Delectable red, purple and pink tones aren’t just for the winter months, as these bold and rich shades work perfectly all year round; injecting striking colour and an unexpected powerful theme into any space. Taking these berry colours to heart, we have put together a Pinterest-inspired group of stellar interior shots, demonstrating how effective this palette is – no matter the size or aesthetic of the room in question.
Soft Reds
The combination of orange and pink-based red here works beautifully, creating a slight contrast between the sofa and wall colour that shouldn’t work as well as it does.

Sharp Crimson
Unapologetic reds are a statement in themselves, but this play of red against blue is a really punchy, gutsy look.

Sweet Pink
Berry colours often drift between the red/pink boundary, but for this moment we have gone full pink – this sorbet wall and raspberry sofa making one irresistible duo.

Just Peachy
Softening things for a moment, the peachy red tones employed here are so effective against this white background, creating a fruity palette on a minimalist scale.

Matte Moments
We love a strong red in matte and this wall and door do not disappoint. The shadows and light on the surface create rich and bold accents, showing off its colour in full form.

Sweet As Candy
Velvet in a candy apple red sits against a soft, candyfloss pink to amazing effect here – given a dose of further interest and colour dimension via the eclectic gallery wall.

Must-Have Mulberry
Two-tone walls, a mulberry sofa and a soft, textured pink rug on a warm, scrubbed wooden floor? Yes, please.

Warm Purple
Finishing with a ruby-purple wall and an oxblood leather seat, this wine-based palette is modern, moody and dramatic.
