Red Wallpapers & Orange Wall Coverings

From the flushed skies of sunset to the kaleidoscopic horizons of autumn, fiery orange and red have proven themselves as scene-stealers. And when these brilliant tones dress walls, you get default showstoppers. That’s why orange wallpapers and red wall coverings are so loved by homes that are looking to curate spaces with vibrant energy and rich personality. 

These lively colours cheer up the dullest corners, brighten the darkest nooks, and create compelling focal points. If your home’s interiors feel slightly underwhelming or cold right now, they probably need a shot of visual warmth - something that orange and red wallpapers offer generously and effortlessly. So, come along as we tour our collection, offering expert tips to dress any space with red and orange wall coverings.

Creating Stunning Spaces with Red and Orange Wallpapers

If confidence wore colours, it would be red and orange. These powerful hues walk into a room and command every glance. And when they dress an entire wall or room, it becomes a daring style statement. Whether it’s a muted brick red like By the Sea, a scrumptious pumpkin like Upper Lake or a theatrical scarlet like Draceana, these spirited wallpapers don’t hide behind shadows—they light up like a flame!

No doubt, orange and red wallpapers bring an unmistakable sense of warmth and vigour. They create interiors that feel welcoming, expressive and characterful. Designers lean on them to:

• Save a room dominated by white and gray tones from feeling too clinical

• Craft a focal point for a room that lacks one

• Prevent a moody space from feeling too gloomy or austere

Red and orange wallpapers are adept at bringing a rush of energy, a sparkle of joy, and an exuberance that captures attention. While that makes them ideal for some spaces, they feel that much out of step in others. Dressing any home with these perky hues calls for some insight on where they belong and how the room must be styled. And that’s where we’re heading next.

Introduce Orange & Red Wallpapers to Spaces Cut Out for Them

Red and orange feel like a bolt of current to the eye. They are highly stimulative hues that make the mind alert and keep it engaged. Hence, vibrant versions of red and orange wallpapers are not apt for restful, serene spaces like bedrooms and nurseries, where you want to unwind mentally to catch good sleep.

Instead, introduce vibrant red and orange wallpapers to spaces meant for interaction, activity, and creative pursuits, like:

• Kids’ Play Areas: Where little feet can’t stay still and curious minds never tire of exploring, red and orange join in with their own share of enthusiasm and playfulness. Like in Hampton Manor’s red zigzag stripes that dash through the room with their jaunty stride. Or, Malika that’ll leave little eyes lost in wonder with its storied prints of royal processions, ethnic folks, and native wildlife.

• Kitchens and Breakfast Nooks: When it comes to making cooking and dining areas more flavourful, none can do it better than red and orange wallpapers. They feel at home beside luscious apples and tangerines—where colours and flavours blend seamlessly. Panache’s minuscule orange checks pair beautifully with a sun-kissed breakfast table’s linen runners and gingham tea towels. And, Moresco’s block-printed florals feel like a foretaste of your kitchen’s herb garden.

• Sunrooms: Orange and red wallpapers turn light into a festival of joy. In a piece like Prickles, the sunroom comes alive with the floral elegance of lush marigold sprays. And a peach-led chinoiserie wallpaper like Robena conjures a sun-kissed rose garden indoors, creating an ambiance for relaxation. Here, the walls echo the same vibe as the season, bottling up sunlight for a time when the skies will pour only snow and rain.

• Powder Rooms: Where jewel boxes are the decor inspiration, vivacious velvety tones can’t be left behind. Hence, in dramatic powder rooms, where bold tones and motifs are paired with layered lighting, a flamy damask wallpaper like Bonito feels right, which turns this windowless nook into a bright palatial escape. Or, something like Echo Beach, whose statement botanical prints on a deep maroon ground feel like gems sparkling in a velvet-lined ornament box.

• Traditional Libraries & Studies: Where the mind has to stay alert yet absorbed, red and orange wallpapers become mood-setters. They excite the senses and create an atmosphere that nourishes focus. In old-world-style libraries, wallpapers like Hakoba and Foxy Lady pair well with wood-lined book shelves and leather chairs, offering contrast, warmth and a business-oriented ambiance.

Let Moderation be the Guiding Principle

Both red and orange are invigorating hues that can easily overpower the scene. The secret to getting them right lies in a well-discerned restraint. Here are three ways to ensure that your orange and red wallpapers don’t look overdone:

• Mind the Scale and Tone: When vivid red and orange are paired with grand-sized motifs, you get an eye-magnet. If you’d like to keep the visual impact toned down, opt for milder shades and small-sized prints.

• Limit the Coverage: Instead of wrapping an entire room, restrain the coverage to a single accent wall. Especially if you choose highly busy prints like that of Marcel or electrifying tones such as in Netsuke.

• Restrict Bold Shades to Accent Tones: If you’re aiming for rousing versions of red/orange, but also want to keep it from taking over the space, here’s another trick. Look for wallpapers that feature your favourite shade of red/orange in its details, such as in Sea King, instead of being the background tone as in Tarsus Assembly.
