Create a modern look by using cherry red in a color block effect with contrasting wall colors. Combine a rich cherry red with crisp white or soft beige for a clean, balanced aesthetic, or go bold with a deep blue or charcoal gray for a dramatic touch. You can also divide your wall into two sections by painting just the bottom or top half a bold color. Consider sealing your painter's tape to ensure clean lines and give the design an elegant and intentional look.
Combine patterns with a touch of cherry

Cherry can have a more romantic appeal if you incorporate it through pattern and mix nuances of the hue rather than relying on a bold, single hue. An easy way to introduce pattern is with wallpaper, which can be complemented with matching accents in the same shade to create a unified look. Consider the impact of the wallpaper design – small patterns make a room feel more open and airy, while large patterns can create a feeling of intimacy. You can commit to traditional wallpaper or try out the look with removable wallpaper first.
Choose a funky red accent chair to create the drama

These pieces perfectly complement mid-century modern decor aesthetics, with their elegant retro design and striking color creating a stunning combination.
