From tomato through to berry shades, red is having a moment. The SS26 catwalks were awash with red tones, with names like Chanel and Dior showcasing the colour on everything from trousers through to skirts.
When it comes to interiors, red has the power to make large rooms feel more intimate and comfortable, and smaller rooms cosy. When used in dining rooms and kitchens, colour psychologists believe it can stimulate conversation and appetite, while deeper shades such as burgundy are ideal for adding an instant dash of elegance.
If the shade still feels too intense, however, bring it in through accessories such as cushions or throws or use it as an accent colour balanced with neutral tones. Stripes are a good example.
Adding an element of red to an otherwise neutral area will create an instant focal point. Try next.co.uk for similar red- striped seating.
