Red Paint

The art of adding this fiery tone to your home is to use it alongside other colors that harmonize and balance its forceful nature. This allows you to bring out the subtleties of red without overwhelming your space. Red and gray, for example, is a dynamic combination for a modern home, with a warm gray softening the impact of red and giving it a more subtle, approachable character in a living room or bedroom. Team red and pink together and you have a charming ombré effect that can lift a dark space or breathe new life into a dull corner. Gloss red and white in a kitchen gives it that wonderfully modish mid-century vibe, or try something a little more daring by perfectly partnering red paint with a bold signature wallpaper in a living room.

Red can be combined with some surprising partners, such as blue that bring a cooler element to the warmth of red tones. Green works exceptionally well with red, creating a vibrant and striking juxtaposition. Look for wallpaper and wall murals that feature active combinations of red and green and use red to accent the contrast between the two, or try adding black notes for a showstopping look in a bedroom or living room.
