Bold blue decor and vivid red accents form this unique home interior, which looks like a piece of living art. The highly contrasting elements form sharp, graphic shapes that are deliberate and concise. Heavy black elements give the scheme weight, while clean white backgrounds create space in which the pieces can breathe and dazzle. Visualized by Galina Lavrishcheva, the home design is intended to evoke strong feelings and offer a unique experience.

In these two small home designs, muted red and green accents are used to break up compact spaces and to help create zoning. High-contrast red accessories create a visual heat, which is complemented by areas of natural wood tone. Soft green hues and indoor plants make a fresh and uplifting contribution. In home number one, red accents define a small dining area and a neighboring kitchen. In the bedroom, a red duvet set separates the sleep space from a green home workspace. In home design number two, we’ll see how muted red moments call attention to a living room media wall, a small dining table, and a welcoming front entryway.
Inside the small living room of our first featured home, a red pendant light calls attention to the dining area that hides behind the couch. Red wall cabinets draw the eye around the corner to the kitchen.
A living room rug lays down a solitary splash of blue, which makes the sitting area stand out from the crowd.
A round coffee table makes the most sense in a particularly compact furniture layout because there are no sharp corners to bump into. A small, lightweight table is also easy to move. It can be quickly repositioned to where it’s needed or where causes the least hindrance to the occasion.
Opposite the sofa, a media console draws a bold red line across the plain white TV wall. A short glass vase with a botanical spray adds a pleasant natural element to the modern unit.
Behind the couch, a round dining table is smoothly encircled by four curved-backed dining chairs.
The small dining area is physically separated from the adjacent kitchen by a short peninsula. The peninsula measures only one unit long but provides essential extra storage space for pots and pans.
The kitchen peninsula also doubles as a neat breakfast bar. Two kitchen bar stools slot tidily under the waterfall countertop.
In the bedroom, a gray upholstered bed is colorfully dressed with a muted red bed set. A black bedside table lamp makes a slender silhouette on the wooden bedside unit.
Mirrored wardrobes reflect natural light from the window opposite.
A large indoor plant makes lush green contrast with the red bed set. A stylish bedroom pendant light drops low to provide reading light by the pillows. See more ideas for bedroom pendant lights.

Taupe curtains hang a neutral frame around the bedroom window.

In this 68-square-meter apartment, a small dining table is boldly defined under an eye-catching red finish. Black dining chairs darkly encircle the colorful moment, whilst green decor makes a fresh botanical backdrop.
In the lounge area, a linear red media unit is contradicted by a dark gray small sofa and a gray living room rug.
An assortment of houndstooth print and plain red scatter cushions accessorize the sofa. A small side table is moved around the room where needed.

A simple glass vase filled with greenery makes the dining table centerpiece.
Green paintwork frames a striking black and wood kitchen installation.
The hallway is lined with olive green decor. Oak flooring lays down a natural base.
In the home entryway, bespoke storage units stow away coats, shoes, and bags. A small nook contains coat hooks for guests and a built-in entryway bench.
More cabinets bridge the entryway bench, providing additional storage for seldom-accessed seasonal items. A much larger closet and cabinet set is concealed within the green color-blocked hallway.
The walls around the front door are treated to a warm and welcoming red colorway. A custom-cut floor-length mirror reflects light into the small space and gives the homeowners a place to check their appearance on the way out.
A green focal wall drops cool contrast behind the bed.
A black and gray bedroom rug lays down a tight geometric pattern. Frosted glass closet doors reflect natural light.

