Kartell: Ravenous in Red

Associated with energy, danger, strength, power, determination, as well as passion, desire, and love, red is a fiery colour filled with emotion and drama. Infuse these powerful qualities into your own designs with a touch of ravenous red. Kartell has you covered with a gorgeous selection of red decor pieces to suit the modern lifestyle – all of which is available through agents, True Design, in South Africa.

Why we love red? Red is far from dull. If you need a touch of drama in your living room, you can’t go wrong with a powerful dose of red. Think red light fittings or simple accents, or go bold with red furniture to infuse energy into your favourite space. In the bedroom, red can also connote love and intimacy, so red does well in this space to create a romantic atmosphere. But whether you use it in the bedroom, lounge or even the kitchen or bathroom, there is no denying that red demands attention and can add instant appeal in the home. Consider the right shade: Its variations include colours such as scarlet, crimson and others. The connotations of each variation may vary. Darker colours, like maroon or burgundy are less bright and often more sophisticated. Brighter shades, like scarlet, imply more energy and infuse your space with character and vibrancy. Red attracts attention more than most colours on the spectrum. Learn to use it in the right ways to enhance your space. A red accent on a neutral background can help draw attention to a single element. Too much red, and you can create an overwhelming space, so rather opt for a few key red highlights for a stylish look.
