Green and red decor accents come together to create bright breaks of colour inside these two predominantly monochrome modern home interiors. Breakthroughs of green provide the comforting hue of the great outdoors that soothes and revitalises the soul. Punchy red decor elements drop in moments of unapologetic energy and vigour, which transform the character of cool contemporary surroundings into edgy, offbeat settings. Our first colour infused home interior is a tour of freeform minimalism with smooth curves and a powerful execution. Our second tour is shaped with a blend of contemporary and mid-century modern silhouettes, and strong concrete foundations that solidly underpin a host of vibrant statement pieces.
A fabulous freeform living room rug spreads a gradient of colour across the floor of our first featured home interior. A black living room floor lamp echoes the curves of the rug design with an oversized arched arm.
Living room wall decor is non-existent except for a freeform mirrored spectacle that puddles on the plain white wall like liquid mercury.
A masculine black leather sofa design boldly stalks the perimeter of the room. A segmented backrest helpfully lightens the look of the large black volume.
In the centre of the minimalist living room layout, a white marble coffee table nests with a contrasting black counterpart. The lounge chair beside it is the Barcelona chair, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Knoll, which was originally designed for the king and queen of Spain.
Steps at the side of the lounge area give rise to an elevated dining space. A modern dining room chandelier competes for attention above a startling red dining table.
The modern black dining chairs contrast strikingly with the table, making its gloss red finish appear even brighter still.
In answer to the eye-catching nature of the statement dining area, the neighbouring dining island is executed in a more understated palette of black and clear acrylic.
A plain white kitchen extends peacefully behind the black kitchen table and satin silver kitchen island. White integrated appliances blend quietly with the flat-fronted cabinetry.
Our second featured home design dips a little darker in shade, with dark grey elements and large black wall panels taking up a dominant role. A large round rug places a charcoal base beneath the open plan lounge area, which gathers an assortment of contrasting furniture pieces together into one snug brood.
A black and white houndstooth pouf ties in with the shape of the large living room rug, and a curved sofa pulls tightly around its edge.
Living room wall decor continues the rounded shape theme and introduces a bold pop of green.
A cylindrical stool rounds out the living room furniture arrangement without adding any bulk.
A mid century modern coffee table places a reuleaux-triangle silhouette into the centre of the lounge, where it nests with a matching circular coequal. Decorative ceramic vases make a shapely adornment and bring in a small burst of red.
As we move through into the kitchen diner space of our second home design, we’re met with a sleek, gloss red dining table.
A unique dining room chandelier blazes bright and bold along the full length of the red table, creating light reflections across its bright surface.
A decorative shelving unit builds a useful room divider between the vivid kitchen dining area and a less colourful formal dining room. A restrained collection of curiosities and books sparsely occupy its double-sided shelves.
Concrete details cool the red accent interior, in the shape of a minimalist modern staircase design, concrete kitchen countertops, and cool concrete flooring.
A low pile area rug underlines the red rectangular dining table with a solid black base.
Modern artwork drops a point of interest onto a dark feature wall by the kitchen. A kitchen peninsula partially fills the opening between the dining room and the culinary space, creating a functional division between the two zones.
A wall of light fills the back of the kitchen in brilliant contrast to stark black appliance cabinets and a matching black panelled ceiling treatment.
A white kitchen island is settled in the centre of the open concept kitchen, where it serves as a casual breakfast bar too. Black kitchen bar stools are paired to accommodate a breakfast or coffee break for two.
Whilst one kitchen sink is situated on the kitchen peninsula, a second finds its home on the kitchen island.
The island runs tandem to the kitchen peninsula in perfect alignment.
Stainless steel bar handles brighten the black kitchen units, whilst black integrated appliances merge simply with their housing units.
The open-sided bookcase allows line of sight to pass all the way from the kitchen to the formal dining room at the far end, which is equipped with a wet bar.
Despite its predominantly dark decor scheme, the home interior appears bright and welcoming thanks to well placed modern lighting and brightly coloured accents.
A moon sculpture is perched on a raised platform beneath the modern concrete staircase. A glass balustrade maintains the floating effect of the concrete treads.
The heavy concrete treads appear almost weightless in their cantilevered design.

