When it comes to home or bedroom décor, red cushions can be used to spice up nearly any room in the house. The color red is highly regarded by interior designers because it’s both bold and capable of drawing attention to an otherwise monotone theme. The color can also draw attention to a particular area, helping to create elements of interest. This is particularly true when used with other smaller accessories of the same color. Perhaps the best part about using red in the home is that there are many products available for indoor use.

In case you’re a bit unsure of how to use this bold color in your interior design scheme, here are 3 suggestions that can add strong visual appeal -

1.    In a living room with chairs or sofas of more neutral colors such as tans and browns, a red cushion or two can make the space look more inviting. Similarly, when used with darker colored furniture, pairing this color with some pillows in beige or white will really spice up the decor.

2.    Patio furniture used outdoors typically comes with its own seat padding. However, weather and time can destroy the fabric or simply fade it to an undesirable shade. If you want to make the patio or deck look a bit more sunny and festive, a red cushion paired with an umbrella in the same color will be more welcoming than simply using an all natural theme. There are products for wicker furniture, patio chairs and chaise loungers. You can find suitable products in solid colors as well as Hawaiian prints, if you enjoy something a bit more fun in the decor.

3.    Red is extremely versatile and works well with other bright hues, earth tones and darker shades of blue, gray and green. The color is suitable for spring, summer and fall decor.

Prices for products used indoors with living room furniture can range from $10 to $40, depending on fabric and size. For the outdoors, single pieces can range from $20 to $50. The color red also comes in many different shades for those instances where something a bit less dramatic is desired.
