Awesome Red Bedroom Decoration Ideas

Monochromatic Backdrop

• Cover your room in a monochromatic color scheme and add splashes of red for an intense visual impact. A monochromatic color scheme is achieved by layering varying shades of one color throughout a room. For example, you may cover the walls in dove gray, add pewter gray bedding and drapes and a dark gray area rug. A lipstick red vase, one or two throw pillows and a painting featuring a single red rose would stand out in stark contrast to the monochromatic color scheme.

All Over Drama

• For an over-the-top fun decor, add red to every possible surface. Cover the walls in a neutral colored paint and paint a red horizontal stripe around the room. Layer the bed with different shades of red bedding and hang drapes with red incorporated into the design. There's a simple trick for making a room with this much color look good: keep it clean. Because the color scheme is busy, all other elements of the room should be calm and uncluttered.

Contemporary Combinations

• For a sophisticated space, add black through accents such as throw pillows, curtain rods, area rugs and furniture. If you want a funky look, add green. Green is directly across from red on the color wheel, making it a complementary color. The old adage "opposites attract" is the theory behind why complementary colors work in the same space and helps explain why they're such an interesting combination.

Traditional Combinations

• Combine red and snow white for a country vibe. Pair red with beige or cream for a French country look. Red and pink are a highly feminine combination, while red and blue adds a masculine touch.
