Red is a bold and commanding colorway for any piece of furniture but particularly for the largest piece in the living room: the couch. In this gallery of 40 inspirational modern home interiors, we take a look at how to decorate living room with red couch. We'll discover how to create balance with such a vibrant element and ways in which to complement the aesthetic. This collection of living room designs illustrates striking decor schemes that build dark drama around a red sofa, light lounge areas with uplifting impact, red-infused rustic interiors, boho-style sitting rooms, and contemporary minimalist layouts with colorful wow factor.
Fashion a color-blocked landing spot. Situate a red sectional sofa around the edges of a red living room rug in a cozy conversational arrangement. Finish the ensemble with a red coffee table at the center of the space to create one solid color block.
Elevate your statement sofa with color-matched wall art. This approach is particularly effective with oversized pieces of art in a high-ceilinged home.
Make it fun. Instead of neutralizing the vibrancy of your statement sofa, layer on even more color with rainbow scatter cushions and an equally fun living room rug.
Dilute your bright red accent into a soft pink feature wall. Taking inspiration from the red sofa design in this living room, a diluted pink gallery wall has been fashioned. A large area rug ties in with the punchy black and white prints.
Choose a boxy modular sofa to create an abstract living room design. Add stark black accent pieces to outline and anchor the scheme, and a splash of metallic gold for a luxurious final touch.
Elevate a red couch upon a platform floor to fashion a floating island of color. This example creates an explosion of color within a raw industrial setting.
Follow the leader. Let your red sofa lead the decor palette as the strongest piece in a predominantly white room. The living room rug and wall art should contain fine details in the same hue whilst keeping the impact light.
All-in color zoning. The sofa, rug, artwork, and wall color all pool together to make a riot of red that zones this living room area from an equally color-blocked yellow bedroom space.
Add nuggets of complementary color. These recessed shelving nooks offer a fun opportunity for painting splashes of matching red paintwork around a statement sofa.
Use red couches to shape a warm border. Large living rooms will benefit from the cozy color-banding of three matching red sofas arranged in a U-shaped layout. In this living room, a neat runner and red decorative vases are utilized to complete a full circuit.
Set up special moments around your red couch in a matching color tone. In this home, a patterned red backsplash and feature shelving make a small kitchen pop.
Write your own color story. A dual-color sectional sofa arrangement gives you the opportunity to get creative with your living space. Use colorful shelf inserts to complement the look.
Neutralize a large red couch or a line of multiple red sofas with a counterbalancing gray or beige counterpart. Tie the two together by placing a simple red throw or accent cushion on the neutral seating.
Dark red sofas gain a gothic spirit amongst opulent black and gilded decor.

A conversation pit makes an uber cozy landing spot for family and friends, which is only enhanced by the vibrancy of red upholstery. Add a wide assortment of scatter cushions to achieve a relaxed look.
