- 1). Paint the walls with white as the main shade. The darker colors of red and black make the room appear smaller and cramped. White gives an open and airy feel to the room and makes an excellent backdrop for the accent colors of red and black.
- 2). Carpet the room in bold shades of red. If your floors are hardwood, select several throw rugs in various shades of red and black to place around the room. If you have tile flooring in a different color, consider replacing it with carpet or hardwood flooring. If your tile is a shade of white, decorate it with bright red and black throw rugs. If it is the bathroom you are decorating, consider white tile with black accents for your flooring and use accent rugs, decorative hand towels, and a shower curtain in bright shades of red.
- 3). Purchase small, inexpensive pieces of black-painted or ebony-stained accent furniture for the room such as end tables and small book cases. If you are not willing to replace your larger furniture such as couches and recliners with black leather pieces, keep your decorating color scheme by purchasing small throw pillows in red and black or a red and black throw for the back of the couch.
- 4). Add decorations and accents to your room such as black vases with red silk flowers, or wall paintings and hangings in colors of red and black. Update all of your family pictures hanging on the wall by changing them into red and black frames, and update your lamps with red or black shades.
