Add A Touch Of Magic To Your Home – Re-Ignite The Passion

Passion is brought to you by the colour red and any number of its sumptuous shades from ruby reds to dusky pinks. We have taken a look before at how colours can create certain moods and atmospheres throughout the home and red was always the dominant colour for passionate bedrooms and stunning living areas. Desires will easily be met when you start to paint the home red and a touch of magic will show through in either the softer and subtler shades or the more shocking and vibrant ones.

The full effect of this colour can be used to create focal points, turn budget rooms into luxury, knock the socks off from your guests and add warmth to the coolest of spots – red will add a touch of magic to your home.

Re-Ignite The Passion In Your Bedroom:

Using red in the bedroom can dramatically change its appearance and provide you with a warm and passionate space. You don’t need even need to use much of this colour to get the desired look, just adding it in as an accent colour can make all the difference. Try some of the following design ideas to get you started:

• Having red furniture in the bedroom may have been your last option, but the good thing about red furniture is the possibility of moving it to another room should you fancy a different look later down the line. Choose a red set of drawers and place it against a neutral wall for optimum ‘wow’ factor.

• Red can be a challenging for those who usually shy from bold colours. If you want to sample red without letting it be overpowering, choose white or neutral bedding with some red detailing and pick it up with a simple wall hanging with a red frame.

• Don’t concern yourself with using red in a smaller bedroom. Eliminate the problem of closing in space by purchasing a wardrobe unit in this season’s hottest trend – high gloss red.

• Red bedroom curtains are an ideal way to bring the colour in without re-designing the whole bedroom. They will draw attention to a beautiful window and give more drama to a neutral room.

Re-Ignite The Passion In Your Living Room:

Where red can be passionate in the bedroom, it can add warmth and comfort to your lounge. Try some of our suggestions to get it right first time around:

• A bold red sofa will be visually stunning, but all the more so if you let it dominate over a cooler tone of pale green on walls or floor coverings.

• Kill two birds with one stone – achieve a dramatic red colour and the latest floral print trends with the addition of patterned curtains, cushions or slip covers in red and white or cream.
