• Create Colourful Layers

Playing with different layers of colours is certainly a great idea when it comes to adding colour to a room. Consider painting alternate walls different colours, such as red and white, and then adding red curtains on the white wall. This creates a layered effect and is not too much. You can also utilize this idea by adding a red statement wall such as a piece of art, wallpaper, or even layered red curtains. Red can be tied in throughout using cushions, throws, and so much more. 

• Red Striped Elements

Add pinstripes or bold strips to your room in wallpaper, curtains, cushions, blankets and more. Red stripes can be an effective way to accentuate your focal point of your living room while also adding a decorative element. Whilst this idea works well all year round, it will be highly effective at Christmas time to enhance the festive feel. 

• Smart Red Chandelier

A red crystal chandelier is a beautiful way to add a pop of colour into your home. As the light refracts through the crystals, red shadows are cast upon the walls creating abstract shapes and unique patterns. This is extremely effective in a room with white walls and can be elevated using red accessories throughout the room.

• Red Drapes

Curtains are the next component that forms an integral part of home décor. Red drapes can be dramatic and have a luxurious effect on an interior where deep red shades add a regal feel. From chenille fabrics to velvets, you can add that pop of colour using gorgeous red curtains. 

• Accessorize Your Sofa

A cubist-inspired red couch design that is both bold and simple is an excellent choice for the sculptural design approach. However, any colour sofa can be embellished with red accessories to add contrast. This includes red cushions and throws which are cozy and complementary to your interior. Even if you have a bright yellow sofa, add tones of blood orange red or fiery red to compliment the yellow best. This idea works with all colours if you choose a shade of red which works best. 

• A Red Accent Wall

Either a bold paint job using geometric shapes or patterns, or a red wallpaper can be used to produce a red accent wall in your living room. This wall serves as the focal point and can also stand effective alone or tied in with red details throughout.

•  Add Hints of Red

A variety of red tones when used can be effective to add colour. From cherry red to burgundy, pale reds to rose reds, there is so much to choose from. You can add hints of all these reds to your room through different elements such as coloured glass ornaments, picture frames, candles and so much more. 

• Accentuate with Coloured Lights

In a subtle living room layout, a strip of red LED lights along the ceiling adds an element that can elevate the décor to the next level. Red lamp shades and lights can also be used to utilize the romantic and mysterious effects of red lightings. The option to turn these on and off is also functional and means you do not have to fully commit to the colour red, as popular LEDs are interchangeable. 

• Retrofit the Red

If your home is already adorned in neutrals but you want something a little more colourful, simple items such as a red accent cushion, additional red wall art, or even a red bouquet of flowers may make a significant difference. If your budget permits it, invest in a bold red accent chair; this will make the colour infusions more permanent and deliberate while adding to the drama!
