Colors For the Small Room - Dark Red Adds Impacting Elegance to the Small Room
Red is a most impacting color for a small room.
Pure red would be too aggressive, but a darker shade, wine red, can add extreme elegance to even the smallest room.
It will make the room seem darker but, at the same time, make it appear warmer and give it a touch of glamor.
The neutrals that will be used in combination with wine red should be kept plain and simple, so that the small room does not appear cluttered.
A neutral beige and accents of black would be excellent as a combination with this exclusive shade of red.
It looks crisp and dominant in combination with white.
The warm and earthy quality of wine red will be increased when combined with honey shades of wood.
A question arises when using red for small rooms.
Is red too aggressive for a small room? When a little black is added to red, it quietens the color down.
This is particularly important for orange red, which in its full saturation, is an extremely agitating color.
Once black is mixed in with red, the color becomes more earthy, more peaceful; it is on its way to becoming brown.
Unlike brown, however, it still has the empowering characteristics of a pure red: it is far more dramatic and impacting.
Both wine red and rusty red add a touch of luxury to even the smallest space.
If it feels too overwhelming to use wine red as a color for all the walls, you can still achieve a dramatic impact, by painting only one wall in this hue, leaving the others in a cool beige or white, according to the chosen color scheme.
This alone will add tremendous impact to the room.
If the room is awkward in shape, red can help to change and improve this, either by adding dramatic accents and diverting the attention from ungainly space areas, or adding focus to the more attractive areas.
Light beige contrasts for the ceiling, doors and some of the linens, add softness to the strong wine red, and prevent the room from appearing too dark.
A plain, light colored wooden floor, or beige woolen rugs, elegant bed linen in beige, would all add a sparkling elegance to wine red.
Accessories in varnished glossy black will add a touch of elegant glamor and reflect beautifully the surrounding light.
A small room can look exceptional when a dramatic dark red is used as the dominant color.
In addition, by keeping the accessories and furniture very puristic in design, without overcrowding the space, the small room will have a very special captivating elegance.
This will certainly distract from the small size of the room.
It is amazing what color can do to give even the smallest room its own unique, aesthetic expression.
