Red

Our best selling red

Red paint is confident and charismatic, or rich and sensuous. A statement color, red is a vivid choice to liven up an entry or add playfulness to a kids’ room. Red can also be understated, providing a muted quality that brings depth to the walls of an elegant living room or dining room. Red paint pairs well with a range of neutrals, providing striking options for trim and wainscoting. When using a high sheen, red delivers high drama and elegance

Our tips for decorating with red

The range of red is wide, from burgundy to maroon to terracotta, empowering you to find a hue that suits your personal style and home aesthetic.

On the earthy end of the spectrum, muted rusty tones can evoke an easy-going, inviting vibe that blend beautifully with brown, taupe and wood. Whereas deep cherry red tones can heighten the drama - sending a signal of colour confidence. Deep reds we love include Dinner Party AF-300 and violet-tinged reds like Raisin Torte 2083-10 and New London Burgundy HC-61.

If you are looking for a neutral that pairs well with red, consider warm neutrals such as Coastal Path AF-380 and Bradstreet Beige HC-48, or cooler neutrals like Revere Pewter HC-172 and Wish AF-680.

Red is an enduringly popularly choice for exterior paint work too. Even in small doses, red is a great statement colour - and making a statement when it comes to your home's exterior is always a good idea!

When considering a red hue for exteriors, front doors have become a go-to for homeowners and a favourite exterior space perfect for showcasing deep colours against typically neutral hues. The result is subtle yet playful, a touch of creativity on a traditional exterior.
