Embracing Red: Infusing Life into Spaces
What excites me? Colour!
This week, a client's love for red really excited me. After some discussions, she's transforming her north-facing living room with Lick's red 06 – rich and saturated, like a fine red wine. Can't wait to see it unfold! I adore clients ready to embrace the bold and make it fabulous.
Did you know understated reds are trending in 2024?
Warm reds are subtly gaining prominence, toning down vibrant shades for earthy, clay-inspired colours. It’s a natural, grounded vibe reshaping the norm.
As an Interior Designer, I always need to stay on top of what is trending for clients who relish trends.
In colour psychology, red and orange are sociable.
Red grabs attention, while orange is the friendliest colour.
Both inject life into spaces, perfect as accents in furniture and soft furnishings.
Look at how much red we see in nature this time of year with burgundy leaves, aging hydrangeas, and winter berries. Personally, I've always had a soft spot for red – even have a vibrant red-toned headboard in my bedroom which I toned down with pale pinks and corals.
For those keen on experimenting with the colour of the season (and 2024), here are three ideas I would suggest for your interior:
Hallway Drama - Reds are great for hallways. Inject life into your hallway by exploring the spectrum of darker red colours. These colours offer a touch of opulence and richness, creating a welcoming feeling and a sense of drama.
Bathing in Reds - Transform your bathroom into a cosy retreat by incorporating subtle reds and terracotta. Whether through towels, bathmats, or accent tiles, use red to create a comforting and inviting atmosphere - amazing for north-facing spaces as they are super warming.
Furniture & Accessories - Explore incorporating red into your furniture or accessories for a chic yet understated touch. Imagine a red filing cabinet in an office or through cushions, rugs, or statement pieces, these additions introduce a flair to your space.
In the horizon of 2024, the abundance of red colours offers a canvas brimming with creative potential, from the subtlety of clay-inspired shades to the warmth of burgundy accents. It's an exciting prospect paving the way for innovative designs.
