Using red for interiors is a bold move. It’s a bright, warm color that can create a sophisticated look in your home and is definitely guaranteed to make a statement. However, if not applied well, red can be offsetting.
Neutral hues have long dominated the interior design market, but with the rise of modern and contemporary styles, bolder colors are increasingly being used. Bolder hues are versatile and can be applied in different design styles, from maximalist to dopamine décor.
Vibrant colors such as red not only dramatize a space but also invigorate it with energy. Since red is often polarizing, it’s important to use it strategically to evoke the right mood. Here are some crimson paint colors from Benjamin Moore that you can try.
