Ideas & Advice
Red kitchens may not be as popular as other current color schemes, but these rooms are still highly stylish and greatly underappreciated. The color red is present in today's most popular interior design styles, so no matter what aesthetic you're leaning into, red can be a great complementary color or primary accent. If you're struggling to conceptualize what a stylish red kitchen can look like, read on to see our best red kitchen ideas.
When you're designing a red kitchen, you don't have to create a fully saturated room. In fact, a singular pop or fed can help define the room's color scheme without being overbearing. This red can be presented in a red runner rug, a red piece of artwork, a floral arrangement, or red seats at your kitchen island.
While runner rugs are the most popular option for kitchens, medium to large area rugs can also do wonders in furnishing your kitchen. By using a larger rug, you can create a bigger style impact, provide a soft surface over a larger area, and ensure that the entire kitchen is comfortable to walk through.
Even if you are not decorating an open concept space like this, it is still beneficial to consider how adjacent rooms complement one another. In this case, the red oriental runner rug in the kitchen matches the color and style of the dining room rug. Simple connections like this can do wonders in creating a cohesive design throughout your entire home.
Vibrant, rich reds certainly have their place in interior design, but muted and aged reds are great options as well. If you're looking to add a "well loved" look to your kitchen, look for an aged vintage rug like the one shown here. The colors and patterns may be more muted, but they can still have a solid enough presence to impact the room's grand design.

Country styles tend to use rich reds and browns as the main colors. In these cases, consider the color along with the rug's construction and material. A braided red rug like the one shown here exemplifies country style perfectly and pairs wonderfully with other homey accents.
While this dining table may not be in the immediate kitchen area, it is right next to it. Because this dining room features red in both the large rug and the tabletop, it is important to consider what shades of red should be present in the kitchen and how prominent those shades should be. You may choose to lean boldly into that color, or you may present it as a secondary accent in the kitchen. Ultimately, it is up to your personal tastes.
Red kitchens aren't based solely around the color red. In the case of this traditional kitchen, red is more subtly presented in the red wood tones of the cabinets and kitchen island. If you enjoy the color red but don't want it at the forefront of your kitchen's design, consider more subtle avenues like the one shown here by using red wood tones and cherry woods.
Modern interior design tends to use more neutral cabinets, tiles, and floors. While this does allow the room to be subtly adapted with decor to suit the times, you can see how bold red floor tiles and red backsplash tiles can stand out from the crowd. By going bold with your room's permanent flooring and tile work, you can firmly and confidently cement the room's style.
Whenever you add color to any room, it's important to note that the colors don't have to match one another exactly. In fact, it's better if they don't, since variation in brightness, pattern, and material can create a more visually interesting space. You can see this clearly on display in this kitchen and dining room where the red chairs, red wall art, red rug, and red accent chair do not match one another exactly.
Red is an incredibly diverse color in interior design. Whether you're creating a space that feels homey and traditional, contemporary and artistic, or tribal, you can find red area rugs that suit your unique aesthetic. Allow this room, along with all the others, encourage you: red is a great color for almost any interior design style.
Monochromatic black and white color palettes are simply timeless. Along with that, this color scheme is also a ton of fun to play with when it comes to different accents and decor. In this case, the red runner rug is really the only pop of color aside from the floating shelves and smaller pieces of decor scattered throughout the room. Starting your room with a simple color scheme like this gives you a lot of freedom in incorporating color in rugs and other decor.
Faux-tile rugs like the one shown here from Spicher and Company can draw back to vintage styles in a classy way. Aside from the pattern, this particular rug is vinyl, which is easy to clean and maintain in the kitchen. Be sure to consider the rug's material and the level of maintenance it needs when selecting your perfect area rug.

In all likelihood, your kitchen's red runner rug won't just feature red. Like this rug, you may have other colors like cream and off-white. The rug can serve as the foundation of the entire room's color scheme and guide you towards what other colors to use in your kitchen. For example, the soft creams of this rug tie back perfectly to the warm wood tones of the countertops while the rug's minor black accents tie to the nearby island.
Even if you want to create a light and bright kitchen, you can still play with dark accents and contrast. This kitchen only has one dark feature: the pendant lights above the island. Even if they are the only dark accent, they dramatically impact the space and draw it into the modern day. If that is not enough impact for you, you could also consider a black runner rug, dark drawer pulls, and dark wall decor.
Vintage, modern, traditional, boho, tribal--whatever your aesthetic, red can be a great primary color or accent color in your kitchen. This color can be presented in many different shades, patterns, materials, and fixtures to reinforce the color scheme as boldly or as subtly as you choose. With the red kitchen ideas shown above, you now have plenty of inspiration, guidance, and ideas on how to incorporate this stunning color into your kitchen.
