A passion color celebrated in a few days on Lovers’ Day, red turns out to be invigorating and warm. It brings warmth and character to our interior. It’s a classic shade that brings joy to our decor. In 2024, we find it at the forefront of decoration trends.
A warm and energizing color, red is well suited to rooms where there is a lot of activity. As it stands out and attracts attention, it benefits from being used to direct the eye, it is a good color for the front door for example. If you like, an accent wall will look great in the dining room, kitchen, office or playroom.
You should use red in small doses, like chili pepper in a sauce, because it is a powerful color. Dare, a little, a lot or passionately, depending on your daring!
1. Choose the right red
The trend is for bright, saturated reds: coral red, Chinese red, tomato red. The latter is one of the trendy shades in 2024.
2. Use it as an accent
In the bedroom, a red wall will feature the bed. Red is also a good choice for modernizing a metal bed or giving a second life to a chest of drawers. In small doses, red makes the atmosphere warm and invigorating. Also, a red ceiling looks great.
3. Dare to include it in the kitchen
Red is an easy color to adopt whatever your decor style, mid-century, farmhouse or more classic. It adds dynamism. Small appliances and red cooking utensils add pep to the kitchen.
4. Put the rule of three into practice
Red accessories have a tremendous visual impact. A plant pot, a cushion or a throw, all it takes is three red elements to set the mood.
5. Take out the paint cans
A stool, an old chest of drawers, the back of a bookcase or a baroque mirror will take on a contemporary look under a coat of bright red. Paint is our number one ally for modernizing furniture or accessories inexpensively. Pair it with warm neutrals, off-white or gray. Or, for a more decor fun, the range of roses. We can also use red to add punch with a red element in a white environment, an armchair for example.
