Cherry Red Colour Trend: 8 Ways to Style It in Your Home
Cherry red is the colour trend making its way into interiors this year, and it is doing so with very little subtlety. The shade has already appeared across fashion runways, TikTok edits, and the viral ‘Unexpected Red’ theory, but now it’s entered our homes with a renewed sense of confidence.
If you want to use cherry red in your home but are not entirely sure how to integrate it without overwhelming the space, here are 8 ways to style the cherry red colour trend.
1. Start small with a cherry red accent chair
A cherry red accent chair is the simplest way to bring the colour trend into your home. The Model 02 armchair in Brick offers a controlled burst of colour that works well in modern and minimalist interiors. Position it against soft neutral walls to let the colour speak for itself. It adds depth without demanding a full redesign and is ideal for anyone exploring cherry red home decor for the first time.
2. Pair cherry red with colours that complement it
Cherry red works well with a range of tones including pink, burgundy and greens.
The Model 03 modular sofa in Vine provides a strong base for the cherry red trend, allowing red cushions, throws or a cherry red rug to stand out in a balanced way. The combination feels stylish, contemporary and intentional, which is exactly what you want when adopting a bold colour trend.
3. Choose a cherry red sofa if you prefer to make a statement
A cherry red sofa can transform a living room instantly. The Model 01 Sofa in Brick is a practical way to embrace the trend without losing control of the palette. Pair it with neutral walls and simple accessories to ensure the colour feels elevated rather than overpowering. This is one of the most effective ways to use cherry red in the home if you prefer a confident and warm interior style.
4. Introduce cherry red through textiles
Textiles are a low commitment method of bringing cherry red into your decor. The Model 05 Ottoman in Brick is an ideal piece for anyone who wants a touch of red without investing in a larger piece of furniture. Cushions, throws and velvet textures make the cherry red colour trend feel more refined.
5. Use pattern to add structure
Patterned accessories can help break up blocks of colour. Stripes, checks and geometric prints work reliably with cherry red. Add patterned cushions to the your sofa bed to bring structure and interest to an otherwise simple palette. Stick to cream, black or pale pink for a look that stays calm while still supporting the cherry red interior trend.
6. Use cherry red accessories for a quick update
For a simple update, cherry red accessories like lighting are an easy choice. A red vase, sculptural side table or table lamp can bring the colour into your living room without changing the overall design. These smaller details work well with the clean silhouettes, which allows bolder accessories to stand out without creating visual clutter. This is a smart way to explore the cherry red decor trend without committing to furniture.
7. Bring cherry red into the dining space
Cherry red works well in dining rooms where you want warmth and focus. A cherry red rug beneath the dining table is an effective way to anchor the space. Red dining chairs or a pendant light can also introduce the trend in a structured and balanced way. Pair these with your sofa set up in a lighter tone to keep the room cohesive.
8. Create a monochrome cherry red scheme
A monochrome cherry red interior is bold and striking. If you enjoy a strong editorial look, layer your living room furniture with cherry red curtains, cushions and accessories in similar tones. This approach suits modern interiors and creates a gallery like quality. Keep the textures simple to avoid visual overload. This is a sophisticated way to explore the cherry red trend in a more artistic direction.
Whether you choose a small accent piece or a full cherry red sofa, the colour can be styled in a range of ways that feel modern and considered. Curate your perfect cherry red set up here.
