Decorate your home in red: here are 14 ideas to make every room in your home unique
When we furnish our homes we want the decor to reflect our personalities. To do this, it is important to understand what furnishing style to use in a room and what the predominant color will be. For those with a passionate, romantic and fiery nature, red is a natural choice.
Bold and eye-catching, red doesn't have to be used everywhere and on everything in order to create a stunning look. Just a few small and simple red accessories can suffice.
Let's take a look at 14 proposals regarding the use of red for the decor:
1. Ornamental vases
Who said that vases are only used to hold flowers in? If you like the idea, a red, ornamental vase could be for you. As you can see here, a vase like this certainly won't go unnoticed (even without flowers in it).
2. Sculptures
Sculptures, whether large or small, complement a decor in a unique way. In this example, the light color of the skin contrasts dramatically with the red headdress, creating a stunning piece of art.
3. Poppies for every season
Who said all flowers wither and die? Well, if you choose to use artifical flowers, you can avoid this ever happening. Poppies are, for example, one of the most beautiful flowers around. But poppies are also very delicate and die off quickly. Given this, getting some bright red artificial poppies (made from ceramic/porcelain) could be just what you are looking for.
4. Scarlet red wreath
Here is an example of a scarlet red wreath, made using a rondule of soft, wave-shaped felt material. Even though it's no longer Christmas, this wreath will look stunning in your home.
5. How about a red apple?
Red apples are a timeless icon, often associated with youth, love, romance and more. A faux apple, like the one shown here, will look good when placed atop furniture, in the center of the dining table, on the bookcase or on side tables in the living room. In short, it will look amazing almost anywhere!
6. Carpet
What do think of a red carpet like the one shown here? It certainly has a more "eccentric" feel, but it certainly helps to make this space look very elegant, no?
7. Fairy-tales
Pixies and red lanterns are just what you need if you want to give a rustic, fairy-tale touch to your home. Display them as singles or in groups - the choice is yours!
8. More on fruit
Artificial, of course, but just as beautiful and "juicy" as the real thing. The inside of these pomegranates could be the providers of the touch of scarlet you were looking for. Wow!
9. Candle holder
This deep red candle holder might be simple and small, but it definitely stands out. It certainly won't get lost in an arrangement like this.
10. Eternal roses
Red roses are the classic symbol of love - something all homes should have. Artificial roses, like the ones shown here, will stay "fresh" forever in you home.
11. Chillies
Showy, bold and bringers of good luck, these red chillies will look stunning in your living room or kitchen. And how about putting some in the bedroom too?
12. Fiery paintings
A furnishing classic, a painting with a scene on a "fiery" background will look very chic in your living room.
13. Coral
A piece of fiery-red branch of coral (artificial, of course), could be the finishing touch your living room was lacking.
14. Red glass bottles
Simple and somewhat vintage, a red glass bottle can be transformed into a unique vase, suitable to serve as a stunning centerpiece.
Are you ready to express your "flamboyant" personality by using red decor accessories in your home?