Red is a bold and commanding colorway for any piece of furniture but particularly for the largest piece in the living room: the couch. In this gallery of 40 inspirational modern home interiors, we take a look at how to decorate living room with red couch. We’ll discover how to create balance with such a vibrant element and ways in which to complement the aesthetic. This collection of living room designs illustrates striking decor schemes that build dark drama around a red sofa, light lounge areas with uplifting impact, red-infused rustic interiors, boho-style sitting rooms, and contemporary minimalist layouts with colorful wow factor.
Fashion a color-blocked landing spot. Situate a red sectional sofa around the edges of a red living room rug in a cozy conversational arrangement. Finish the ensemble with a red coffee table at the center of the space to create one solid color block.
Elevate your statement sofa with color-matched wall art. This approach is particularly effective with oversized pieces of art in a high-ceilinged home.
Make it fun. Instead of neutralizing the vibrancy of your statement sofa, layer on even more color with rainbow scatter cushions and an equally fun living room rug.
A red couch is a perfect choice for rooms with a lush landscape view. The red colorway provides rich contrast with a green panorama.
Dilute your bright red accent into a soft pink feature wall. Taking inspiration from the red sofa design in this living room, a diluted pink gallery wall has been fashioned. A large area rug ties in with the punchy black and white prints.
Choose a boxy modular sofa to create an abstract living room design. Add stark black accent pieces to outline and anchor the scheme, and a splash of metallic gold for a luxurious final touch.
Elevate a red couch upon a platform floor to fashion a floating island of color. This example creates an explosion of color within a raw industrial setting.
Complement a red couch with a feature wall of color-matched pattern. Add green botanical contrast to conjure boho vibes.
Follow the leader. Let your red sofa lead the decor palette as the strongest piece in a predominantly white room. The living room rug and wall art should contain fine details in the same hue whilst keeping the impact light.
Wine red sofas offer a rich infusion of color that is easily balanced by muted blush tones and warm beige backdrops.
Another wine red couch living room, this time surrounded by champagne gold accents for a flash of luxe.
Balance out your red sofa with an equally colorful counterpart, like this red curved sofa and yellow tufted couch pairing.
In this red curved sofa living space, a gray counterpart creates a dark mirror image across a round rug.
All-in color zoning. The sofa, rug, artwork, and wall color all pool together to make a riot of red that zones this living room area from an equally color-blocked yellow bedroom space.
Add nuggets of complementary color. These recessed shelving nooks offer a fun opportunity for painting splashes of matching red paintwork around a statement sofa.
Use red couches to shape a warm border. Large living rooms will benefit from the cozy color-banding of three matching red sofas arranged in a U-shaped layout. In this living room, a neat runner and red decorative vases are utilized to complete a full circuit.
Pattern a red couch living room with pulses of matching color.
Roll with red retro vibes.
In this red couch boho living room, mixed tapestries create a rich density of pattern.
Let the red decor theme flow from a red couch in tonal variations, like this beautiful patchwork rug design.
Use a red couch to place interest at the end of a long narrow space.
A muted red couch makes a grounding element for a busy eclectic living room.
Set up special moments around your red couch in a matching color tone. In this home, a patterned red backsplash and feature shelving make a small kitchen pop.
Write your own color story. A dual-color sectional sofa arrangement gives you the opportunity to get creative with your living space. Use colorful shelf inserts to complement the look.
Neutralize a large red couch or a line of multiple red sofas with a counterbalancing gray or beige counterpart. Tie the two together by placing a simple red throw or accent cushion on the neutral seating.
Add a rush of rainbow stripes. A vertically striped wall behind this low, red tufted sofa design helps draw the eye up.
Muted red and green sofas make a mellow mix.
Choose red electrical wiring for a statement lighting piece to draw the couch color outwards.
Raw concrete makes a cooling base for a bespoke red couch design, as illustrated in this aesthetic living room.
Add bonus black elements to give your red living room scheme visual weight.
Wall paint with a whisper of gray provides a subtly shaded base for bright accent furniture.
Even a small sofa makes a big impact under a dark red hue. Pool the color underneath with a matching round rug.
A black living room receives a burst of energy from a modern red sofa design.
Another black and red living room design, this time with a classic Chesterfield sofa design.
Build layers of warmth with red accents behind the living room sofa.
Solid red upholstery helps anchor a central seating spot.
Create a cozy corner with an L-shaped red couch, a color-matched curtain, and a perpendicular stripe of red wall paint.
Sprinkle red accents throughout an open plan living space to complement your sofa.
Dark red sofas gain a gothic spirit amongst opulent black and gilded decor.
A conversation pit makes an uber cozy landing spot for family and friends, which is only enhanced by the vibrancy of red upholstery. Add a wide assortment of scatter cushions to achieve a relaxed look.

