Red is a bold color for furniture and home decor. It can symbolize strength, passion, confidence, and energy. While it can be used in any room in the house, it’s best for rooms where people gather socially and will want to feel energized rather than places that are meant to be strictly calm and restful, although some shades of red are considered romantic and can be used in the bedroom. Pairing red with a neutral color, such as brown or white, will tone down its energy a little. Some people find that using red in a kitchen or dining room encourages their appetites.
