Red bedroom: features and design secrets

When thinking about what color to accentuate in the bedroom, a person often chooses from calm, balanced shades. But the most daring 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 be a good brain stimulant. If scarlet is present in the interior of the kitchen, it whets the appetite.

Red is definitely a powerful color in terms of its effect on humans. But its psychological effect will completely depend on its own intensity. It has been established that its bright shades are capable of provoking an increase in the heartbeat in a person, they can even increase blood pressure.

And also the color is subconsciously associated with danger, but at the same time it is the color of action. When applied to the interior, this means caution and moderation with the use of 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, you need to give it up. But it is not so.A bedroom in red is a challenge, but a bedroom with red accents can be stylish and cozy, and not interfere with your rest. But there is a very thin line between the two concepts, which is dangerous to break.

Again, given that the red color stimulates active actions, increases appetite, fills with energy, it can be taken as a companion. For example, if we are talking about a bedroom for a person who has gone through a difficult life period, 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 you return to an active life, to vigorous 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 matrimonial bed, which means that it is appropriate to talk about passion, love, desire, which should be present in this room. With the energy of passion and excitement, red is definitely friendly. And this is used by people who know a lot about the energy of color, strength. Again, it is not necessary to make radical repairs in such colors: the color can be used in dosage, it will be like a seasoning in a dish - it seems to be not the main thing, but the taste is not the same without it.

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

• It is good if you know how to deal with the border of the color combination. You will understand what the facets of their contrast are. After all, it is the play of contrasts that is used in design with the presence of red. The combination of different variations of red shades does not work well here, it is contrasting solutions that are needed (for example, a red and white bedroom or a gray and red room).

• A red bedroom needs bright, distracting accessories. The fact is that without them, possible global flaws will be very noticeable (and red, alas, brings all the flaws of the repair to the fore). 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 about the style that will prevail in the bedroom. And make sure that red is appropriate for this style.

If you understand all the risks of using red in the bedroom, but do not intend to give up the color, think over 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 appears in it.

For example, suppose you have a dressing table in your bedroom: a small area reserved only for a woman, her intimate corner. Place a red velvet single-legged chair next to the table. This is not the most daring step, rather cautious, but very revealing. Evaluate whether you are easily accustomed to red in the bedroom, what feelings and moods this scarlet element evokes, whether you want to enhance the proportion of red in the interior. If so, the experiment can be expanded on a different scale.

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

But if not the ceiling and not all the walls, then what should be red - let's figure it out.

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

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

• Carpet. Most often a red carpet with a variegated or small monochrome print is suitable for a bedroom. It looks great in a bright, almost monochromatic 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 "an amateur". At first glance, it can impress, set up passionate nights, and so on. But falling asleep and getting enough sleep in a room with such a bed is hard.

The red interior already has enough emotions, passion, energy to be emphasized by the light. Therefore, he should not be in the leading roles in such a room. The light should flow softly, dissolve in the background color. Floor lamps and small bedside lamps do a great job of this. Hidden ceiling lighting is also possible, it creates a special comfort in the room.

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

The column “positive” definitely includes the ability of red to energize, inspire action, create a passionate atmosphere in the bedroom, and finally, shape 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 a little more than necessary) is able to depress, suppress and cause irritability;
• can constrain in actions - some believe that the color is excessively majestic for them, begin to clamp down and seek solitude;
• color sometimes leads to fatigue, insomnia and reminds of anxious thoughts, unfulfilled deeds.

The red bedroom in a radical solution is not just a challenge, it is also an exam 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 a similar interior, sleep deeply and be in tune with their emotional background. Most people need red, dosed, with accents and framing.
