Few decide to decorate the bedroom with bright colors, because, on the contrary, they note bad sleep and irritation. If, nevertheless, the decision to use red in the interior is approved, then it is recommended dosed decoration of individual items.
Finishing options
When arranging a bedroom in red tones, it is advisable to focus on one surface. The ceiling, walls or floor should be finished in different colors, harmoniously combining them with each other.
Walls
Wall decoration can be done by wallpapering or painting. The emphasis is on one wall, choosing muted tones for others... If the walls in the bedroom are red, then the floor can be made white, and the furniture can be brown or black. An extraordinary solution will add comfort to the room.
Floor
A universal solution for painting or covering the floor will be chocolate and crimson tones, the predominant material is wood.
Ceiling
In the bedroom with red wallpaper, the ceiling in light colors looks great. It will dim the design and expand the space (up). You can also use red, but in this case, multi-level structures are needed, which will visually raise the ceiling. This option cannot be practiced in small spaces. To emphasize the elegance of the room, you can use curtains in orange and cream shades.
Furnishings
Red bedroom furniture doesn't have to be complicated and fancy. The main and dominant place in the interior is occupied by the bed, and all other objects can only complement the space. The bright red design is diluted with wood (headboards, bedroom set, dressing table and chairs).
The brown palette is relevant, in perfect harmony with the shades of burgundy. This setting will be diluted with light objects (white or cream). Austere lines are especially appropriate for the bedroom.
The furnishing of the room is not very complicated. Of the materials, plastic and wood of various colors (black, beige, gray) are suitable. This is influenced by the shade of the walls: for light - red and dark objects, for burgundy - pastel colors. It is also recommended to pay attention to matte glossy surfaces, especially even shapes.
The combination of red with different colors
Regardless of brightness and saturation, red is not capricious, it can be combined with many shades. And all because the combination of different tones interrupts the scarlet, the interior looks more interesting. In order not to be intrusive, you can dilute the brightness by finishing, furnishing and textiles. Here are the winning combinations of red with other colors.
-
With white - a harmonious combination that looks fresh and relevant. The main role is played by light colors - in this case, white. Reducing the intensity of red purifies and refreshes the space. Therefore, you can use other pastel colors - orange, beige, purple. Do not be afraid of softening / diluting the color. On the contrary, additional elements can improve the design of the bedroom.
- With gray - Calm light shades are more suitable for a men's bedroom.
-
Black-red - restrained and laconic style of the bedroom. If the room seems busy, or you get bored with a dark tone, you can always refresh it with the same white. The inclusion of interesting textiles in the interior (linen, bedspread, curtains, statues, clock, carpet, mirror) can dilute the palette. The best option for a room will come out if two contrasting shades are applied in small quantities on a palette of restrained tones. Such an interior will not bore you, will not require changes. A bright mixture of black and red colors, the opposite phenomenon is coral and golden.
- With gold, beige, which is well accompanied by red tones... You can also take coffee, marble, crimson as the main color. This is how a rich natural color appears. It is pleasant to sleep and relax in the renovated room. This harmony of shades is the basis for the decor of the red room in country and boho styles.
- With blue - the leading role should be given to one of the shades, the second is used as an addition. Will support such a color scheme pure white with the ability to smooth out controversial moments. A good solution is the nautical theme, they just use different shades of blue. If necessary, you can always dilute the colors: purple, agate. The result is a calm combination of tones.
-
With green - different tones of green go well with red, scarlet, pink. Pistachio is able to complement a room made in bright colors. And also it can serve as the basis for the entire composition, and it is already diluted with shades of burgundy.
An all-red bedroom interior is rare. They try to dilute bright shades with pastels. The best option is to combine with brown, purple, cream, orange, pistachio.
Lighting
The choice of lighting sources should be taken seriously. It is not recommended to use direct and bright light sources. But even muted tones can play the exact opposite in a room - to bring darkness and an ominous atmosphere.
Therefore, it is so important to use several light sources at once (lamps, sconces, floor lamps) with adjustable light intensity.
Decorative lighting elements also look boring. The backlight can be used on the ceiling, mirror or headboard. When combining several colors on the ceiling, the use of LEDs will look advantageous - the starry sky, the milky way.
But do not overdo it with bright accents - this can only overload the space.
Screen lighting can also update the bedroom. Due to it, you can achieve special overflows of color. A shadow lantern, which creates glare on the wall and ceiling, can add romance to the room, make it more secluded.
Decor and textiles
It is not necessary to decorate the room in red: it is enough to make bright accents. Accessories in this range will help hide flaws:
-
pillows - decorative or regular size, but in different colors;
-
vase - weighty, made of any material, maroon glass looks good;
-
paintings - picturesque landscapes, especially sunset, poppy fields, red flowers;
-
curtains or curtains - dense to the floor made of velor, silk, satin;
-
carpet - bright red with an unusual print, in the bedroom in pastel colors;
-

-

-
