Here, Mylands colour experts offer interiors inspiration and ideas for decorating with the colour red.

Red evokes feelings of luxury, passion and regal interiors with its elegant touch and air of grandeur. Its use is age old in historic settings; take a cue from the past and use it as the backdrop to display a collection of art or collectibles.

Dining rooms and kitchens look fabulous in red, especially under the silvery tones of candlelight. Balance the drama of red with a soft neutral shade in complementary colours, fabrics, furnishings or accessories.

Red works wonderfully in a study or creative space, stimulating the senses and energising the mind. Use it as an accent or to enhance an architectural or decorative feature to create thoughtful zoned areas.
