Dreaming in Color: 8 Ravishing Red Bedrooms

I am not a morning person, so I will take any help that I could get for waking up early and feeling motivated to start my day. Bright red is an attention-getting colour, so it is a fantastic color for those who need help getting revved up and energized. Remember, however, that red was proven to raise blood pressure slightly as well as increase tension and anxiety levels, therefore it is not a fantastic color for those who need their bedroom to be a mellow refuge. Obviously, deeper and darker reds that veer toward burgundy are somewhat less “sexy” and more calming, so look for those if you prefer a more calming effect in your bedroom.

For all those of you ready to go red, have a look at these eight bold red bedrooms from around , along with a couple of strategies for working with the colour in your bedroom.

I really like a solid accent wall color, particularly when it’s picked up elsewhere in the room through fabrics, furnishings and decorative accessories. This deep red is gorgeous set against the rich wood details, and also the white wall helps lighten it all up.

Carpet Tile, Chenille Charade in Persimmon

Put together your own bold red bedroom carpet using carpet tiles. Don’t be afraid to mix it up by using two or even three different patterns and textures. As long as you stick with one predominant hue — red in this case — you can’t go wrong.

Here’s a softer red, that has a fantastic quantity of cooling in it. This is a good color to use if you would like your bedroom to have a more relaxing vibe than you’d get with a bold stop-sign red.

Harness the attention-getting power of red and utilize it in order to highlight interesting architecture or other trendy elements. This is a great example of how using small bits of the bold hue in a couple of places throughout an area creates harmony and balance — tricky to do with a color this dominating.
