Red really ramps up a living room decor scheme. Even a simple neutral backdrop can come alive with the introduction of red couches and a coordinated red table lamp, or a pair of red window drapes and a matching rug. Red adds a lot of visual heat, so is a particularly great option to those wanting to transform a cold looking room. This extensive gallery of 51 red living rooms is packed with inspiration on red wall colours, red living room furniture, and unique ways in which to introduce a plethora of red living room accessories that will help to balance out the scheme just right.

Create colour layers. The dark ceiling of this red and black living room evokes a cocoon-like feeling of safety, whilst everything below half height in the room radiates with the same red vibrancy. Red sofas, a red area rug, a red coffee table, and even a low slung red pendant light pull together in daring colour saturation.

Flower power and fun. This lively room scheme employs red sofas to turn up the visual heat of a plain white painted room, whilst a rainbow rug ramps up the cheer. A daisy shaped ottoman fills the room with flower power, along with petal motif side tables.

Colourful and cubist. A sharp and simplified red sofa design makes an ideal champion for the cubist decor aesthetic. Cut a feature wall into sections that can be filled with complementary accent colour, like gold, and introduce a linear modern chandelier.

Retrofit the red vibe. If you’re already decorated with neutrals but long for something more lively, fear not. Easy additions like a red feature cushion, some red wall art, and a red floral arrangement can work wonders. If budget allows, spring for an adventurous red accent chair too, it will make the colour infusions appear more permanent and intentional.

In this case, double chairs create double the impact.

Here, red cushions and art align to make one more retrofit compatible solution.

Deliciously pomegranate. Red lovers looking for something on the sophisticated side will adore this rich pomegranate shade. Team with a solid stone coffee table to get the luxe look.

Step it up. Create an island for your most colourful room elements by building a platform, then wrap it with more bright flamboyance. In this room, a raw industrial backdrop creates an interesting juxtaposition for the colour crisp elements.

Slice and splice. Use contrasting wall panels and curtains to build sections of colour around the room.

Seeing triple. Not one, but three red couches round out this large living room, with a simple red runner completing a full circuit of colour on the fourth side.

Rosy and cosy. A patchwork red carpet pulls up by the modern fireplace of this home, creating a colour bridge of heat and cosiness.

Lift it with light. A ceiling stripe of red LEDs really elevates this black, white, and red living room scheme. There is also a shape theme twinned with the red elements of this room, evident in a circular feature wall treatment, round area rug, and pendant light discs.

If you are only going to do one thing to bring red into a room, a feature wall brings the biggest impact…

… Consider teasing the colour thread out a little further, with just a couple of painted panels on an adjacent wall.

A red and brown meld makes a smooth partnership. This scheme picks up the tempo with some beats of primary yellow.

There are red chairs, and then there is THIS red lounge chair. If you’re going for a hero piece then go extra special.

Textured panelling and molding bring extra oomph to a red feature wall.

Another take on the panel molding aesthetic.

A cool grey stone effect carpet contrasts beautifully with the heat of a vibrant red painted wall and matching couch.

Work your angles. Different shades of red have been used to create this angular optical illusion on the TV wall, which gives the space added dimension.

Add a blast of blue. Red is a stong colour, but that doesn’t mean that you have to keep the rest of the room palette weak. Try adding other bold colours into the mix, like a solid cobalt blue or golden yellow–or both!

Look at Mondrian inspired interior design for colour combo insight. Note how the scheme is kept fresh with plenty of white space and sharp black linework. Max out the theme in a concept like this by choosing pendant lighting and area rugs to match.

Black linework and white space can translate into a much softer scheme too, like this half height border with black dado rail. A red persian rug expands the colour saturation across the lower half of the room. A contrasting sofa pulls out blue highlights in the carpet.

Lay out a warm welcome with red carpet. Red carpeting creates a warm base for an open and airy room. Red candles draw the warmth up to eye level when seated.

Gold standard home accessories. This round coffee table and its matching side table introduce glorious golden elements into an orange-red room. The lustre reflects the fire tones, and suggests luxury and expense.

Beautify walls with burgundy red panel molding. Even modern spaces benefit from the traditional practice of panel molding, and rich colour only amplifies the elegant effect. Be sure to place a stylish lamp nearby to light up the finished feature.

Ketchup and mustard. They work great on a hotdog and they work in decor too! Don’t be put off by the analogy, the right combination of delicious saucy red and a stripe of earthy mustard will look far more sophisticated than your local fast food joint.

Assemble a mediterannean vibe. The floral wallpaper in this red and turquoise living room is reminiscent of medditerannean tile, and even lace. The contrasting turquoise elements bring in a fresh breeze, as if from the ocean. Yellow pieces let in the sun.

Gotta love an ottoman. This tufted ottoman coffee table acts as the perfect springboard for the rest of the red elements in the room. A sea of red pattern waves around it’s base, and red wall art echoes its square outline.

A red room within a room. Designed by architect Eero Saarinen for the industrialist J. Irwin Miller, this home was the beginning of the original conversation pit trend that looks set to make a modern comeback.