Don’t you dream of shaking things up a bit and taking an exciting break from the norm? Well, you can take a walk on the wild side in your very own home with an eye-popping colour contrast decor scheme. In this trio of colourful home designs, we’ll indulge in the red and yellow colourway, delivered in confident accent pieces that uplift and personalise modern living spaces. With this bold colour combo, you’ve got to get the ratio just right, else you might feel like you’ve moved into a McDonald’s. So, step away from the burger and fries and pay attention to the importance of white spatial balance, bold black anchor points, neutralising neighbour tones, and counteractive patterns.
An elevated reading room looks more like a modern art installation inside of this living space, with its solid yellow painted walls and a single red accent chair. The neighbouring lounge sports matching red shelving units, whilst being grounded on a black living room rug.
A swing arm wall lamp extends over the curved contours of a white cloud-like sofa design. Red wall art draws colour higher into the vertical plane.
A unique coffee table design draws curves into the centre of the lounge. A glass vase filled with greenery makes a tall and elegant table decoration.
Black and white houndstooth upholstery makes a small lounge chair into an eye-catching room feature. The bold pattern counterbalances the saturation of colour on the opposite side of the room, whilst an expanse of pure white space makes breathing room in between.
A second expanse of pattern marbles beautifully across the TV wall in shades of yellow and green.
A white console unit quietly camouflages with the perimeter of the room, whilst a ribbon of LED light casts a subtle glow underneath it.
The lounge is lightly separated from the colour-saturated reading room by a wall of glass.
Sunlight from the large living room windows adds to the vividity of the yellow chamber.
The bronze chimney of a modern, cylinder fireplace cuts up through the marbled TV wall.
Around the corner from the fireplace, red artwork creates a hot focal point at the end of a plain white corridor.
Red and yellow accent chairs make a powerful statement in the centre of this large and light-filled living space.
The bold accent chairs make a bright pairing for a stunning azure view.
Black window frames make stark contrast with crisp white walls. The monochrome backdrop allows the more colourful accent pieces to have their moment to shine.
A glass coffee table makes a visually light addition to the lounge space, whilst a soft grey area rug adds a subduing shade to the arrangement.
Next to the red and yellow armchairs, a modern sofa finishes off the lounge layout with a calm grey tone. A single red scatter cushion ties the couch in with the brighter colour theme.
In the corner of the lounge, a full length mirror reflects the bright accent chairs, doubling their effect.
Smaller red accents are introduced in the shape of an Oda floor lamp and abstract artwork. White space between the colourful accent pieces creates a calm balance.
A glass partition wall separates the living space from the hallway of the home, which allows natural light and ocean panorama to be shared.
The black framework around the glass partition serves as a weighty black anchor for the colourful living room dining room combo, and complements black linear suspension lights over the dining table.
The colour scheme in the kitchen is a more subdued affair, with tan leather kitchen bar stools and pure white units.
A white worktop wraps the kitchen island in a waterfall finish.
LEDs thread underneath the island countertop to highlight the breakfast bar.
Wooden accessories gently warm the ice white kitchen installation.
The full height of the room is utilised to maximise kitchen storage space. Appliances are integrated to achieve a streamlined effect.
Cut-away handles create a simple, fuss-free aesthetic.
This compact apartment offers a higher saturation of colour but in more muted tones. A small sectional sofa splits the grey lounge area from a brick red kitchen design.
The soffit above the living room windows is boldly picked out in chartreuse, whilst vermillion red drapes peep out subtly from behind light grey counterparts.
Grey upholstered furniture and a pure white area rug mute the rest of the lounge decor.
White wall panels make a sleek TV wall, which is darkly underlined by a contrasting black media unit. A single ceramic vase drops in a muted red accent.
Spanning out from behind the media unit, a mirrored panel creates the illusion of added depth in the small living room. A slender floor lamp adds a cosy glow to the corner of the lounge, where it gently illuminates an ottoman and a modern plant stand.
More indoor plants and sprigs of greenery make fresh contrast with the red decor elements.
A shapely glass vase makes a dainty centrepiece on the dining table.
The red kitchen is balanced out with a black and fluted glass curio cabinet.
Red grout defines the white tiled kitchen backsplash.
In the entryway, decor follows a crisp black and white palette, with only a solitary entryway shelf bringing in the red colour thread.
A black entryway stool pushes underneath the red floating shelf and a slimline linear suspension light.
A glass vase reflects prettily in a full length mirror. See more ideas for glass vases.

