Effect of wall paints in shades of red
The colour red stands for emotions. It is not for nothing that red is the colour of passion and love. But it is also the colour of anger and rage. The human eye is very sensitive to shades of red, which is why warning road signs, prohibition signs and traffic lights are red. In football, there is the "red card". The animal world also reacts to red. For example, some poisonous mushrooms are red to warn animals not to eat them. Ladybirds also use the red and black colour combination to make it clear: We don't taste.
Although red tones are very intense, they are definitely suitable for wall design. This is because the effect of red wall paint in a room depends entirely on the individual colour nuances.
The red colour scheme for the interior
A red wall can spread warmth in many rooms. A rich rusty red like the cosy Red with Sweden creates an atmosphere of comfort and cosiness. Colour shades that are bright red, such as Red with Flamingo or Red with Coral, are also accent colours that provide energy, but with their certain delicacy, spread a touch of joie de vivre in rooms.
Bright red accents for youth rooms
A classic colour combination in a teenager's room is an intense blue such as Blue with Jeans, a clear "Lego red" and fresh white. With the MissPompadour wall paints, the matching shade of red is Red with Cherry. These are the colours of the American flag, which are very popular with newcomers due to their signal effect.
If you paint an entire side of the room in red, you should paint a lot of white and blue on the other walls to soften the strong wall paints so that the eye can come to rest there .
An equally intense colour shade, but slightly lighter, is the intense Red with Chili. As a colour shade on the wall, it should be used sparingly and with great sensitivity. You can create a balance with accessories such as bed linen and blankets in neutral colours.
Dark red wall paint for interior design in the living room
In the MissPompadour colour scheme, there are colour shades in dark red and wine red. This includes the very dark red of the colour shades Red with Merlot. This dark red has the colour of a glass of dark Bordeaux wine. This dark red is particularly suitable for setting accents on a single wall. This wine red wall paint is a colour shade that shows an expression of inimitable eccentricity.
Its colour effect creates a sophisticated look and is of selected beauty. This dark wall paint is particularly suitable for a wall in the living room and furniture in black and shades of grey complement this colour shade particularly well. However, delicate pink tones such as the colour shade White with Powder or the reddish White with Marble also go well with this rich dark red and create a feel-good atmosphere in your home.
Elegance and emotion: delicate red colour shades in the bedroom
If your next project is a bedroom, choose delicate red tones and soft red variants. A bedroom project should always exude a sense of calm and security with its wall paints. It's a good idea not to paint an overly strong dark red as a wall paints, but a dark red also works well when choosing the furniture paints for a bed frame.
MissPompadour has a large selection of soft red wall paints. These include the fresh Red with Coral, the soft Red with Flamingo and Red with Raspberry, which looks particularly beautiful on the wall. All of these wall paints can beautify the walls in the bedroom.
Wall paint: order reds from the MissPompadour colour scheme
You can find great wall paints in dark red, light red and clear red tones in the MissPompadour Collection. The best way to compare the numerous red colours is to order a set of colour cards. The colour cards in postcard format can be removed individually and pinned to the wall. This allows you to compare the colours in any lighting. After all, red wall paints in particular need to be examined in every light.
All wall paints from MissPompadour are available in two qualities. On the one hand, there is The Valuable Wall Paint, an eco-paint with which you can paint velvety walls with incredible depth of colour. On the other hand, there is The Functional Wall Paint, which is particularly suitable for kitchens, corridors and bathrooms thanks to its impact resistance and washable surface.
