We could all use a splash of color in our homes from time to time, and red has long been a go-to in both modern and classic interior design. Why not try out a Medium Carmine color scheme for your place this season, which will be sure to add a spark to any room?

Cream, ivory, white, and other neutral colors are age-old choices for couches and other furniture. To give their house a fresh new look, consumers are now gravitating towards deeper colors like Medium Carmine. As the new year approaches, pops of color in everything—not just sofas—are becoming increasingly trendy. Brown-red hues, in particular, offer a house the distinct aspect of both old and contemporary, which is coming back in style, just as it was decades ago.

Medium Carmine hue looks great in traditional homes as well as sleek and contemporary interiors. Use for a splash of color all over your soft furnishings and fixtures or as an accent tone. Antiques, like color, are a form of décor that can be toned down and mixed elegantly with a modern aesthetic to produce a one-of-a-kind old yet fresh blend. There is no shortage of antiques to choose from, which allows homeowners to be creative when deciding which antiques would be best suited for them. Choose an antique carmine statue as a fixture, ideally made from a precious metal or a classy chair in a whiskey hue. 

Another thing that contributes to Medium Carmines’ attraction is its dark complexion. Warm minimalism is on the rise. Minimalism, or the interior aesthetic of simplicity in form and color, is sometimes misinterpreted as white couches, white walls, and white accessories. Yes, it can be nice, but it’s also a bit too plain. Also, with most of us being constantly surrounded by our own four walls due to the pandemic, the less exciting ambiance only made things worse. Medium Carmine is a soothing hue that works well with the neutral, pared-down palettes favored by minimalism aficionados. Warmth, earthiness, and tranquility are all qualities associated with this shade, making it timeless and grounded.

Have we inspired you to include some earthy touches in your own home? The good news is this: Brown-red, unlike some other interior design choices, is here to stay. It’s one of those hues that never go out of style. It is what design is all about—as much as we speak about trends, the real skill comes from the capacity to build environments that last.
