Red is a colour that gives off warmth, energy, and sophistication, making it a bold choice for interior design. While it may seem intimidating to incorporate into your home, red is a fantastic option for small corner of your home or accent walls. When used thoughtfully, it can create a striking focal point, infuse a room with personality, and complement a variety of interior styles, from traditional to contemporary.
To tone your look down you may opt to pair with a white, for example Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace. Pairing with whites helps to achieve a balanced look and lets your red standout without being overwhelming.
As always we recommend testing your chosen red paint in the room itself before committing to a larger tin with a sample pot. Paint samples are invaluable in observing how a colour changes throughout the day, from morning sunlight to evening shadows. The goal is to find a red that feels warm, doesn't appear too dark in certain lights and also compliments the overall look and feeling of your room.