It’s an uncommon combo for a two colour accent scheme, but the vibrant clash of red and green is one that pays off in spades when balanced in the correct tones. The three home interiors that we focus on here deliver the red and green decor palette in a variety of combinations. Our first featured home design is a rich rush of deep vermillion elements that encircle teal and pea green accent pieces amidst a sea of freshening white. The power of the white backdrop prevails inside the elegant and artistically executed burgundy and sage accented scheme of tour number two, and in our final modern interior that comes alive under bright beats of the contrasting palette.
Red spiral stairs twist up through the red and green living room of this 96 square metre property, located in Lviv, Ukraine. The feature staircase takes on a sculptural appearance under its solid vermillion finish.
A teal green sofa creates a rich colour clash against the colourful staircase treatment. A glass coffee table on castors carries a neutral aesthetic with a quirky, modern edge.
A unique floor lamp reflects the colours of the room in its thick chrome stem. A leather lounge chair beds a black anchor point by the wide window.
Light grey flooring falls away into the peripheral of the palette, allowing the bolder pieces to shine.
Hefty coffee table books fill a light reflective glass side table by the sheer white window dressing.
Off-white and pale grey microcement finishes smooth out a modern hallway decor scheme, where mirrored closets increase the sense of space and light.
Vertical tiles follow a slightly curved wall shape toward the front door. Decorative wall hooks dot the light ceramic.
The kitchen diner scheme ignites the taste buds with an appetite inducing ketchup red and pea green decor palette. Modern red dining chairs encircle a matching round dining table. A single wall of solid green cabinets colour the kitchen.
The green kitchen installation is momentarily interrupted by a window of workspace, which is encased within a recycled glass countertop and backsplash.
One green cabinet conceals an appliance housing unit to keep the run solid and simplified.
A wall of glass blocks shares natural light between the living room and a small powder room.
In the bedroom, a curved teal green surround cosily cocoons the head of the bed with an arrangement of neat bedside ledges and overhead shelving.
Small swing arm wall lights extend a chrome accent on either side of the bright red comforter.
In the corner of the bedroom, a mosaic of white tiles finishes a unique modern desk design. A fresh white office chair complements the clean look.
A round interior window frames a wide vignette of the home workspace on the landing.
An ultra small sink design and a wall mounted soap dispenser tackle the lack of space in the downstairs powder room.
The glass block wall causes pretty light play across the tiny cloakroom.
A distorted view of the living room staircase, via the obscure glass, creates watery red contrast with a wall hung green toilet.
Teal tilework colourfully encases the upstairs bathroom.
A frameless round vanity mirror almost disappears in the sea of dark tiles around the custom basin.
Moments of white tilework compose clean frames around doorways that define the shower and bathtub wet zone and the entryway.
Lower and upper floor plans.
Our second home tour takes place in an elegant and artistically executed burgundy and sage green accented interior.
Deep burgundy scatter cushions contrast richly with the sage tufted sofa. A solid burgundy painted canvas sets up a dramatic backdrop.
A black marble side table steps up the luxe. A chic lamp tops the tinted glass table with a clean white shade, which melds quietly with the surrounding wall colour.
The area rug lays down a plush white and pale grey streaked base for the lounge arrangement.
The modern area rug texturally softens a microcement floor treatment.
An arched doorway links gracefully into the next space. A round coffee table complements the architectural curve.
Glass flower vases add a simple yet decorative touch to the table.
Inside the bedroom, an upholstered burgundy headboard is mounted onto green colour blocked decor to create stylish contrast. Burgundy closets rise at one side of the room, whilst green drapes balance out the opposite end. A bedroom area rug transfers the green accent to the floor.
Apartment floor plan.
Our final home tour takes us to Odessa, Ukraine. This small modern apartment comes alive under bright beats of contrasting colour.
Whilst red throw pillows blend with the upholstered sofa, a yellow ochre throw brings contrast to the lounge palette. A geometric rug layers in an element of pattern that complements areas of textured tiling on partition walls at either side.
A green shelving unit is inset across the structural divide to provide an exciting moment of colour contradiction by the red sofa.
Geometric floor tiles lay an optical illusion along the hallway of the apartment. Louvre doors add interest to the entryway closet.
A custom-made desk and cabinet set builds green colour blocking across the front of the lounge space, which doubles as media storage beneath the TV.
A run of kitchen base cabinets form a buffet by the dining set, where two red dining chairs brighten up the white and wood arrangement.
LED ribbons highlight the bright accent hues.
More green cabinetry builds a fresh looking breakfast bar, which takes on a tropical essence under a built-in bed of indoor plants. A red kitchen backsplash colourfully balances out the opposite side of the space.
