WHEN CAN I GO FOR WALLS IN RED?

This is a scan of a picture of a stylish living, that had been decorated by late Mrs. Georgette Reuchlin. As you can see the walls have been coloured in a red tone that is in contrast with the black lacquered woodwork. Unfortunately the photo was taken during daytime and the impression of the red is washy. I guess the intention of the Reuchlin family was to exploit this lovely room during the evening as a living. By the absence of a shot of the living by night, I’ve applied two examples of a Paris living, that can give you a similar impression  of the vespertine effect of red.

These visuals give a glowing impression of red painted walls and shutters. The observation of the difference between the washy and glowing impression of red supports my case and brings me back to the fourth colouring condition.

‘Choose the right colouring for a room at the moment you and your family are planning to use the room. Let’s say; if the living will be most visited during the evening, than your decision should take place during  the same  part of the day. Probably the best tip is to test your idea with some samples at day one and double check your choice the other day at the same time as the day before. With this trick you can avoid a misfit’.
