It’s not without good reason that red is used for traffic stop signs! The color red is great for grabbing attention and can increase brain activity and your pulse rate! It is therefore a great color for spaces with high traffic and lots of activity.
Red is great for creating a party atmosphere or adding a sense of drama to the space. It is also the preferred color in many restaurants and shops. Red increases the appetite and adds sophistication to a space. Note, the color red is used for seat cushions, curtains and carpets in a theater. Red is also associated with passion and fire and can be used to stimulate and intensify emotion. If you need to spice up your love life, introduce a small amount of red in the bedroom and see what happens!
Warning! Use the color red sparingly in your decor! Red is such a powerful color that too much of it will overwhelm. You can feel moody and aggressive if you stay in a room that is intensely red for too long. To avoid this, use red as an accent color in a room rather than the dominate color in the space.
Red adds warmth to a dinghy corner and will make a room feel more cozy and intimate. It is therefore, a popular choice for dining rooms.
Add red to a room if you are feeling depressed, suffering from anemia, procrastination, or just need a stimulating uplifting boost of energy!
