Find out how to get your own wow factor...

If you are looking for modern interior design and a very striking and even quirky look, think about these room decorating ideas in red and black.

Red and black is a very strong color combination, and will definitely make a dramatic impact in your home...

The modern way to do it though, is quite different from a pure 1980's trend, with much more color and impact - although you may well be able to bring treasured 80's-styled items out of store.

There's no half measures in this style - go for deep and rich blocks of color, for maximum impact...

This is a strong, striking style but may need some adjustment to be used successfully in every home...

It can be modern, traditional, sophisticated, dramatic, fun, funky, quirky, stylish... whatever you want...

• Black and red are both very intense, strong colors, more often used as an accent than as a base color for your design.

  This does mean that they can end up overpowering your home and your design, if you don't treat them carefully...

• Small or dark rooms should take particular care, as these colors will definitely make your room feel darker and smaller.
• If you like a fresh, open, airy feel to your room, you should definitely avoid this look too.
• Red is a good color for sex, socialising and for stimulating the appetite... but it can also feel aggressive, restless and overpowering - so do take care...
• Black too is very dramatic, glamorous, mysterious and sophisticated... but this too can be overpowering and even depressing...
• Inspite of these obvious precautions, if these colors work for you and your home, you can really achieve some very stunning results, with great impact and 'wow'!









• Red and black can be used in a variety of combinations together to achieve the look you want.... it is often easier and more effective though to add a little white into the mix...

  White really lifts the color scheme, gives it life, and makes it much more accessible to use as a practical decorating color scheme in your own home...

• Use a little white for dark, glamorous and rich schemes, but add plenty of white (as a base color) with red and black as accents to allow you to use this color scheme in any room, in any home, without being too overpowering...









• Using white as the main color, and red and black only as accents can give a bright, light and modern interior design feel to your room decorating ideas.
• These colors can be used in many different styles including:
  • modern and contemporary looks
  • a more traditional feel
  • oriental inspired styles
