Bold Red And Blue Home Decor Ideas cover.
Red and blue are classic colors but they are seldom used in one color palette to design a space. Still, there’s nautical style and with current trends for maximalist decor, red and blue are totally welcome in one room. Here are some ideas to combine these colors with style!
Blue And Red Color Schemes
First of all, choose the shades and tones you are going to use, if we take nautical spaces, these are usually navy or light blue and classic red plus white. Modern and contemporary spaces can embrace electric blue and bold red, even red to orange for a starker contrast. Anyway, the tones you are going to use are up to you and the effect you want, the more difference between the tones, the better. Then decide on the other colors you are going to add, and here white or creamy is the most popular choice, especially for nautical and seaside spaces. Various shades of the same red and blue can be added to create a more complicated color scheme for a modern and edgy space. As for maximalist rooms, here you can rock almost everything you like, from emerald to yellow, just remember that to make such a space stylish, you will need some repitition in decor. Gold or brass fixtures will finish off the look and add elegance.
Blue And Red Living Rooms
A living room might show off light blue or navy walls, all of them or just a single accent wall. The cover is up to you: paint, wallpaper, paneling or whatever else inspires you. Incorporate red tones with furniture and textiles: sofas, chairs, rugs and curtains and add more blues to echoe with the walls, for example, some pillows or vases. One more idea is pulling off more blue of various tones and adding just some touches of red here and there as bold splashes of color.
PRO tip: Remember that bright or dark shades make a space look smaller, and if you already have a small room, you should choose the colors carefully or use some tricks to make it look bigger: several layers of light, large scale furniture, bookcases and curtains going up to the ceiling.

Blue And Red Bedrooms
Bedroom decor can also feature an accent wall or you may just go for light blue walls to make the space more relaxing. Add red shades with textiles like bedding, curtains and rugs, so they will be easy to change whenever you want.
PRO tip: Keep In mind that sleeping a very bold bedroom might cause anxiety and might make it more difficult to fall asleep, so I’d advise to be careful with the colors you are using and make the decor changeable in case something goes wrong.
