn out to be darkish. Beige and white accessories and bedding in the same colors will help solve the problem.
Popular red interiors
You can create a colorful bedroom in other ways. Try painting the walls in traditional soothing colors and run a wide red stripe around the perimeter. A very beautiful decor is obtained by decorating one of these walls with a large red flower.
Gray, beige and snow-white walls contrast beautifully with red textiles and furniture.
The red background, tinted with yellow strokes, makes the bedroom romantic, and the atmosphere in it calm.
Greens, especially the warm spectrum of this palette, will help to muffle the sensuality of red that is bursting outward.
A unique beauty element in the interior of the red bedroom will be decorative pillows.
Thus, on the bed you can collect all the shades of the red spectrum.
