Red Soft Seating

What red soft seating says about a space

Red is a powerful, attention-grabbing colour associated with energy, warmth and confidence, which makes it a strong choice for reception areas that need to leave an impression, hospitality venues, sports and leisure settings and bold brand-led offices. Deeper burgundy and wine tones bring gravitas and a classic, executive feel, while brighter pillar-box reds add vibrancy and impact. This range of around 88 pieces lets you use red as a statement centrepiece or a punchy accent.

Using red effectively in a scheme

Because red is so dominant, restraint pays off. Pairing it with grey, black or timber grounds the colour and keeps a room feeling considered rather than overwhelming. Deeper reds suit traditional and executive interiors; brighter reds work best as accents in modern, minimalist spaces. In high-traffic public areas, choose fade-resistant contract fabric to keep the colour rich, and reserve the boldest shades for feature pieces rather than whole suites.

• Use burgundy and wine tones for a classic, executive feel
