Red and aqua green: two opposite colors that attract each other

Among the countless shades of green, aqua green is the most soothing. “It brings the feeling of refuge, protection. For those who want to decorate the house using feng shui techniques, this tone, like all the green nuances, are suitable for the family area”, says specialist in the subject and interior designer Mon Liu, who is also a landscaper.

The partnership with the stimulant red, its opposite color in the color spectrum, generates a pleasant sensation. Because both are complementary. “Imagine a hall with water-green straw wallpaper and a red sculpture at the front, if possible with scenic lighting”, suggests Mon Liu.

The sophisticated and oriental-inspired combination works for bedspreads, cushions, vases, paintings and other decorative objects. A bamboo arrangement with red flowers, water-green bottles interspersed with red ones. “According to feng shui, beaded curtains and rugs with abstract designs in these two tones stimulate creativity.

Complementary forces
In this way, red enters with warmth and joy, and aqua green, with freshness and lightness. “Painting only one wall in the kitchen with a more orange, more open red is interesting”, suggests Erica. The most burnt and vibrant can be reserved for the living room or bedroom of the resident with the most daring personality.
