The bedroom is an important place in the house. It is in the bedroom that people relax and gain strength after a hard day. When renovating a bedroom, we are faced with a choice of what color it will be. Usually people prefer neutral, calm colors in such a room. Many people are of the opinion that bright colors are more suitable for rooms such as the living room and kitchen. But some people are thinking about a red interior for their bedroom. This solution is worthy of consideration.
Bedroom in red tones
Many designers love to create their masterpieces in bright colors. The bedroom in red shades is proof of this. Furniture from brown to light beige colors is suitable for a scarlet bedroom. You can dilute the scarlet with decor of a more muted color. A floor vase, painting, etc. can help with this.
In a bright interior, lighting plays a significant role. The light should gently dissolve in gentle rays around the room, there should not be too much of it. Small night lights and ceiling lights can handle this. All this will create a special comfort in the room.
Dark red bedroom
Dark colors go perfectly with the red palette, it can be either black or brown - this combination looks very impressive. A bedroom in dark red tones suits passionate people. However, this design must be approached with caution; you must not overdo it with black. After all, this color can make the room gloomy. Typically, this design is made in bedrooms that face the sunny side.
Oriental style items will look good in a red and black bedroom. A fan on the wall or an orchid in a vase. Try it, experiment. You will definitely succeed.
Red color in decoration
When trying to decorate a bedroom in this palette, for some reason most people make the common mistake of simply purchasing red finishing materials. But you can use curtains, textiles and even a chandelier to make your bedroom scarlet.
However, if you want to use finishing materials of this color, then you need to remember important nuances:
- The palette contains warm and cold shades. Warm ones should be used to decorate bedrooms located on the north side, and cold ones should be used on the sunny south side;
- You definitely need to choose 1 or 2 colors as “companions” for red, but three main shades are clearly too much;
- walls painted in a dark color make the room visually smaller, so you should not give up light and airy tones;
- When choosing each interior detail, you should take into account the texture of the material.
Remember an important detail: a wall painted red looks more active than a small fragment. Therefore, to make sure that the shade is chosen correctly, it is better to first apply paint to a piece of plywood. And only after that you can start painting the walls.
Red curtains in the bedroom
Curtains in the bedroom create coziness and warmth. If your bedroom is bright, you can liven it up with red curtains. Scarlet curtains will create the impression of luxurious decoration. It is desirable that they are not plain, but with a small pattern, maybe even ribbed. To “help” you can take red decor, a box on the bedside table, a red pillow on the bed, a soft scarlet rug under your feet. This interior will be unusual.
Scarlet bedroom: details and accents
If the predominance of red in the bedroom interior seems too intrusive or in bad taste to you, focus on textiles and accessories. Against the background of neutral light walls, mahogany furniture, lingonberry curtains and the same carpet on the floor will look very attractive.
The classics of the genre are bright red, pink or burgundy pillows on a white bed. For this combination, it is advisable to choose wallpaper in a pastel or warm cream shade and curtains to match the pillows. Don't forget about wall decor: posters, paintings and panels in a similar range.
The white and red bedroom is one of the most popular trends in the design environment. Scarlet splashes on a white background are reminiscent of rose petals on snow or strawberries and cream and are quite suitable for decorating a bedroom in a romantic way. A feather bed, a light white canopy over the bed, the same curtains on the windows and a few splashes of red textiles and accessories - this combination is reminiscent of fairy-tale palaces and luxury hotels on the sea coast.
However, palace splendor, based on red and white contrast, can quickly become boring. Photos published in popular interior publications will help you decide what your bedchamber should look like in red tones. Taking a closer look at the pictures, you will notice that bedrooms look most organic when there are not two, but several related or contrasting shades. Thus, designers recommend diluting the abundance of red and white tones with black, chocolate or gray furniture, accessories and decorative items. Try it and your bedroom will immediately become more lively and cozy.
Bedroom design: white and red option
One of the popular color schemes in bedroom design is the combination of white and red. Before you start decorating a room, you need to decide which color will prevail. A spectacular combination of colors in the interior attracts the attention of many people.
If you decide that the main color will be white, you can decorate the windows with red. Hang a picture with a red pattern on the walls, and lamps with a red tint. Small scarlet interior items in this option will emphasize the sophistication of the light background. If red color predominates, it is better to choose white interior details to soften the passionate, bright, bloody color.
The atmosphere of the red bedroom: the impact on the psyche and mood of the inhabitants
The color red in bedroom design evokes dual associations. On the one hand, this shade is directly related to passion and ardent feelings, on the other hand, it reminds of war, revolution and bloody battles.
