However, following some rules for using red wallpaper allows you to create expressive accents that will turn into the dignity of your design.
We will figure out together how to ensure the balanced use of red shades in space, which curtains for red wallpaper can be hung in a room, and also.
Features of using red wallpaper for walls
Before deciding how and how not to use red wall coverings, you need to find out which shade will be preferred in your room.
There are several varieties of red, and each of these tones allows you to implement different effects in space:
Most often, red wallpaper for walls is used to create accents or highlight individual functional areas. For example, the living room can be divided into a recreation and reception area, into a working and dining area, a nursery into a sleep, play and study area.
Advice: if you decide to divide the space by creating smooth transitions between red shades of different saturation, make sure that such a palette is “diluted” with white, beige or gray inserts that will muffle the bright and oppressive design.
In addition to creating a lively and spectacular environment, red wallpaper allows you to achieve other effects. For example, with the correct use of this shade, you can recharge your inner energy and cheerfulness or tune in to a romantic atmosphere. In addition, red tones are considered festive, so your the room will always look cheerful and solemn.
When using antique effects (gilding, overflows, decorative moldings with classic shapes) for decorating red walls, you can pay attention to the details of palace and elite designs. Another one that is considered inseparable from red shades is themes of the East: such motifs are increasingly found in modern interiors.
Choosing harmonious shades
As we have already noted, red tones should be diluted with shades from another palette. But, since this type of wallpaper can be bright, gloomy, and even light, not all colors will look harmonious against the background of your chosen wallpaper.
The following color combinations in a red interior are considered optimal:
Remember! Excessive use of red shades in the interior can visually transform the space. The room will appear cramped and the lighting more subdued, so try to compensate for these effects. The best option is to use red wallpaper only on one or two walls in the room.
In some cases, red shades do not continue on adjacent walls, but move to the ceiling. This principle will not only separate the zone in your room, but also allow reduce ceiling height, therefore suitable for interiors with excessively large space.
Bedroom decoration
We started with a consideration of the use of red for a reason: many people make the mistake of thinking that this shade is ideal for such a room. But we hasten to assure you: excessively bright shades of red on the walls will not only not emphasize a romantic and passionate atmosphere, but also will cause fatigue and aggression. Therefore, red with pale pink or beige is considered optimal.
It is acceptable to use wallpaper with red prints on a calm and light background.
Advice: in a romantic bedroom interior, red wallpapers can play the role of accents: just stick them in small niches or on ledges, decorate partitions or other structures, or create small decorative inserts on free walls in space.
To ensure a deterrent effect in the red bedroom, try choose light-colored furniture. For example, it is acceptable to use glossy snow-white pieces of furniture. Vintage designs involve the use of tables, cabinets and other interior elements made of wood in light and dark shades.
Children's room in red colors
A children's room with red wallpaper is undesirable if your child is still very young. At that age any bright effects can serve as irritants for the baby. But older children perceive red shades favorably: it is believed that red, in combination with other vibrant shades, contributes to the development of creative abilities. That is why wallpapers of this type are often used for decorating play areas.
Red walls in the living room
In the living room, it is extremely important to strike a balance between bright and calm shades.. The versatility of this interior requires a harmonious combination of shades, since different zones have their own purpose in space. For example, a wall with a TV or paintings should be neutral, and bright wallpapers are not suitable for it, as they will distract you from viewing. But red wallpaper in the living room can be purchased to decorate the wall behind the sofa, balcony or play area.
Remember! Do not abuse bright red wallpaper in the hall: over time, you will get tired of such an atmosphere, and it will not be so easy to choose harmonious neutral shades. Therefore, plan in advance what you expect from such a design, and how to achieve the intended effects.
If bright red colors are a sign of dynamism and modernity, then more muted tones will suit ancient design themes (romanticism, classic, retro, art deco and even Provence).
In such interiors you can use patterned red and gold wallpaper: they can decorate the entire wall or act as fragments decorated with frames or moldings. These inserts can highlight shelves, mirrors, paintings or photo frames, TV, lamps and other interior items.
