All Red Everything

Who says you cannot include red in everything in your living room and still make it look warm and cozy?

The red color is a perfect color to choose if you want a pop of color in your all-neutral living room.

In this instance, both vibrant red and dark red are introduced into a neutral setting and they both fit in fabulously!

Red Walls Only

If you are not a fan of red furniture but you still want red to be a dominant color, try painting your walls red and leaving the rest as it is.

This will look great with colorful living rooms that have a lot of red details.

You can also add red chairs or decorations to match the walls and make it look put together.

Pair Vibrant Reds With Black

Vibrant reds are always great when paired with white or nudes, but pairing them with black will make any living room look powerful and elegant.

These living rooms will look unique and you can add white lamps and decorations to balance it out.

Also, this works great with large windows as a source of light.

Checks And Plaids

Red is one of those colors that perfectly matches plaids.

If you are a fan of checks and plaids, you may consider adding them to your living room which will make it look more vibrant and fun!

This is perfect for farmhouses or guest rooms as well!

Red Cottage Core

Another way you can add red color to a living room is by including the cottage aesthetic.

Think about wood, fireplace, red plaids, old carpets – you get the mood!

Sour Cherry And Black

In case you like darker interiors that feel intimate and exclusive, sour cherry might be the right choice for you.

Red & White Charm

As previously mentioned, red matches neutral colors perfectly!

White balances red out, making it pop and keeping it at the center of attention! A marvelous combo!

Reds And Dark Grays

Dark red looks amazing surrounded by gray.

Add gray carpets, curtains, and wall art for the ultimate chic decor as these two colors are very opposite: red is warmer while gray is cooler. 

Chateau Red

Red was a popular color in the 18th century and can be seen in many castle decor.

If you are a fan of the antique vibe, try adding red armchairs in that style, curtains, or cushions to transform your neutral living room into a castle-looking room.

Do not forget 18th-century art!

Red Lounge

Mix modernity with elegance and you will get a perfect lounge-inspired living room.

If your dining room is connected to it, try to match it with the rest of the living space for the ultimate red moment!

Retro Red

Retro living rooms are IN again!

Red was a popular color in mid-century decor, so try to use vintage armchairs, cushions, and wallpapers in red so you can go back in time and still enjoy the warmth of your home.

Red Minimalism

The minimalist approach to decor is very popular, and red is a wonderful choice for it.

Red is passionate and alive while the minimalist decor can look very monotone, so they are a great match!