If you listen to the opinion of scientists, then psychology recommends minimizing the presence of red in the bedroom. An excess of this aggressive color is overly stimulating and can lead to unreasonable attacks of anxiety, uncontrollable emotions and mood swings.
At the same time, competent alternation of scarlet with burgundy, dark red and neutral gray or white shades will help revitalize the interior and bring back faded feelings. The same psychologists recommend using scarlet accessories and background elements in the bedroom for young couples in love and spouses who have been married for decades.
You will like the bright and rich design of the red bedroom if you are by nature an active, energetic person, a pronounced extrovert and a sanguine person by temperament. In this case, an additional charge of vivacity and positive attitude, which is carried by a juicy berry-red tone, will definitely not harm you.
Red wallpaper in the bedroom
In a bedroom with red wallpaper, light-colored furniture will look interesting. It is recommended to mix the red palette with other different colors. The bedside wall can be highlighted in red. Paint the rest in light colors, from beige to white. Or alternate red stripes with light stripes. Light wallpaper with red flowers or geometric shapes will look original.
The combination of red with other colors in the interior of bedrooms
The red color offers home and apartment owners a whole palette of different tones and shades to choose from: from bright orange-red and scarlet to deep dark burgundy.
Rooms decorated with matte red colors look more subdued and elegant, while glossy and shiny red tones and shades are suitable for decorating more modern bedrooms in an exotic style.
It is also necessary to pay special attention to the popular combination of red and purple colors, which is very fashionable to use in the design of not only bedroom interiors, but also other rooms of a house or apartment.
So, in the next photo, the designers of Camber Construction used red walls to decorate the room, which go well with snow-white interior items and ceilings, wooden floors and, of course, purple paintings on the walls, a dark purple fireplace and a purple rug by the bed.

Red bedroom for a teenage girl
The color scheme for a teenage girl's bedroom is varied. Most girls prefer bright colors: from soft pink to bright red. These options are suitable for purposeful, modern young ladies. Design in red is a good solution. In such a bedroom, several zones can be highlighted in red, this could be a sleeping place with a soft red bedspread, a mirror decorated with a red carved frame. Decorate the windows with light red tulle. An extraordinary beauty will love this design.
Red ceiling in the bedroom
Red is a complex color, but also an attention-grabbing color. The ceiling in the bedroom can be made suspended. This ceiling surface is suitable not only for spacious rooms with high ceilings. A stretch ceiling with a glossy surface will visually enlarge a small space.
You can paint the ceiling, this option is good because when choosing a color you can choose the desired shade. Plasterboard ceiling: this technique will help to perfectly smooth out unevenness on your ceiling. And of course, the usual option for many is wallpapering. Wallpaper can be chosen plain or with a small flower. To prevent the bedroom from seeming dark, red must be combined with light colors.
Blue and red bedroom
Blue color is associated with freshness and lightness. People who prefer unusual designs will be delighted with the blue and red bedroom. In this design, you need to choose a primary and secondary color. Let's say the walls with red wallpaper are diluted with blue curtains. Pale white furniture is ideal for a blue and red bedroom. Lamps with warm yellow light will remove the cold atmosphere that the sea color can set.
Companion colors in the interior
When combining a red tint in the interior with other tones, keep in mind that their total number should not be more than five, with two colors being basic and the rest additional. If you chose red and white as the base shades, then you should complement them with gray, silver, golden, ocher or even blue splashes.
The second most popular option is a black and red bedroom: burgundy walls, black furniture, and gray, beige or ocher textiles or flooring can be used as an addition. If this option seems dark to you, then the gray and some of the red elements should be replaced with white or light beige parts; use large wall panels, curtains, carpets and bed linen.
Are you prone to bold experiments? Then appreciate the advantages of combining brown-burgundy with ocher-green and beige tones, coral with white and blue, and burgundy with pompous gold and sunny yellow. All of these are very winning combinations that, if balanced, will turn your bedroom into a spectacular and cozy family nest.
And yet, saturated and overly contrasting solutions for the bedroom are not suitable. Another thing is the red living room, where you can afford much more, from black and burgundy Gothic to white and gold Empire style against the backdrop of red velvet walls.
Red carpet in the bedroom
Red is the color of love, celebration, the color of the scent of roses, and sunset. Red goes with any color. A red carpet will suit any interior. In a bright room, a red carpet will dilute the simplicity and add brightness to the room. In the dark it will attract attention. Do not forget that the color of the floors should not set off red. If this is a children's bedroom, a bright carpet will add joy and energy to the child. In an adult bedroom, such a rug will create a sophisticated accent.
Bedrooms with red walls
A great design idea is to add a red wall to a bedroom decorated in neutral tones and shades, most often such a wall is located behind the bed, which allows you to create an accent and visually highlight the sleeping area.