Other rooms
Red shades look luxurious and spectacular even in the interior of the hallway, study, bathroom and other spaces. A bathroom in red tones is usually decorated with an oriental theme, so make sure that the appropriate paraphernalia is present in the interior.
Having decided to create something extraordinary and stylish in the interior of your home, red wallpaper can be a great solution. Emotionally strong and bright shade will energize and make a lasting impression on guests. It is worthwhile to carefully approach the choice of shade in order to get the ideal result for yourself without a negative impact on the psychological state.

It has been proven that if you are surrounded by red color, blood circulation improves. And this leads to increased physical and mental activity.
Red color in the interior
Despite all the positive aspects of red light, it is rarely used in the interior. This is mainly due to some factors. First of all, it is very difficult to find a harmonious combination. For example, red wallpapers are bright enough on their own, so the rest of the palette should be only neutral shades.
Naturally, the wall decoration will be dominant, which can lead to severe irritation over time. Bright and active colors, to which red belongs, quickly get bored. And if you buy wallpaper in these colors, then you need to be prepared that soon you will have to re-do repairs.
It is also quite important to choose the right shade, because the red palette offers a lot of options: from delicate and soft to dark and very saturated. If you make a mistake in this nuance, then the result will be simply terrible, and it is often not possible to correct it.
Hallway
Red wallpaper in the interior is ideal for those rooms where people spend little time, such as in the hallway. Even the brightest colors can be used here. Basically, the choice of shade is influenced by the illumination and dimensions of the room.
It must be remembered that a dark tone visually reduces the space, and a light tone, on the contrary, increases it. If the hallway is large and bright, then the red wallpaper will bring a festive mood. Just imagine that, returning from a long day at work, you find yourself in a bright and positive room. Naturally, this will immediately cheer you up and restore lost strength. Any person will not have a trace of despondency and fatigue.
Red wallpaper in the hallway will be ideally combined with noble wooden furniture. It can be both dark colors and light. It is recommended to use light blotches of white light on the walls. This somewhat neutralizes the red and balances its effect.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, see red examples in the article) will also look perfect. Any variations are suitable for decoration: with and without a pattern, bright or, conversely, delicate, light or dark. The main thing here is to pay attention to external factors. For example, on which side are the windows. If in the south, it is recommended to give preference to a calmer tone.
Dark shades of red are also suitable for such rooms. When using the latter option, you need to pay attention to the palette of the kitchen set. It would be better if it acts as an accent, for example, it will be white or gray. It is not recommended to abuse combinations with black, as this can provoke some kind of aggression.
For rooms with windows facing north, you can experiment. As a rule, such kitchens receive little daylight, so the wall decoration is given a brightness that will create a feeling of sunlight. For such purposes, use a combination of red with orange or yellow. However, we must remember that with rich and bright tones it is necessary to be extremely careful. Furniture and other accessories are better to choose more neutral colors.
Living room
This room can rightfully be called the most important room in the house. That is why even the slightest oversights should not be allowed in its decoration. If the living room is used only for its intended purpose, then red wallpaper on the walls will be quite appropriate. Choosing the right combinations, you can achieve not only uniqueness, but also a sense of wealth and grandeur. For such purposes, noble shades of red, such as burgundy, are ideal. If you choose a wallpaper with a pattern made with gold paints, then the living room will resemble the queen's chambers.
Of course, the moments with the illumination and the size of the room are also undesirable to ignore. For example, if you choose a dark red color for wall decoration in a small space, it will only exacerbate the perception. In such cases, it would be most correct to combine two types of wallpaper, for example, the lower part of the wall is dark red, and the upper one is lighter.
Bedroom
In this room, red wallpaper is used extremely rarely. The only thing that can be suggested is only to highlight a certain part of the wall. This solution is used if it is necessary to visually correct the space. For example, the room is long, but narrow, then the farthest wall is covered with bright red wallpaper, and a calmer color scheme is selected for the rest.
Children's room
This is the only room where red is strongly discouraged. Why is that? After all, the child spends almost all the time in these walls. And as you know, at a young age, children themselves are very active and mobile, so they simply cannot fall asleep surrounded by red walls. An exception can be only in one case - when the child is passive.
