THE POWER OF RED
* Intense red works well in a small space, drawing attention away from imperfect proportions.
* Using red will add vitality, making the room a destination place within the house.
* Red is not a restful colour, so avoid using it in bedrooms.
By painting a room red you add more than just colour to the walls. Colour interacts with light to create an atmosphere, so take into account what effect you're looking for before you choose a shade. This small dining nook was formerly used for storage. Red paint and lots of vibrant red cushions make the space feel more intimate. In this case, the dynamic colour not only imparts a European-bistro feel, but also draws the eye into a room that would otherwise be overlooked. As a backdrop, red also brings warmth to the crisp white trim and cream plates on display.
