Hollywood Glamour In Black, White and Red
The Ultimate Bold and Light Colors Create Drama Together
Red, black and white is a classic color story reminiscent of old Hollywood, but with a contemporary twist. The key to this dramatic color combination is to balance the three colors using pattern and textures. Look for ways to implement one of the colors in a more unusual or subtle way. Done correctly, the marriage of these three colors creates immediate modern glamour.
Throw in a red piece of furniture for added drama. This dynamic and bold design is accomplished through the high-gloss diamond patterned floor partnered with the deep red sofa. It is a very eye-catching and striking combination.
Decorate with red through art and throw pillows. This sitting room is stunning with the sleek velvet black couch and white area rug. Red artwork and throw pillows bring in a glamorous touch. To offset the black floor, the walls are kept bright white. It is a modern, glamorous and balanced design.
Go for contrast. This striking bathroom and dressing room is accomplished by contrasting the deep red paint on the inside of the bathroom with the black paint on the outside dressing area. White trim, cabinetry and light floors balance the deep contrasting colors.
Bold use of red for pure drama. This very modern and sleek bathroom works by utilizing a graphic wallpaper in deep red and black from floor to ceiling. The cool and light tones of the marble balance out the strong red making for a clean and contemporary powder room.
Red is for romance. This dramatic bedroom is very eye-catching with the dramatic high-gloss lacquered bedframe and the off-white upholstered headboard and linens. A red-framed fireplace and red ornate mirror add some super sexy touches for an all-in-all sophisticated bedroom.
Red can be cozy. Reminiscent of the old movie theaters, this media room features huge red velvet cushions and pillows. Flat black paint along the ceiling and floors and vertical stripes on the front and back walls all work together to create a comfortable, but updated glamourous look.
Use red to tone down darker colors. This sexy dining room features black graphic wallpaper, a black floor and a black dining table and buffet. The bright red cowhide rug adds a much needed splash of color to the dark-themed room. The white lamps on the buffet, white painted ceiling and trim, and the crystal chandelier balance all the dark elements within the room.
Look at other shades of reds for a completely different look. This lovely dining room uses a muted shade of red in the painted wall treatment, adding to the inviting and understated Old-World feeling. The long table, high-backed dining chairs and Murano glass chandelier add the necessary glamour to this concrete room.
Try a new shade of red in an Old-World setting for a new look. Chrome squared contemporary chairs and hexagon shaped tile on the floor, paired with the cut-out molded ceiling, marry a modern and vintage style perfectly. The pinkish red tones in the floor and artwork add to the modern feel.
Balance is crucial. This living room combines elegance and contrast by utilizing wall paint in a matte black, which is offset by the black-and-white photography. A high-gloss Asian-inspired cabinet in a bright orange-red adds a nice infusion of color and pattern. The white chairs across from the black and white patterned sofa make everything work together.
