You don't need to commit to a full redecoration. A few well-placed touches like cushions, blinds, or even tea towels can instantly bring this trend into your home.

What is cherry red

 

Cherry red sits somewhere between a classic red and a brighter, more playful tone. It's rich, warm, and has just the right amount of vibrancy to make an impact without feeling as overpowering as fire engine red! It works beautifully with neutrals like beige and grey, but also pairs well with deep greens, navy, or even gold for a bit of contrast. 

 

Is cherry red the same as burgundy?

 

Not quite! While both shades are making waves right now, they do have their differences.

 

Cherry red: Bright, bold, and a little bit playful, with pink or blue undertones. 

Burgundy: Darker and moodier, with a deeper, wine-like feel. 

 

Cherry red is great for adding energy to a space, while burgundy is ideal for a more sophisticated, cosy vibe. It all depends on the mood you're going for!

 

Why is cherry red suddenly so popular?

 

After years of neutral, pared-back interiors from shades of grey to muted beiges, bold colours are finally making a comeback, and cherry red is leading the way. Forecasted to be huge in 2025 with a key feature in the Pinterest Predicts trend report, as well as a vote of confidence from Dulux, fashion and pop culture have embraced cherry red in everything from shoes to nail polish, and now interiors are following suit. Plus, there's the whole 'unexpected red theory' - where adding a pop of red to a room (or outfit) instantly makes it look more stylish and put together. Scroll through your socials and it won't be long until you see this shade brightening up your feed!

 

How to incorporate the cherry red trend into your home without fully redecorating

 

If painting your walls red feels a bit much (understandable), there are plenty of easier ways to welcome this trend into your home. We recommend starting small to subtly introduce this fun hue, then adding more statement pieces if you fall head over heels for cherry red!

  • Soft furnishings: Cushions, throws, and blankets are an easy, low-commitment way to try on this trend.
  • Accessories: Candles, vases, and even tea towels can add a subtle touch of red throughout your home. 
  • Window dressings: Think blinds or velvet curtains for a luxe, cosy feel. 
  • Furniture: A cherry red footstool or statement chair can be a real show stopper.

Red Roman blinds

 

Looking for something a touch more luxe? Roman blinds bring warmth and texture to a space, and cherry red Roman blinds will make a real statement. Pair with blackout or thermal lining to add practical benefits and layer up with curtains for a maximalist feel. Also available with easy-peasy Twist&Fit installation!

 

Red Venetians blinds

 

Venetian blinds are all about flexibility, letting you control how much light (and in this case, how much red) you want in your space. They add a sleek, modern feel to kitchens, home offices, or anywhere else you'd like a pop of colour, without going all in. Stick to classic aluminium Venetian blinds or skip the drill with styles like Perfect Fit, Stick Fit, and Clip Fit - perfect for windows and patio doors alike. 

 

Accessories

Small but mighty, accessories are the easiest way to test out a new colour, especially if you're starting with a neutral base. Think decorative candles, vases, trinket dishes, or even cherry red kitchenware like mugs and tea towels. Little pops of red here and there can tie a space together without overwhelming it. 

 

Throws and cushions

If your sofa or bed looks like it could do with a pick-me-up, a cherry red throw or some cushions can totally transform it. Pair with neutrals for a modern, fresh look, or go bold by mixing with deep greens or navy. And if you really want to lean into current trends, buddy up your cherry red with some leopard print!

 

Prints and wall art

Not quite ready to commit to furniture or blinds? No problem! Prints and wall art are an easy way to bring in a pop of cherry red. Look for abstract designs, floral prints, or something with a retro feel. Sleek gold or black frames work especially well to add a bit of contrast. 

 

Candles

A quick, affordable way to try the trend! Pillar candles of various heights and widths clustered together, scented candles in red glass holders, or even little red tea lights can add a cosy, warm vibe to your space, bonus points if they're cherry scented! 

 

Tableware

Cherry red plates, bowls, or glassware? Yes, please! It's the perfect way to bring in the trend without making any big changes. Plus, red tableware works well year-round - festive for Christmas, romantic for Valentine's day, and stylish every other day in between!
