From the deepest ruby red to delicate dusky pink, this colour area can create very different moods depending on the tone you use.
Reds are often described as the most passionate, full of desire, rage and courage. Pinks can be soft and subtle, with demure and delicate qualities or shocking and vivacious when stronger tones are used.
Reds and pinks are often associated with being feminine with make up tones like lipstick reds and soft pink blushes through to bright princess pinks.
Red can be used to create a vibrant focal point. A very seductive colour which can create a feeling of luxury. Deep reds first came into interiors back in the Victorian era, as a statement of grandeur in dining rooms, libraries and picture galleries.
In the home, reds and pinks can be used in a variety of spaces from living and dining rooms through to bedrooms to create a warm, inviting space.
Reds have softened significantly, so even when strong and bright, they are more subtle and therefore easier to use.
This new palette is more refined, natural and offers a touch of understated luxury.
Neutral, skin and nude pink are an important new direction which adds a level of subtlety. Both warming and delicate, these pinks create a caring, nurturing mood.
Stronger pinks and reds enliven what is otherwise quite a muted palette compared to the trends over the last few years. These richer shades work particularly well with neutralised colours from other colour families.
The intensity of red makes it perfect for creating a feature wall particularly to enhance a chimney breast, alcove or bed head wall. Rich reds like Redcurrant Glory are contemporary especially when softened with a neutral like Natural Hessian.
Red can be used as a accent for a one off piece of furniture or within accessories that will bring your room to life. By adding that extra shot of colour particularly against a neutral sofa or wall, you will create a vibrant space with energy and drama.

Dusky pinks like Satin Bow not only create a sophisticated effect for adults rooms but are ideal for nurseries. Its chalky quality gives the room a nurturing feel, perfect for your little ones. Why not add a soft blue like Steel Symphony 4 to really enhance this muted pink. For darker rooms use paler colours with a hint of pink and blue by combining Blueberry White and Blossom White for a light, uplifting look.
