Although considered a strong color, red is more versatile than many people believe. When used judiciously, it can energize a room and make your guests feel welcome. A focal point like a couch in a red tone is also expressive and inviting.

Flooring
Carpeting in a neutral color such as tan, brown or cream are good choices, and consider using area rugs in an unusual texture to brighten it up.
Wood Tones
Both light and dark wood tones complement red. Light tones such as birch, ash or maple look attractive, as well as darker tones like cherry or mahogany.
Window Treatments
Bamboo blinds or sheer curtains in a neutral tone work well with red, or choose heavier drapery in another organic color such as deep green.
Wall Color
Using a lighter or less saturated color such as pale yellow, sage green or light gray works to balance the rest of the room's color and will not clash with red.
Artwork
Paintings are also a good way to assert your individuality. Purchase or create a painting that picks up the red in your couch.
