Whether it be a completely decorated red bedroom or a living room with a bright red sofa, a touch of red to any modern interior design adds vibrancy, warmth and class. As red is often the color to grab attention, so it goes with interior designs.

The more subtle the other colors in the room, the brighter and more eye-catching the red becomes. Red is used as a symbol of courage and sacrifice. In China, red represents fire, in Japan its the color of traditional heroes, hence why the color is so popular with modern Asian bedroom designs.

Adding blues and whites to red interiors cools down the intensity of the red, like water dousing fire. Red kitchen furniture can be a great way to get a retro look. As red is often associated with passion and love, red always works well in the bedroom. In the bathroom red vanity units are a great way to add more color to the design. In living rooms red sofas and chairs look wonderful when placed with more subtle shades.

Here we showcase thirty different modern interior designs which make the most of red.
