My favourite jars are blue:

Red Patterns on The Walls

Complex and exciting, red patterns and textures take centre stage in the bedroom.

The “pure” red of which certain abstractionists speak does not exist. Any red rooted in blood, glass, wine, hunters’ caps and a thousand other concrete phenomena. Otherwise we would have no feeling toward red and its relations.

By Robert Motherwell.

A French inspired bedroom. This guest room, designed by Tom Scheerer, takes its French Provincial flavor from Quadrille’s Lafayette toile de Jouy on the walls. Featured in the April 2009 issue of House Beautiful.

red striped bedroom

A bed canopy sets the scene for restful sleep; choose from crisp stripes, smart tailored linen or romantic sheers. Here, traditional French country style has been created by draping striped ticking from Mulberry Home across two poles hung from ceiling hooks with ribbon. A red floral bedspread from The Blue House adds dramatic contrast, while antique slatted doors on a built-in cupboard and a French-style mirrored dressing table complete the look.

This is indeed an opulent bedroom. The idea of layering curtains, creating fabric wall panels and fitting gold gilt pelmets above the window and bed was inspired by classical Roman decoration. Dunelm Mill fabric has been made into an eye-catching bedspread and cushions, and the luscious red carpet is equally decadent.

Bedrooms with Red Walls

There is no other color like the color red for maximum impact appeal! The color red appears to advance towards you while making all other colors in the room retreat.

Everyone’s idea of red in their minds eye is different as expressed in the following quote:

If one says “Red” – the name of a colour – and there are fifty people listening, it can be expected that there will be fifty reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.

By Josef Albers

And now for some red walled bedroom inspiration!

Pull one statement-making color out of a bedspread fabric for the wall color to get an unforgettable look. Here, candy-apple-red walls are bold and in control. For eye-catching artwork, paint empty picture frames white and place them on the wall above the bedframe. The white pops against the red, adding interesting contrast to the walls.

Red Baroque bedroom with walls painted in a bold Craig & Rose shade are offset with chunky French-style carved pine furniture and a gold mirror to make a strong statement in this bedroom. Light-coloured decorative curtains, carpet and bedding prevent the room from being too overbearing.

A bedroom has been transformed into a cosy haven with rich ruby red walls and a matching throw and cushions. A striking palm-leaf cushion gives the room a modern feel. Pretty candles and brass accessories, like the lamp, complete the warm and inviting look.

In this Oriental-inspired bedroom one wall is painted in bold red, which adds depth to this neutral scheme. Pale wooden furniture blends into the caramel-coloured walls and carefully placed accessories and the orchid bed linen from Next completes the look.

All that’s old is new again when spruced up with color and the appropriate comforts. This dark Gustavian-tyle bed from Viva Terra Here is made from reclaimed fir and is an ideal compliment to Benjamin Moore’s Vibrant Blush, a rich stain on the surrounding walls. Blue and white bedding soften the room, and stitched throw pillows add a handcrafted feel.