A smaller take on a red conversation pit, though this time with the inclusion of a stunning ceiling mount fireplace in a double height void. Black and white pillows create a layered look on the red seating.

See the world through red rose tinted glasses. Glass wall bedrooms, kitchens and even bathrooms are all the rage in interiors right now, but how about using the glass as a vessel to carry your accent colour? Transparency is maintained to leave spaces feeling larger, but the tint promotes a cosier atmosphere when closed.

Gorgeously gothic. Solid black paint walls highlighted with gilded elements and blood red couches build devilishly good looks.

Balance out equal measures and tone. The red and teal parts of this living room each cover a similar square footage, whether that be on the floor or across the walls. Each colour is a soft muted shade, with neither one overpowering the other.

Use colour to define zones in an open plan arrangement.

This red and grey interior has a rotating red ellipse mirror to define the lounge from the entryway.

What to do when vibrant red sunsets fade away? Position red couches around your panorama in honour of natures paint palette.

Hop between opposite sides of the colour wheel, like this contrasting red and green interior. Indoor plants complete and freshen the look.

This revitalising space amps up the indoor plant and red decor combo. Natural stone, rattan and wood enrich the scene.

Crackle texture elevates this dark red feature wall, making it a stunning gallery space for abstract art.

This piece of red art becomes a feature wall in itself. Raw concrete makes a cool companion.

Make red the cohesion between interlinked living spaces.

In this home, statement red dining chairs echo the red abstract wall art in an adjacent lounge.

As if this chunky red tufted sofa isn’t glorious enough, this living room features a lush grass green rug to bind it with its wonderful garden view.

Read it, read it, red it. Take a regular bookcase and transform the stacks with bright red inserts.

All wired up. No need to conceal that wire with electrical trunking, go louder with bright red cables and creative pinning.

Life is peachy. Red and peach might not be the first colour combination that springs to mind, but the merge is something sweet.

Getting hot with houndstooth. Monochrome houndstooth and hot red accents are simply made for one another.

Top off your eclectic kingdom with a joyous red crown–oh, and a disco ball.

Have hope, be strong, laugh loud, and have a great big red typography wall.

Complement a bold red couch with a statement lamp, like this amazing Oda style lamp. Originals are available here.

20 Ways to Decorate With Red in the Living Room, From a Pro

Dazey Den

Red is an inherently bold color to design a room around. Because anything that powerful, striking, and vibrant demands effort, you can’t just throw together a few cute pieces and trust that everything will work out. Red is loud. It’s eye-catching. And when used inattentively, it can easily overpower a space. But give red the care and consideration it deserves, and you could end up with a space that’s not just pretty but downright stunning. 

When you choose to decorate with the color red, you’re giving up the possibility of curating a mediocre space, or even a good one. Your options are more polar than that. Succeed and achieve absolute greatness. Fail and earn only disappointment. Given these odds, many people relegate red to out-of-sight, out-of-mind spaces, like the bathroom or laundry room. Only some choose to embrace the challenge and make red the focal point of the living room, the veritable centerpiece of any home.

For a few pointers on taking on the color red and winning, we turned to designer and color expert Iman Stewart. "Red is great for making a statement," she says. And she's a firm believer in the power of color. "It's an instant mood booster, to be honest. It will literally change your mood right away."

Given all this, curating a red living room may seem like a daunting prospect. But as the below collection of lovely red living rooms demonstrates, there are plenty of ways to do it right. Keep scrolling for inspiration and tips to harness the power of red.

Red rugs may abound, but red couches are decidedly rare. It takes guts to make the centerpiece of your living room a bold red sectional. But opt for a darker, earthier shade in luxurious velvet, and you may be surprised by how easily it integrates with your aesthetic. We're floored with how upscale it looks paired with neutral (but textural) pieces in this timeless living room.

It's also important to consider your lifestyle. "For a living room where you’re trying to wind down and watch a movie, I don’t think you want your red to be that bold statement," says Stewart. "You want it to be something that flows with the space.” Incorporate red in small doses and calming hues to maintain a more relaxed vibe.

Casa Watkins Living

Many of us use artwork to echo colors that are already present in a space. But there’s no reason we have to. Why not, instead, allow art to inject a new tone into your palette—say, a vibrant shade of red? We're big fans of this pair of framed prints that introduce not one but two vibrant colors into this living room. And it all just works.

A printed red piece may sound overwhelmingly vivid. But adding visual texture to a red pillow or painting actually tempers the shade, making it easier to decorate with and more soothing to the eye. Don’t be afraid to stock up on patterned red pieces, and don’t shy away from mixing and matching them, either. In this living room, a vibrant art print in a range of reds ties back into a single red throw pillow, effectively uniting the room.

Red has been gracing interiors for a long time, transforming with every style to fit the mold. A perfect example is the red shag carpeting popular in the '60s and '70s—you know, the kind your grandparents probably still have. And the good news is that retro never goes out of style, so pull that vintage rug out of storage or scour your local secondhand shops to find the right rug to transform your space into a nostalgic haven.

Katie LeClercq

Don’t be afraid to design a room around a single piece, especially if it’s a particularly stunning red one. Sometimes you just can't help who—or, in this case, what—you fall in love with. So go ahead, put a top-to-bottom tufted burgundy couch in the middle of the room. You'll have an easy conversation piece and a starting point to build the rest of the room off of.