Dark and mysterious with strong red interruptions, this modern home interior is an atmospheric space with a bold personality. Visualised by Andrey Vladimirov, this home design features an open plan living space that is encased in dramatic black decor from the ceiling down to the floor. Contemporary furniture and accent cushions throw in the ruby red accent, whilst reserved lighting features set a subtle moody glow. In the kitchen, a riot of red overcomes the cooking and prep space, spilling out onto colour-matched kitchen bar stools at the dining island. In the bedroom, red accents are minimised to create a restfully dark space when sleep comes easily.
We enter this dark design tour inside the main living space, where an open plan lounge area gathers around a modern linear fireplace design.
Cocooned in black decor, natural light from the large windows is quickly swallowed up inside the dark living space. Red scatter cushions and a pair of red accent chairs add a spark of vibrancy to the setup and an indoor plant adds a plume of lively greenery. An upholstered bench divides the lounge from the adjacent kitchen diner without fully obstructing the open flow.
The modern fireplace burns with fantastic brilliance within the black living room wall, where it merges smoothly into the stucco. Wall-mounted units display decorative items under the glow of LED backlights. A modern black living room floor lamp goes almost unnoticed beside the black sofa, where it provides focussed light when required.
Soft lighting highlights the detail in 3D relief art along the hallway.
Behind the lounge area, a black and red kitchen design features a long dining island that accommodates up to five people. A modern linear suspension light pulls along the full length of the island, distributing even illumination.
A glass vase filled with a sprig of greenery provides a fresh centrepiece for the kitchen dining island.
Two bright red kitchen bar stools interrupt a line of black counterparts, causing bold visual interest.
A couple of tumblers and a decorative tray fill the opposite end of the kitchen island.
The kitchen island is the first item you encounter upon entering the main living space that spans the back of the home. The long volume guides the eye towards floor-to-ceiling windows where there is a wide balcony and a sweeping panoramic view.
Behind the wall of red kitchen units, this dark grey dining room offers a more formal dining experience.
A linear planter is set inside of the partition wall between the kitchen and the dining room to provide an uplifting focal point.
A linear light drops a striking red accent above the dining table.
There is a second lounge area within the home, which is fashioned into the shape of a circle with two curved sofas.
A round rug holds the circular furniture arrangement together. A modern coffee table installs a circular core.
A black sideboard melds with the dark walls.
The stylish lamp on top of the sideboard is a Hoop LED table lamp by Adolini+Simonini Associati for Martinelli Luce.
An extraordinary pendant light descends upon the curvaceous lounge layout with mesmerising scale.
A set of backlit shelving units makes an accompanying glow at one side of the round lounge area.
Red artwork emerges from the shadows.
A low plinth displays figurines.
The figurines are Star Wars-themed Bearbrick collectables.
The wide-framed charcoal upholstered bed commands much of the bedroom space.
A long linear bedside unit extends from one side of the upholstered bed.
A black bedroom rug is offset to balance out the wide black bedside unit.
The floor reading lamp saves space on the second bedside table, which is a neat wraparound design.
An edge-to-edge wall of glass includes doors out onto the balcony.
An interior glass partition wall separates the bedroom sleeping area from a walk-in wardrobe.
The tinted glass wardrobe wall softens the visual effects of the clothing that hangs inside, whilst keeping the clothing collection a part of the overall bedroom visual.
The shower space design receives a red accent in the shape of a narrow toiletries shelf.
A red accent wall is matched by an attention-grabbing red toilet–and a matching red toilet roll!
The outside area of the home is smoothly floored in black composite decking, which works around white pebbled plant beds. Uniform rows of small trees grow a formal garden.
Just outside the door, a wooden bench is softened with plush red seat pads. The outdoor seat provides a perfectly situated viewing point to enjoy the garden and the peace of the environment.
A large outdoor sculpture adds a flash of modern style to the garden area.
The sculpture introduces another bold red accent to the deck.
From this decked area, a tall set of illuminated exterior stairs lead up to a parking space that proudly displays the homeowner’s prized motorbike and car – with red paintwork of course.

