Red bedroom: features and design secrets

In deciding which color to accent in the bedroom, a person more often chooses from calm, balanced shades. But the bravest are seriously considering the idea of ​​a red bedroom. And this option is worth considering.

Red is a powerful energy associated with leadership, power, passion, tension. It helps fight depression and bad mood, and can become a good stimulant of brain activity. If scarlet is present in the interior of the kitchen, it stimulates the appetite.

Red, of course, is powerful in terms of its effect on humans. But its psychological effect will completely depend on its intensity. It was established that its bright shades are capable of provoking an increase in a person’s heartbeat, they can even increase blood pressure.

And also color is subconsciously associated with danger, but at the same time it is also the color of action. With regard to the interior, this means caution and moderation using such an active color. Visually, he brings the walls closer, is able to visually narrow the space. But as an accent, it can be effective and beneficial in terms of visual effects.

It is believed that red is appropriate in the active part of the house: where people communicate, receive guests, arrange gatherings. But in a place intended for rest and relaxation, it must be abandoned. But it is not so.A bedroom in red is a challenge, but a bedroom with red accents can be stylish and cozy, and does not interfere with relaxation. But between the two concepts there is a very thin line, which is dangerous to break.

Again, given the fact that the red color stimulates to action, increases appetite, fills with energy, it can be taken in companions. For example, if we are talking about a bedroom for a person who has experienced a difficult life period, has recovered from a serious illness or is recovering from a difficult divorce, the red color in the design of such a room can become an assistant. It will help to return to an active life, to vibrant activity, to the very desire to move forward.

Needless to say, the bedroom is not only a place of sleep and tranquility. This is also the zone of the conjugal bed, which means that it is appropriate to talk about the passion, love, desire that should be present in this room. With the energy of passion and excitement, the red color is certainly friendly. And this is used by people who know a lot about the energy of color, strength. Again, it is not necessary to make a radical repair in such colors: the color can be used dosed, it will be like seasoning in a dish - it seems unprincipled, but without it the taste is not the same.

It is important to understand how to work with the color of passion in the bedroom.

• Well, if you know how to handle the borders of the color combination. You will understand what are the facets of their contrast. After all, it is the game of contrasts that is used in the design with the presence of red. The combination of different variations of red shades here works poorly, it is the contrast solutions that are needed (for example, a red-white bedroom or a gray-red room).

• The red bedroom needs bright, distracting accessories. The fact is that without them, possible global flaws will be very noticeable (and red, alas, displays all the flaws of the repair to the forefront). Therefore, an interesting small decor, special sofa cushions or a floor lamp, a floor vase, a picture on the wall will be salvation, if there is something to save.

• Think first of the style that will reign in the bedroom. And make sure that the red color in this style is in principle appropriate.

If you understand all the risks of using red in the bedroom, but do not intend to give up color, consider one single element that will be of this color. For example, curtains in the interior or the head of the bed, or a rug, or a floor lamp. Believe me, one element is enough to make the room brighter, and a certain temperament has appeared in it.

For example, in your bedroom there is a dressing table: a small area intended only for a woman, her intimate corner. Place a red velvet chair on one leg on the table. This is not the boldest step, rather cautious, but very revealing. Evaluate whether you are easily accustomed to the red in the bedroom, what feelings and moods this scarlet element evokes, whether you want to strengthen the share of red in the interior. If so, the experiment can be deployed on a different scale.

For some reason, for some unknown reason, the red ceiling in the bedroom (usually also glossy) was in fashion. Most likely, associations with the fire of passion worked here. In practice, such a solution can hardly be called successful: over time, the global red surface begins to oppress. Many admit that after such a repair it seemed to them that the bedroom shrank and became stuffy.

But if not the ceiling and not all the walls, then why be red - let's understand.

• Curtains. Let's say you have a bright bedroom: white wallpaper, very light furniture and textiles. You wanted a scandy style, but you got a cold room, which is associated not with frosty freshness, but rather with the operating room. Red curtains can help you out. But preferably with a fine print.And if you take a red box on the dressing table, a red decorative toy on the bed or a scarlet little bedside mat to the “company”, the interior can turn out wonderful.

• Cover. If you have red wallpapers and a bedspread of the same tone on the bed, this is hardly beautiful. There are exceptions, but usually this dominant red in the bedroom is annoying. But the scarlet veil of interesting texture in a white or gray room can be very appropriate.

• Carpet. The red carpet with a motley or small monochrome print is more suitable for the bedroom. It looks great in a bright, almost plain bedroom.

• Floor lamp. It will also look beautiful in a white bedroom, especially if its shapes are geometric.

But this decision, it is worth noting, is very "amateur". At first glance, it can impress, set you up for passionate nights and so on. But falling asleep and getting enough sleep in a room with such a bed is hard.

In the red interior, there are already enough emotions, passions, energy to be emphasized also by light. Therefore, he in such a room should not be on leading roles. Light should pour gently, dissolve in the background color. Floor lamps and small nightlights do an excellent job of this. Hidden ceiling lighting is also possible, it creates a special cosiness in the room.

It happens that in a white bedroom red spots are a bed and lighting fixtures. In this case, it would be good to maintain harmony in the texture, tonality. For example, the upholstery of the bed is “velvet” and a similar night lamp or floor lamp. Texture mismatch is sometimes more annoying than color misses.

Unambiguously, the “positive” column includes the ability of the red to energize, inspire actions, create a passionate atmosphere in the bedroom, and finally form the luxurious look of the bedroom (the color is psychologically perceived as rich).

Of the "minuses", the following can be noted:

• often the color (especially if it is slightly more than necessary) is able to inhibit, suppress and cause irritability;
• may be constrained in actions - some believe that the color is excessively majestic for them, begin to pinched and seek solitude;
• color sometimes leads to fatigue, causes insomnia and reminds of anxious thoughts, unfinished business.

The red bedroom in a radical solution is not just a challenge, it is also an examination for oneself. It is good to spend separate nights in such a bedroom, but it is practically unsuitable for constant rest, relaxation, quality sleep. Units can relax in such an interior, sleep in deep sleep and be at peace with their emotional background. Most people need red dosed, with accents and framing.
