The Mean Reds
Traditionally associated with fire, heat, power, and even sometimes aggression, the wrong shade or color of red can indeed overpower. The very antithesis of a neutral, red immediately draws attention to itself. Red is not for the faint of heart.
Done right, red can add energy to a room, a positive vibe, and a vibrant atmosphere--whether belting out loud sounds of color, or whispering from small details around the space. The key to red done right is to keep in mind proportion and balance. Even when going for a bold statement by painting every wall in a room (glorious second photo hue) red must be balanced by relative calm.
This ideabook showcases how this color brings life to these already beautiful rooms. Red, yes sometimes thought of as too intense to incorporate on a larger scale, gets a second (vibrant) look here.

Red, directly opposite on the color spectrum of blue, creates depth and balance to light blue. This is classic.
