Colour Trend – Manor Red
Period style colour schemes are an ever popular choice for a wide variety of home interiors as they create a sophisticated and stylish ambiance within your chosen room. MANOR RED is a perfect colour choice for those that wish to create a warm and cosy feel within their home. This colour scheme is rich and luxurious and is sure to create a refined elegance in both modern and traditional interior spaces.
For a simple and sleek interior design then why not partner manor red with a crisp white or a monochrome colour palette that will create a bold and striking finish within your room. Add baroque patterned wallpaper for a regal inspired interior or a bold geometric patterned design for a more modern interior design. If you prefer a more countrified and colourful interior finish then you can team manor red with forest green, chocolate brown and cream for a rustic interior design that has a hint of rugged highland elegance. This look can be further accentuated with some tartan or hounds tooth wallpaper that will look great hung on a main feature wall or chimney breast area.
Red hues have long been a staple choice for fabrics and furnishings as they create a cosy and rich ambiance within your home. For a classic period feel then upholster a large chesterfield style sofa and armchair in a manor red velvet or satin fabric and co-ordinate with some large and heavy velvet curtains that can be secured with gold tasselled tie backs for added luxury. Rococo style cushions will add some glamour and sophistication to a red satin bedding set that can be given an added twist of refinement with a gold quilted throw. If you prefer a more modern interior design then upholster a retro style armchair in a manor red, black and white geometric fabric that can be co-ordinated with a bold patterned retro rug that will look great in a living room or bedroom interior.
Period colours are a great choice as they can be teamed with many different styles of furniture, depending on your chosen design. Traditional oak furniture will create a cosy and welcoming feel with a twist of country style charm or you can opt for dark mahogany furniture for a truly stately inspired home interior. For a light yet still cosy interior design then you can select some cream painted furniture items that will compliment the rich tones of the deep red back drop. If you prefer a more modern interior look then why not add some sleek and bright style to your room with some white high gloss furniture items. These will create a sense of space and light that is perfect for counteracting the deep and bold colour scheme and provide the illusion of space in smaller or more compact rooms.
