How To Decorate Using Red and Pink

- Pink rooms are best when they are paired with red. Red is the primary color of pink and the two shades go hand in hand. Consider adding the color red in bright splashes seen in abstract art. Abstract art is easy to paint by yourself. Collect a number of ornate gold frames and glossy paint from online and do it yourself.

- Consider buying a few really nice prints that have the shade of pink or red color. If you have an oil portrait that you want to manipulate, consider taking it to a local artist to change the background.

- Velvets and silks contain the most saturated colors. Consider upholstering with both.

- Consider working with colors opposite of the color wheel. Shades of green, blue or yellow work wonderful combined with red.

- In this picture shades of red look with salmon are paired together.

-In this picture we see a striped dress in pink and black with accessories in beige and gold.

-Look how this image nicely coordinates darker tones of red with burnt orange. Instead of a playful appearance, we see more of a serious regal look.

-Consider spraying some of your furniture with a red or candy pink lacquer. This french chest looks grand in glossy red.

-This red sideboard looks terrific in red paint accented with brass hardware. The look is minimal yet very sophisticated.
