Red is a warm, positive colour but too much of it can make your room go from warm and happy, to angry and aggressive. You have to keep in mind when it's too much and when it's not enough.
A good accent colour, red area rugs adds drama to any room. It's intense, so strong accessories like an elaborate mirror or furniture, will work well with it.
There are actually different shades of reds for various décor styles. If you're going for a contemporary style, opt for a bold, bright red rug because it will make you feel energised and alive.
Traditional styles lean towards the darker reds like burgundy, maroon and deep reds. These subtle, old-fashioned reds evoke a cozy, older century vibe. They're more sophisticated, serious and less energetic than the reds used with contemporary styles.
Softer red rugs in scarlet or reds with pinkish hues go with country styles. These reds have a richness and brightness to it indicating enthusiasm and a love of life. They're a little less intense, more youthful and more fun-loving than other reds.
Transitional styles relies more on pops of reds. Try adding pops of colour through home accessories to match your red rug or match it with bold patterns in a neutral colour. Lastly, modern styles go with all reds. Regardless of the shade, they're all statement colours so it's up to you to pick your favourite red! Don't forget to go with neutral walls to bring out the red in your room.
So don't shy away from using bold colours, since they will probably make your space unique and bring it to life. So why pick out one of our red designer rugs to add energy and impact to your room?
