BOLD, CONFIDENT RED
here is no other colour as eye-catching as red. The colour of passion and confidence, it injects a dose of excitement into your space. It is the perfect). While tone-on-tone red shades at Versace’s showcase might only work in galleries and commercial settings, a toned-down version can work wonders to add life into your living space. Start by choosing the temperature of your shade of red – does your space lean more towards cool-toned red or warm-toned red? Think about it like choosing a lipstick or blusher to complete your make-up. Like Versace Home’s living room here, you can also mix up several shades of red, just make sure the colour temperatures aren’t too jarring between them. Pair these reds with black and white for a stark contrast. In non-monochromatic settings, it is best to have one designated area for the largest red design elements, and add smaller pops of red elsewhere via small accessories like cushions, picture frames, vessels, and so on. Red also makes for a delightful surprise discovery, like the soles on a pair of Louboutin heels. Try painting the interior of your cabinets with solid red, and hear your guests gasp as you open them to reveal the bold contents. Be confident, this red says, fortune favours the bold.
