Use a neutral color to make your red sheets stand out in your room.
Red sheets provide a vibrant pop of color against certain colors. This color also symbolizes love and passion, making it a natural choice for the color of your bed. Whether you want the red color of the sheets to be the focal point of the room or to be part of a cohesive color palette, several colors are available to achieve your goal.
White
A white backdrop makes any bright color stand out. Red sheets and white walls make a natural combination because the white helps to balance out the deep red color of your sheets. If the color of your red sheets has a sheen, add a glossy finish to your white paint to reflect a similar sheen.
Black
Black will help make the red sheets a focal point in your room because of the high contrast between the black and red colors. Black and red make a room feel more intimate and the red will pop against the dark, solid background.
Blue
Blue and red are both primary colors and using them in combination will provide a high contrast. Try to match the intensity of the colors. For example, use a primary blue wall color if the sheets are a primary red. If the sheets have more of a scarlet hue, opt instead for a turquoise blue.
Pink
Pink walls add a romantic touch in combination with red sheets. A light rose color will add a subdued color to help balance out the bright red sheets.
Red
Red sheets propped on a bed near a red wall may seem like too much red in one room. However, the trick is to use a different red color on the walls than the color of the sheets. This treatment will create a monochromatic look with different shades of red. Use a Moroccan red, which has slight purple accents, against sheets that are a lattice red. A brick or rust color can be used in combination with primary red sheets.
Purple
Purple is next to red on the color wheel and provides a natural transition between the red color of the sheets and the purple wall color. Purple will also make the room seem larger. Red and purple can both be part of jewel tones, so they can work together harmoniously.
Yellow
Yellow will provide a similar high contrast as blue because it is also a primary color like red. However, a light yellow tone will help to add brightness to the room when paired with red sheets. The red will provide the deep accent color while yellow will help keep the room looking bright and fresh.
Green
Red and green are across from each other on the color wheel so they are complementary in nature. The green colors also adds a feeling of nature to the room and helps to tame the vibrant color of the red sheets.
