The color of the decoration on the walls has a strong impact on a person’s mental state and mood. Therefore, you can rarely find red wallpaper in the interior. This shade looks rich and very bright. If you neglect the rules for its use, you can deprive the room of comfort. This article will help you avoid mistakes when creating the interior of a nursery, kitchen, bedroom and living room using red, and will also allow you to choose the best design option.
The red color evokes a feeling of celebration and looks solemn in the interior.
Excellent interior with red wallpaper
There are no separate rules for the use of reddish shades. They can decorate the interior in newfangled styles and classic ones, demonstrate the unobtrusive status of the room, or decorate it in such a way that the design lifts the mood.
The main thing here is to focus on the functional purpose of the room, taking into account the dimensions and layout.
Red and black
This color pair is perfect for decorating bedrooms in a Gothic or Oriental style.
The main rule: do not overdo it with black, otherwise you risk turning the room into a very gloomy room.
Types and their properties
Let's look at what coatings are offered by modern manufacturers and look at them in more detail.
- Vinyl wallpapers are available in two layers with vinyl, paper or non-woven fabric.
- Paper wallpaper is impractical. The red color will fade over time from bright light. But this is a good environmentally friendly material.
- Non-woven with cellulose and binding materials. Very wear-resistant and able to hide any unevenness.
- Textile with a front layer and a base made of non-woven or paper. They have good heat and sound insulation.
- Liquid wallpaper's structure is more reminiscent of wood or textiles. They are easy to apply and do not need to be pre-prepared.
Lighting and furniture
In such rooms, lighting is also of great importance. Saturated and bright lighting will be too harsh and unpleasant. Something diffused and soft would be much more appropriate. This will make the bedroom more romantic and cozy. Subdued night lights, elegant floor lamps or hidden ceiling lighting are ideal.
Red accents in the bedroom with wall lamps
There is also no need to select too complex and pretentious furniture for such a room. The most important thing in the bedroom is the bed and all other furniture should only complement and emphasize it. Usually, wooden furniture is added to red interiors, because its brown-unobtrusive palette is ideally combined with red shades. Very light furniture looks good in such interiors, but there is no need to choose something ornate. Strict, straight lines are much more interesting and appropriate in such a bright bedroom.
If you have already decided to decorate the bedroom in red tones, then try to carefully dose such a bright color.
The bedroom should not cause irritation and overstimulate the psyche. The design, with proper design, can very well turn out to be cozy and filled with love.

Bright room design ideas
Design with plain wallpaper. It is not recommended to completely decorate the interior with red wallpaper. Try creating an accent on one of the walls or use red for zoning.
However, if you decide to decorate the entire perimeter with it, it is better to use soft colors along with abundant lighting.
All facets of "passion"
Before planning the decoration of your apartment using red wallpaper in the interior, you should carefully study the most trendy tones of the palette. There are several global categories, each of which will play in its own way in a particular interior composition:
- Bordeaux and wine palette. These are rich red, burgundy, crimson, purple shades. Dark wine tones will perfectly complement the interior of the living room. Non-woven wallpaper with an original texture and gold embossing will be an elegant addition to a boudoir composition;
- Poppy shades. These are quite bright “representatives” of the palette. They complement well the plain wallpaper of white, black and silver colors. Such combinations are recommended for use in the design of play or work areas, where stimulation of human activity is a priority;
- Pale tones. Paper, non-woven or “liquid” wallpapers, reminiscent of rich pastels rather than bright canvases, are used to give the interior special warmth, comfort, sophistication or even some intimacy.
Red wallpaper for walls is most often used to simply but effectively add accents to a room. For lovers of bold solutions, we can offer “total red” in combination with small “quiet” zones, where lighter and more delicate color solutions will be used.
Wallpaper in 3D design
Instead of ordinary photo wallpapers, today the 3D format is more often used, on which any image can be perfectly recreated. With their help, red can be made basic or fragmentary.
“Edible” drawings are for the kitchen, a mix of colors for the living room, something quieter for a personal office or bedroom.
Red as a decorative element
In principle, it is not at all necessary to make the beds with red sheets, repaint the walls scarlet and add red lighting in the room. Sometimes it is enough to “introduce” elements of energetic color into already finished rooms.
So to speak, you can disperse red accents around the room. For example, it could be a white bedroom, where burgundy floor lamps and wine-colored curtains will fit very harmoniously, because these are the shades that help emphasize the atmosphere of luxury.
A good choice would be ottomans, paintings, garlands of the appropriate shade.
Hallway with red wallpaper
Since the hallway is the calling card of any apartment, its interior should be appropriate. Here you can safely experiment with red colors, making them background or contrasting, even with an extraordinary combination of shades.
- Use neutral furniture. Deep red color can attract space, creating a cramped effect.
- Therefore, it is better to use lighter shades.
- As an example, we will show a photo with red wallpaper in the hallway, where the rich color is diluted with light doors and baseboards.
The advantages of the red palette
Red wallpaper for walls will be a powerful stimulator of mental activity and physical activity. Human consciousness simply cannot ignore scarlet tones. Virtually all representatives of this color category (in particular pink, purple, terracotta shades) personify joy, solemnity, pretentiousness and positivity.
Beautiful red wallpaper of any type and texture perfectly complements virtually any interior, giving the composition special sophistication and respectability. They go well with any finishing materials, furniture of different formats, and add a special shine to textile additions in the interior.
Wallpaper for the living room for different styles
If you want to decorate your living room like a classic, you can skillfully combine red plaid with antique furniture. Then a unique aristocracy will appear in the interior of the living room.
But if the layout is in a modern style (for example, a loft), then you can limit yourself to plain wallpaper.
Living room
In the room where guests are usually received, wallpaper with different shades of red is used.
This depends on the overall style of the room - modern style uses bright, rich shades of red more, while more muted shades are used in traditional interior styles.
Designers suggest using large photo wallpapers with red flowers in the living room.
Bedroom in red
Using red in the bedroom is not the optimal solution, but you shouldn’t give it up completely. We recommend using color combinations with pastel tones and any shades of gray, gold and silver.
It is very fashionable today to zone a room using colors or skillfully alternate them, which will look more impressive.
- The bedroom will look chic if you apply red wallpaper with golden ornaments or with silver and bronze patterns.
- Such combinations will definitely appeal to true beauty connoisseurs.
- The predominant red can be diluted by arranging furniture and furniture with a white, gray or beige surface.
- For example, a white bed and a chocolate-colored bedside table placed next to it, and nearby a chest of drawers and a wardrobe with a white-brown surface.
Which style to choose?
Classic
Warm light red color with a terracotta tint goes well with natural wood furniture. The interior should not be overloaded with details; the red tint of the walls will become the main accent of the design. The decoration will be complemented by a light floor and a dark ceiling.
Modern
The interior can combine different colors and textures. The wine shade of dark red combines well with gray, creating a strict and chic interior. A warm shade of red combined with white or bright colors gives positive energy. Walls with abstraction create a creative and fashionable design.
Loft
Red brick wallpaper is a classic way to decorate walls for a loft style. Design should include plenty of natural light.
Country
It is characterized as a rustic style, in which natural materials are abundantly present. The walls can be decorated with red wallpaper imitating painted wood. Laminate or parquet and ceiling beams, all the details in the overall picture give the room coziness. Rustic wall decor will look harmonious against a red background.

