Red color is one of the brightest and most memorable in the palette. It is associated with strength and energy. But they must be used carefully. The predominance of a powerful red in the interior, like a clot of energy, can negatively affect the psyche. Conversely, well-placed accents, such as red curtains on the windows in a neutral-colored living room, can bring an atmosphere of holiday mood and spiritual uplift.
What is red
Red color, its main shades and place in the palette. In Russian, in the old days, the word “red” meant the same thing as “beautiful”: a red girl, a red hut with pies, a red debt in payment.
Authentic red comes in many shades. It is worth adding a little ocher to it, as it immediately softens and turns from kumach into warm, calm terracotta. Dilute it with water and drop a little orange into it. We will get coral soaked in the southern sea sun. Add a little bit of purple to rich red, and it will turn into burgundy - the color of aged wine and a symbol of royalty. Another popular shade is raspberry, the color of summer, taste and good mood. Each of them carries its own energy and creates a characteristic, individual atmosphere in the interior.
A pure red (red) tone in interior design is used quite rarely, but with skillful handling (proportions, color combinations, background, accessories), the result is without exaggeration magnificent.
In the interior of different rooms
If you use red curtains ineptly, thoughtlessly, the interior will look pompous and aggressive. But if you approach their choice scrupulously, they will become perfect tool to create a comfortable environment. The main thing is to carefully select shades, color combinations and their dosage.
Bright red curtains in the nursery are appropriate when the room is divided into play and sleeping areas. They will help create a cheerful mood after sleep, set up for games and creative activities.
In the living room
In a spacious living room, red curtains are good in any design. 
Thick red drapes won't be overpowering if you dim and blur the reddish brilliance. 
Living room with red curtains poses positive attitude, conducive to communication. The living room is a place where the whole family gathers, where guests are invited, home celebrations take place. Red curtains in the interior of the living room create a festive mood, so they are always appropriate. In a spacious room, they are good in all interpretations. In the rooms small sizes have to be imaginative.
So that red curtains in the interior of a small living room do not put pressure on the psyche, designers advise:
- classic curtains or red roller blinds hang with light tulle - beige or snow-white;
- for tailoring long curtains use loose light fabrics: linen, silk, polyester, with their help a room with drawn curtains will look lighter and more spacious;
- preference is given to fabrics with a pattern, as they look lighter than plain ones.
In the bedroom
Red curtains, a pink bedspread and pillows - even in the absence of talking accessories, such an interior looks “oriental”. 
A bedroom with warm sandy beige walls and rich, red curtains matches the color principles of Feng Shui. 
If you are not a fan of feng shui, use red in the bedroom only on the curtains, and choose the rest of the details in calm pastel colors. Red curtains in the bedroom should be used with caution, especially for people who have trouble sleeping. However, according to Chinese philosophy, this sensual color has a beneficial effect on marital relationships. Therefore, in the Feng Shui bedroom, there is always a lot of red textiles. If you are not a fan of this teaching, when choosing red curtains for the bedroom, give preference to muted tones and patterned canvases.
In the kitchen
A little red for good appetite and a cheerful mood in the kitchen will not be superfluous. 
Red roll-on filters are a good accent addition to a white kitchen. 
For a small kitchen, it is better to choose curtains with motifs to match the headset, rather than completely red. Experts do not recommend using red curtains for the kitchen if there is a lot of bright red in it without them. A red dress on the windows will give vivacity in the morning, increase appetite and not tire, provided that the walls and furniture are kept in soothing shades. Conversely, its excess can cause aggression and cause unbalanced behavior. This nuance is especially important to consider for housewives who have to spend a lot of time in this room.
The most popular models of red curtains for the kitchen are:
- lifting models: red roller blinds and Roman curtains;
- classic curtains up to the window sill;
- curtains in the style of "cafe" with a lambrequin;
- light curtains made of red tulle, muslin, voile or organza.
In the bathroom and toilet
Red curtains can also be installed on the windows in the bathroom. This is one of the most interesting solutions, given that the interior of this room is filled not only and not so much with furniture, but with hygiene items and, as a rule, they white color. Earthenware and enamel with a glossy sheen will reflect washed out red hues, creating a smooth flow of primary colors into each other.
Do not forget about the bathroom curtains, which can be not only made of polyethylene, but also fabric, with water-repellent impregnation.
Well, if you just want to beautifully decorate the space near the bath, then you can use muslin, as, for example, in the photo below.
Color combinations
Since red is an energetic, sensual and strong-willed color, it should be used in the interior with single strokes. Red curtains in the setting should be an accent spot, and in order to fully reveal their attractiveness, you need to choose the right main color palette. To create a harmonious frame for them will help:
- white;
- beige;
- blue;
- grey;
- green;
- black.
White
On a white background, red loses its pressure, remaining light and festive. Interiors with red curtains, white walls and furniture are mistakenly considered boring by many. In fact, this is one of the most win-win combinations. And what is important, accents of other colors can only spoil the picture.
Beige
Against the background of beige walls, red curtains look cozy, and the whole atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Red textile against the background of beige walls will look calmer, as if illuminated from the inside by a soft golden light. At the same time, it will help to avoid some of the boredom inherent in a monochrome beige setting. There is also no need for other colors here, except for woody browns related to beige.
Blue
Blue walls "extinguish" the fire of red curtains and in general the interior looks cool and peaceful. This combination is rare due to the antagonism of blue (ice) and red (flame). Since these colors have different “temperatures”, few people decide to decorate their interior with them. But in vain. The red-blue environment is pleasant, cool when blue prevails and warm when red prevails.
Green
We constantly observe the duet of green and red in nature, which means that it will be harmonious in the interior. As in the case of blue, not the most popular, but interesting combination of colors, despite the apparent conflict. Green, along with red, we constantly observe in nature: fruits, vegetables, flowers. And, as you know, nature best designer. The method of temperature accentuation also operates here. In building warm interior red will be the leader, and green in creating cool.
Grey
The gray background is perfect for red curtains, as a "neutralizer", so this combination is also appropriate in the bedroom. Red curtains in the interior of the living room and bedroom look great against the gray walls. Monotonous and not too expressive by its nature, gray takes on some of the “kumach” energy. As a result, it is evenly distributed throughout the environment.
Pink
Combination different shades red is typical for oriental "Arab" interiors. Red goes well with all its shades, and pink is essentially the same red, but diluted with white. Interiors in such colors are often found in the East, and for the European mentality they seem unusual. Especially appropriate are pink textiles or walls and red curtains in the bedroom for a little girl or young girl. Having decided to create such a design, try to adopt not one shade of pink, but several.
Black
Red curtains in an interior with a predominance of black should be diluted with light accents, such as lamplight. For many, the combination of red and black seems too gloomy. These two mourning shades simply need to be balanced with something, for example, an abundance of chrome or glass accessories, light-colored wallpaper. The best decision- add more white colors to the red-black interior.
