Stuck for inspiration? Don't be - get free decorating ideas for a stunning modern interior design scheme using red and black.

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...

room decorating ideas for a red and black oriental room



It has retro 1980's overtones, so is very much on trend right now, with the revival of all things '80's.

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...

room decorating ideas for a red and black kitchen



  • 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'!


  • room decorating ideas - modern and quirky using red and black color scheme



  • 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...


  • room decorating ideas for a modern lounge, using red black and white



  • 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


room decorating ideas traditional look with red and black



  • For smaller rooms, get the same effect, but without using black, by using deep charcoal greys instead - these give a similar feel but with more sophistication and with a much lighter and more accessible atmosphere, that seems much less overpowering.
  • Also think about adding an accent color, which will really lift your scheme. This only has to be a small amount, as your scheme has a lot of impact already...

    This tiny splash of zingy lime green is the perfect finishing touch to this modern interior design room decorating ideas.