Trending ideas in kitchen design
For a red kitchen wallpaper, it is better to use a calm, neutral palette that can relieve emotional fatigue and promote good rest. Shades of milky white or caramel shades fit perfectly here.
Any prints or designs in the kitchen will simply be out of place. It is better to use stains of white, beige and light gray shades or a coffee or wood palette.
With a large room area, you can safely experiment with combinations. For example, create one accent wall in red. Or use photo wallpaper depicting vegetables and fruits.
It is important to maintain a balance between the red shades of the walls and the covering of furniture, including kitchen units. Otherwise, a color imbalance will occur.
Ideal color combinations
A red bedroom in one palette will be difficult for the psyche, so it is recommended to use different color combinations. Although the color is rather capricious, there are still winning combinations. Surprisingly, this color loves contrasts and is most vibrant with an interweaving of both light and dark tones.
The red and white bedroom takes a leading position in the design world. Preference is given to white, and red is already used for accents. White wallpaper and bright red lamps on the walls look amazing. In a white room, you can highlight the windows by ordering red curtains or curtains. Sometimes the design is reversed and preference is given to red. Then white inclusions soften with their coldness the excessively hot temperament of red. By highlighting one wall with scarlet and the adjacent walls with white, you can significantly visually expand the space, which is necessary in a small room.
Large red and white bedroom
A black and red bedroom is chosen by very sensual and passionate people. You should be careful, because black can make the room too gloomy. This aspect can be softened with lighter colors in bedding and small accessories. Rich black can be combined with steel gray or beige cream. This contrast is softer, but still very effective.

It has a special impact on each person, however, a carefully and properly thought-out interior of a red bedroom can minimize all negative impacts, and, on the contrary, enhance those features that a person would like to emphasize.
- According to psychologists, the influence of the color under discussion on the human body is directly related to what shade is taken for consideration.
- For example, shades of the warm spectrum carry calming notes, while cold ones cause nervous disorders, and anxiety increases against their background.
- That's why designers advise combining it with other colors - white, black, beige and others.
In many cultures, the color red is associated with aggression, hostility, irritation, and anger.

It's all about the little things
By gradually placing bright accents in every corner of the bedroom, you can quickly achieve balance. In a neutral-colored room, any objects can be red, from baseboards to a cat's bed.
Items can be of different sizes; this move will be interesting when decorating.
Designers mainly create accents with ottomans, bookshelves, paintings, and storage baskets. If the room has a lot of light, then red curtains in the bedroom will be a great addition.
You can also use color in furniture: choose a completely red frame or add it in individual elements.
The main thing is that red should be the same shade in each accent. If you choose wine, everything should match, or maybe it’s raspberry or coral? We work on the same principle.