Muted red accents add visual heat to the plain white expanses of this large, minimalist abode. Visualised by apple745428, The private residence features a laconic design that is free from excess and fuss. The mind is allowed to peacefully rest in spaces with clean-lined storage solutions, sharp furniture silhouettes, and reserved modern light installations. Red decor elements prevent the contemporary minimalist interior from appearing overly sterile or unwelcomely underdeveloped. Red accents are removed inside the master bedroom suite to present a more restful palette, but make a comeback in the bathroom with punchy red fixtures that glow under an atmospheric mood lighting scheme. Floor plan included at the end of the tour.
A red living room scheme is fashioned with a red modular sofa arrangement and overlapping red area rugs. Blank white walls create a cool backdrop for the intensity of colour at the core.
LED strips are recessed into the ceiling to softly illuminate the perimeter of the room. A central focal light installation appears as a series of different shaped boxes that are fitted flush to the ceiling.
A square wooden sofa table is integrated into the modular sofa arrangement, achieving one streamlined piece within the minimalist furniture layout. A multitude of candle holders, books, gold decorative vases, and small bowls make casual table adornments with a bright and lustrous quality.
The living room rug grouping is perfectly colour matched to the modular sofa upholstery to create an impactful colour-blocked effect.
Beside the lounge area, a large kitchen island is wrapped with the same muted shade of red. Contrasting white kitchen units build the core of the kitchen island and furnish a small appliance housing area behind it.
A low white media unit runs the length of the living room TV wall, providing subtle storage for movies, remote controls, consoles, and games.
Four black kitchen bar stools are situated at the end of the kitchen island to fashion a casual eating area.
In the home entryway, made-to-measure wardrobes provide storage for coats, shoes, and bags.
A custom-cut full length mirror fills the opposite wall, providing a convenient dressing area next to the front door.
Perimeter lighting brightens the small entryway.
In the master bedroom, an upholstered bed backs onto a fully mirrored headboard wall, which reflects natural light from the large bedroom window.
Another huge mirror covers a second wall of the bedroom, causing the room to appear twice its actual size.
The master bedroom features a generously sized walk-in closet design.
The closet is situated behind the mirrored headboard, which splits the sleep space from the entryway into the bedroom.
A tension-fit closet system keeps the storage volumes clear of the glass.
Further storage units flank one side of the bedroom doorway, whilst a door on the other side leads into an ensuite bathroom.
Inside the ensuite bathroom, a red bathroom sink unit and a matching red heated towel rail make a bold statement.
A frameless mirror is backlit to create an atmospheric lighting scheme inside the small bathroom.
The bathroom mirror conceals storage space behind the glass, with narrow shelves accessible from the side. A set of brass bathroom faucets are wall mounted in the glow that emits from beneath it.
A waterfall showerhead is embedded into the ceiling to achieve a streamlined look.
A frameless shower screen continues the minimalist aesthetic. Inside the shower area, a red toiletries shelf adds a stripe of colour.
A separate, small WC is equipped with cubist sanitaryware. A floor-standing square toilet is paired with a modern minimalist pedestal sink design. Brass fixtures punctuate bare white walls. Only a wall hung hand towel interrupts the blank perimeter.
A custom-cut vanity mirror stands tall on a plumbing concealment wall behind the pedestal sink unit. LED strips brightly accentuate the narrow mirror around its edges, creating soft illumination in the small room.
The main bathroom is a clean all-white design, with more sharp, cubist sanitaryware. Built-in storage units and shelves make use of a compact corner, creating a stow away area for messy toiletries and spare towels that might spoil the minimalist vibe.
Colour-changing LED lighting creates an extraordinary effect against the blank white canvas, bringing in the same red accent colour that enriches the rest of the home.
A deep bathroom basin stands tall on a linear white vanity unit, whilst its brass faucet protrudes directly from an edge-to-edge vanity mirror behind it. A square toilet pan is raised from the floor to make the floor space appear larger.
The wall mounted vanity unit runs straight into the minimalist bathtub design, creating one crisp uninterrupted line.
In the modern home office, a white desk is accompanied by a matching white swivel chair. A white wall sconce provides understated lighting alongside the furniture ensemble.
A small sofa drops a singular warming accent into the ice white decor scheme. A series of white storage units cover one wall of the home workspace from floor-to-ceiling, making the most of the vertical space.
Elegant, slender white floor lamps arc over the small sofa at one end, whilst a small white side table accessorises the other.
Desk drawers are freestanding beneath the worktop, which allows light from the window to filter through the gaps.
