A Touch of Red 2 | 3

Hotel San Jose, Austin

Hotel San José, Austin*

Like in our first blog post about the application of the colour Red we would like to emphasize the fact that Red can be too much. It’s a colour that grabs you by the eyes and will try to influence your overall view of a space. We think the ideal proportion of the usage of Red in combination with other colours is 1:3. See the Red lacquered chairs in the Austin hotel room, that has been decorated in a fresh style with lots of white applied in the bed linen, furnishings and colouring. In its subtle application the Red supports the characteristics and freshness of this light room.

This subtlety is to observe in the Bergeron’s designs for her daughter’s room. She made sure that the light blue overwhelmed the impact of the Red wall covering. Diane Bergeron is a Melbourne based agent in imported boutique fabrics. For more info about her skills in decoration, click here for our blog post of August, 28. Tomorrow we will show you the impact of red painted beams.
