Create a rich and dramatic look for your home

Create a rich and dramatic look for your home

 
Red is a strong colour - use the wrong shade and the result can be hard to live with. A softer option, such as this rich raspberry red, creates a wonderfully warm, comforting space. Rich colours can be teamed with pale neutrals to keep the room feeling airy. For instance, paint a feature wall in red and keep the others in a soft stone colour for a stunning living room scheme. In a bedroom, paper all the walls in a simple red paper, adding pale bedlinen.

 
Good for: Dramatic bedrooms, formal dining rooms, elegant living rooms.