Studio Peake

Use details to make your palette feel cohesive. Start with a bold red piece, like a sofa or rug, then offer echoes of the shade around the room. Books, works of art, lampshades, and even your cocktail supplies can all bring a room together.

"Make red a part of the space," Stewart suggests. "[Include] it in patterns, in prints, in fabrics, in throw pillows—that type of thing. " In short, commit. Don't relegate it to being an afterthought.

Opting for red carpet or furniture may sound intimidating to you. If that's the case, try out some high-impact red curtains instead—much smaller investment pieces that are easier to switch out on a whim. Accent them with darker décor to add weight to the space or lighter tones to open things up. Either way, you’re in for a seriously statement-making room.

In any décor scheme, there are obvious accent pieces—things like pillows, paintings, and trinkets. These smaller items are straightforward candidates for color. But putting color in more counterintuitive spaces, like on your floor or along a fireplace, can be just as striking. Case in point, this totally bold and unique living room with a minty green and pinkish red-tiled fireplace has us reconsidering everything we thought we knew about fireplace design.

You can have a red living room without making red the only color in the space. Opting for a two-tone color palette can leave the room feeling balanced but veritably bold. "If you incorporate more colors, it will become more of an eclectic design," Stewart agrees. In other words, it's a more approachable way to take on red in your interiors.

This avant-garde living room reinforces that palette through possibly the coolest artwork we've come across.

A pop of red doesn’t have to be bright or vibrant. Darker shades of red, like burgundies and wines, can ground a space, leaving a room feeling homier or cozier than it would otherwise.

Take notes from this sunny indoor-outdoor living room—rich wood furniture and bamboo blinds tie into a deep red Persian rug, which in turn defines and grounds the airy space and adds a much-needed element of coziness.

12 of 20

Arbor & Co.

Red lends itself almost surprisingly well to earthier, more natural palettes, too, like those featuring rich browns and dark charcoals. If you’re craving a little color while cultivating a grounded aesthetic, consider adding a couple of rust-colored printed pillows or blankets to the mix.

This works especially well for a Southwestern aesthetic, much like in this cozy living room, thanks to an array of nature-inspired colors used throughout.

Maite Granda

Red doesn’t have to account for a majority of your decor to be prominent in your space. By opting for a monochromatic interior, plus an array of accent pieces, you can curate color without cultivating an overwhelming feel. And if you do want red to be the statement-maker, simply feature it a bit more heavily than your other accent shades. You can use this sleek, beachy living room as a model—we're obsessed with those sculptural red lamps, too.

Remember that your accent pieces don’t have to match your statement-makers exactly. Pulling from the same color family can make a room feel thoughtfully assembled without feeling too matchy-matchy.

See here: The designer of this living room expertly layered in several shades of red, from burgundy pillows to saddle leather to a touch of pink coral. The addition of wood and brass pieces that pull from the same warm undertones further unites the space.

As you've seen, a striking color combination can be the difference between an exciting interior and an obvious one. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box with your red palette pairings—especially since your starting point is so vivid.

This living room is an all-out color explosion, fearlessly marrying reds, pinks, greens, and golds for a look that is part retro, part modern, and entirely chic.

No matter what you've heard, a palette doesn’t have to be warm or cool to be successful. Instead, try achieving some blend of the two, balancing bolder pieces with softer ones.

In the case of this room, balancing a very bold warm rug with an equally bold cool-toned ceiling is a surprisingly eye-pleasing contrast. The neutral fireplace in between helps to quite literally bridge the two.

Consider this your friendly reminder that fire-engine red isn’t the only color on the menu. Washed-out shades can create a space that’s just as bold and striking, especially when paired with a few vibrant pieces like artwork and pillows.

In fact, this lounge is a masterclass in how to achieve the monochromatic look in shades of red without over- or under-doing it. We're just tickled pink with the results.

Tyler Karu Design + Interiors

When many of us hear the phrase “red living room,” we imagine a too-vibrant or too-dark space. But, as we're on a mission to prove, red can be a relatively bright and lightweight addition to a room—especially when it’s rendered in prints with lighter shades, like white and beige. One look at this eclectic cottage living space proves that it's all about striking the right balance.

Jersey Ice Cream Company

These days, many people are inclined to keep their interiors as bright, open, and airy as possible. But those of us seeking coziness and character may find solace in darker, richer shades and luxurious textiles.

Red is right at home in this elegantly rustic aesthetic, whether it comes in the form of a grounding rug, accent artwork, or rich red-hued woodwork. All this room is missing is a lit fire and a furry pet to snuggle up with.

The most daring way to do a red living room? Dedicate an entire wall to the shade. "If you’re going to do red in the living room, incorporate it in a wallpaper with texture so you can tie it in on other levels," advises Stewart.

This room breaks all the rules, and we are absolutely here for it. By opting for graphic prints, sleek lines, and modern artwork, you can keep the space feeling crisp, rather than overwhelming.  And if you're feeling extra bold, feel free to throw in a red couch, just for fun.
