All facets of "passion"

Before planning the design of apartments using red wallpaper in the interior, you should carefully study the most trendy tones of the palette. There are several global categories, each of which in its own way will play in one or another interior composition:

  • Bordeaux and wine palette. These are saturated red, burgundy, raspberry, purple shades. Dark wine tones perfectly complement the interior of the living room. Non-woven wallpaper with an original texture and gold stamping will be an exquisite addition to the boudoir composition;
  • Poppy shades. These are quite vivid “representatives” of the palette. They well complement the plain wallpaper of white, black and silver colors. Such combinations are recommended to be used for designing gaming or work areas, where the stimulation of human activity is a priority;
  • Pale tones. Wallpaper paper, non-woven or “liquid”, resembling a rich pastel rather than bright canvases, is used to give the interior special warmth, coziness, sophistication or even some intimacy.

Red wallpaper for walls are most often used with the goal of simply but effectively placing accents in the room. For lovers of bold solutions, “total red” can be offered in combination with small “rest” zones where lighter and more delicate color solutions will be used.

Classic style

Dear classics, spectacular rococo or ornate and extraordinary baroque designers like to emphasize the decoration in red colors. To create a spectacular interior in a classic style, you need to remember the following features and characteristic features of this area:

  • Vinyl red wallpaper is better to choose lighter "poppy" shades that can give the interior the desired lightness, tranquility, and peace;
  • Black and red wallpaper in the bedroom looks good with a damask pattern. A well-similar finish will play in contrast with snow-white stucco molding in a similar style, as well as with a molding of golden, biscuit tones;
  • If the combination of red wallpaper and massive wooden furniture seems too gloomy, bright sconces and unusual lamps will help to “lighten” the design design;
  • Damask ornaments can be complemented by stripes of radically different colors (bottle green, purple, navy blue, chocolate, black);
  • Wallpaper in the hall or trellis in the kitchen will significantly “revive” the design if original paintings or photo installations are displayed on one of the paintings. Large murals with a pattern can show ancient drawings, landscapes of ancient courtyards, natural motifs.

  • Asian direction.
