In the living room

The premises for receiving friends and relaxing with family are often made in calm, warm colors: sand, beige, coral. Such rooms decorate the red sofa, making them more luxurious. To make it fit perfectly into the interior of the chosen style, you can pick up other items for it: flower pots, photo frames, wall lamps, floor lamps and other products of the same shade.

On the kitchen

When you want creativity, originality and something unusual, red furniture will be the perfect assistant. It is perfect for the implementation of the most unusual wishes. However, you can not overdo it and mindlessly experiment with mixing different colors. For the background is better to take white, milk or beige.

Red causes an appetite, so in addition to the furniture of blood-colored furniture, you can add additional details to the kitchen - for example, curtains, a lamp shade.

In the room for work / office

Designers and psychologists do not recommend placing objects of bright colors in rooms where you have to think a lot and think. Such accents will distract, reduce concentration, even annoy. To create a stylish interior of the workplace, you can choose a burgundy sofa (preferably from genuine leather).

What is combined?

Independently choosing furniture for a contrasting sofa is quite difficult, it is so noticeable that not all experts agree to deal with such tasks.

For a classic-style room, one red sofa is enough to give the room an original look. You can dilute the unusual color for the furniture with more subtle shades - silver, golden, beige. But white should be used very carefully - such a duet may turn out to be too contrasting.

Beautiful, without aggression red looks with a brown color. For a classic style, a worthy combination of a red sofa and furniture made of natural wood would be an ideal option.

The most successful (and at the same time, the brightest) contrast is considered green and red.Far from everyone decides on such a combination, however, the most courageous then have the opportunity to surprise friends and relatives with a unique interior. Green pillows, curtains or a carpet with elements of a grass shade will add original style.

An excess of red can cause discomfort to the owners and guests of the house. This color is rather heavy, therefore its surplus is depressing. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to facilitate the internal filling of the room: replace heavy structures with lighter ones, if such a layout permits, weighty fabrics with airy laced, dense colors should be diluted with watercolor. You should not get involved in gold inserts (if the style of the room is not baroque), carved wooden details and fancy shapes. Heavy window curtains should be replaced with blinds, and a massive wooden table should be replaced with a modern glass one.

Where to put?

Not all people today adequately relate to red furniture. If a fabric sofa of sand-colored color is perceived as something permissible, then with red furniture, things are completely different. The leather upholstery of a sofa of saturated cherry shade will certainly cause associations with triumph and luxury.Not everyone will decide on such a "bold" decor. However, the richer the tone of the sofa, the “more expensive” the interior looks.

Psychologists do not recommend putting a bright red sofa in a room where maximum mental work is required of a person. Of course, this color activates nerve cells, stimulates thinking, but it is more concerned with creative activity.

You can not install such a bed in the nursery. A child will not be able to fall asleep for a long time surrounded by red.

But in catering establishments (cafes and restaurants) the color of blood will stimulate guests to take food.

The nuances of choice

There are a lot of shades of red, and it is difficult for an inexperienced person not to get lost in them (and even more so to choose the most suitable variant of furniture for themselves). How to choose the right "companions" is not an easy task, but it can be solved if you take into account certain nuances.

Creating a new environment, you must try to act according to the laws of composition, and for this you need to know that:

  • The dark red sofa (the color of ripe cherry, rich burgundy) fits the respectable classical style. Expensive upholstery materials must necessarily be supplemented with solid wood furniture, otherwise the desired effect of solidity will not be.A black and red sofa will accentuate a tree of dark rocks, ideally - lacquered.
  • To soften the red color, an additional “strong” shade is suitable. He successfully dilute the interior. But it is worth being careful to avoid busting. It is better to choose such tones as chocolate, purple, gray. Blue-red sofa perfectly decorate the dining area. Bright upholstery highlighted pastel colors. The floor with imitation of light wood will soften the contrast, and the room will become more comfortable, especially if you add yellow color to it.
  • Brick tone is considered the most gentle and muffled in the red palette. Thanks to him, you can create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort, it gently affects the environment, uplifting. This color is combined with any shade of red.
