Decorating with Reds and Oranges

Red boosts the vitality of a living space—exactly what was needed in this basement, part of a Chicago Victorian home remodel. The rich red (Benjamin Moore AF-295 Pomegranate) on walls dispels any thoughts of a cold, dark or damp basement. Pillows and art in complementary lime green (opposite red on the color wheel) add a touch of additional color without feeling “Christmas-y.”
