A Color Guide for Red and Black Bedroom Designs

Red and Black Bedroom Designs

Here are a few design tips to keep in mind when decorating a bedroom in red and black:

Wall Color Ideas: The biggest decorating decision will be what color to paint the walls or what color wallpaper to use. The photos above have been arranged into bedrooms with red walls, white/light colored walls and black walls. The bedrooms with red walls are quite striking. As a result, there will be little red elsewhere in the room.

White walls keep the bedroom feeling larger and brighter, and is a great canvas to decorate the rest of the room with black and red pieces. A bedroom with white walls only needs a few splashes of red (pillows, rug) because each piece will really stand out. This is if you stick to decorating the rest of the room with white and black pieces – allowing the red to shine through.

The bedrooms that are surrounded with black walls feel much more intimate, cozy, and even smaller. This is alright if you just want to stay in the bedroom at night and use it for mainly for sleeping. Once again, not much red is needed to make an impact. Splashes of white, like the headboard and side tables with a light colored floor as seen in picture (9), can lessen the impact of the black walls.

The Bed: In any bedroom the bed will be the main focal point as it is the largest piece of furniture in the room. As seen in the photos above, the color of the bed sheets and bed frame have a big say in the overall color scheme of the room. The more striking bedrooms make use of red or black bedding (blankets and sheets) while the lighter rooms make use of white sheets and add splashes of black and red through the pillow cases.

Decorative Red and Black Bedroom Ideas: In a few of the photos above (2) (7), you can see the contrast a large frame has hanging on the wall above the bed. Dark frames work best here as they contrast the white or red walls. 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10

Everything comes into play when choosing the color scheme for a kitchen. In the pictures above you can see that the color palettes are made up of the main features in the kitchen: from the wall colors and floors, to the cabinets, countertops and decor pieces. So when you are looking at paint color ideas, you’ll have take note of the other colors that are already in your kitchen.

White is always a great color to paint the walls. This creates a blank canvas to decorate the kitchen with more colorful pieces like a blue kitchen island table, colorful light fixtures or cabinets. Other popular kitchen wall colors include: light grey, cream, and light green. One thing to note is that bright warm paint colors will make the space feel larger, while darker colors will make it feel cozier and smaller.
