Paint Color to go with Bright Red Furniture

RE: Paint Color to go with Bright Red Furniture By Theresa (Guest Post) I have red furniture and black dining room set. My house is open with no walls between rooms. What other color can go with this? Posted on 01/19/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Paint Color to go with Bright Red Furniture By (Guest Post) I also have a red couch and my living room/dining room is very open. I have pale blue walls with one wall in the dining room bright red and a chair rail wall paper border of a Parisian street scene. Yellow accents and hardwood floors. Very country french. Also have an old grape vine with a freestyle glass top coffee table. I love my reds and blues.

I also have a few other brown and black pieces in here. Does everyone still think creamy ivory? What a bout a light aqua blue? Would that work?

Hope this helps.

This combination does not look good. I am thinking about mocha carpet and walls. Does anyone have other suggestions for carpet and walls? I also have a 4 year old so I need a carpet/wall color that doesn't get dirty quick. Does anyone have pictures of their rooms with the red furniture?

I painted the walls a light mocha color, with one large wall opposite the furniture a red that is the same color as the furniture. It looks awesome.

We painted the walls a pale yellow, and bought yellow chairs that we placed red pillows on. The two colors work togetherr extremely well, if you choose the right shade. Be careful not to go too bright yellow. Posted on 07/17/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Paint Color to go with Bright Red Furniture By A. (Guest Post) I have red couches and did gold in my next room over thinking it would compliment- the first visitor thought of mcdonalds so I moved to a lighter yellow which looks great- I say white walls fun/colorful accents Posted on 03/13/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Paint Color to go with Bright Red Furniture By Teri (Guest Post) Greetings Denise! Funny you should mention red -- my living room sofa and loveseat are both deep red. I've opted for two tone walls -- medium brown and light brown -- with cream ceiling. My windows have dark wood blinds, floor is honey parquet. I've opted to make the fabric for my drapes -- vertical stripes incorporating 3 shades of "earthy" green, cream, red (just a touch), black (a touch), and a deep turquoise. I'll also use these fabrics (which are "satinesse" with a great sheen and were all purchased at Joann's for .99 to 1.99 per yard) throughout the room on a small round table and cushions for the seating. While I don't always follow it, one color guideline which is definitely helpful is the 60-30-10-- one color takes precedence (usually walls and ceiling) at 60%, the next at 30% (seating, floors?), then the third at 10% (accents). When choosing your colors, try using this as a guide, you can ALMOST not go wrong. And remember, a little black should always be incorporated -- picture frames, other small accents -- if black isn't in the 60-30-10. Good luck! :) Posted on 10/11/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Paint Color to go with Bright Red Furniture By christine (Guest Post) I have red couches and I did a really light grey on the walls with white trim. Black and white photos. A charcoal grey shag area rug and charcoal grey window treatment. Glass coffee table and few accessories. Red in a dominant color so keep it simple. My furniture is quit modern and the room is very contemporary. If that's not your taste I would go with something else. Yellow and red work well for traditional and country style rooms. What style are the couches? It can also depend on the type of red. Red and green are complimentary colors but it all depends on the shades of the two colors whether they will work well together or not. Hope this helps!

Black throw pillows on the red furniture, black lamp shades, black and white drapes. Black and white photos would be really cool frames in red and black frames and hung on the wall too. Good luck@ Posted on 09/30/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Paint Color to go with Bright Red Furniture By Olivia (Guest Post) I've seen olive green and gold as accents for red. I think any shade of green and gold/yellow are great with red furniture.

That way you can mix and match the cream walls with the red furniture with blue throw pillows and waste baskets and accessories....If you have too much of a powerful color like red, it OVER POWERS the room and the rest of the stuff. Hope this helps. Beverly (Arkansas) Posted on 09/29/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Paint Color to go with Bright Red Furniture By William (Guest Post) How about gold ? Posted on 09/29/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Paint Color to go with Bright Red Furniture By KLS8800 (Guest Post) Bright red as in almost orange, bright cherry red, brick red, maroon? Well, almost any colour could clash. I'd stick with someting like bone, taupe, tan, and if you are super brave, white. Hang art, pics on the wall to tone it down. Put pillows and throws on the furniture. Depending upon the size of the room, that bright of furniture can really make a room pop or shudder. Is there a way you can add some furniture that is neutral?
