The 4th of July is right around the corner and this is our inspiration to decorate with a red, white and blue color palette! Although it is a patriotic color palette, the primary colors of red and blue work well together and are pleasing to the eye. The warm red with the cool blue are complimentary colors and the white seems to break things up a little. There are many ways to make this patriotic color palette work without having to place stars and stripes everywhere. However, if stars and stripes is your thing, then let’s not make it tacky, shall we? Here are some rooms that are tastefully decorated in red, white and blue both traditional and contemporary.

Create a relaxing sanctuary right in your own bedroom! We think these bedrooms have great style and here’s why!
If you like a calm and neutral palette this might be your style! Despite the neutral palette, however, this bedroom still screams luxury! The understated luxurious decor of this room combines affordable antiques with more expensive furniture pieces. When working with neutrals, incorporate bedding, rugs, throw pillows, paint and accent furniture with colors from the same color family. Make sure to keep the bed as the focal point.
Love the contrast of the warm chocolate walls against the white! This design is crisp, clean and fresh! Once again, the bed is the focal point with the interesting headboard and the white linens. The drapery adds a sense of drama yet also provides privacy. The chandelier adds interest and softens the room.
Both of these bedroom are both eclectic and bold! The use of bright colors and the mix of interesting furniture keeps these rooms fun and interesting. To keep the room unified, use at least one color that is constant throughout the room.
