Decorate A Red Bedroom

A red bedroom can be difficult to decorate considering how powerful the color red is. It can be tricky to work with, but once you find décor that matches perfectly, you can create the room of your dreams. Before shopping or decorating, it is vital to envision how you want your red bedroom to look and determine how drastic the décor you are willing to incorporate.








Instructions


1. Choose corresponding colors for your décor. When choosing other colors to go in the room, pick shades that complement the red, not clash with it. Consider brown, black or white, because these colors create a good contrast with the red. Avoid using colors including green, yellow, blue or bright orange.


2. Use light-colored flooring. Consider beige or ivory carpet or installing hardwood flooring. Avoid dark color flooring, such as dark brown, which might make the room feel and look too grim or harsh. If you are using light flooring, an area rug with red tones or patterns would nicely complement the walls.








3. Bring in bold accent pieces. A strong color like red deserves some bold decor to go along with it. Consider using black picture frames along with black and white paintings. You can also bring in a large mirror with an elaborate black frame. Use large white candles with red accents. Add black storage containers or trays to store your items and to serve as accessories.


4. Use matching red pieces. The walls do not need to be the only red in the room. Buy bedding that has some red in it as well as matching throw pillows. For smaller pieces, you can use red essential oil diffusers and real or fake red flowers in a red and black vase. Another option is to have a clear fish tank that has red goldfish swimming around inside. You can decorate the inside of the fish tank with red gravel and other red fish tank décor.


5. Incorporate good lighting. Use one drastic piece of lighting, such as a white or black chandelier hanging in the center of the room. For a more budget-friendly option, consider a tall, freestanding black lamp that has multiple light settings. You can also use a candelabra, which can add a unique touch of decor to the room.
