But how can you use these colors in a sophisticated way without having your home look like a big flag? Try these pro tips!

Be Art Smart

Use gorgeous modern art that features red, white, and blue in an abstract way. That allows you showcase these compatible colors without the kitsch. In the space above, you can see that the decor is mostly blue and white, with the art and the book covers adding those notes of red.

One Star

Let one color be the star of the space, like the bold red custom sofa I had designed for my clients in the photo above. It is so beautiful against the white walls, and those blue accent pillows really bring it all together.

Speak with an Accent

For some, a lot of red is hard to take. But that color is so perfect against crisp white and lovely blue. So use red as an accent color. It adds a bit of drama and boldness without being too overwhelming for the eye. As you can see above, it makes a statement without making too much noise!

Lead with Stripes

Did you know that stripes are the most popular pattern for interiors? They are a classic and timeless look. To add a little more of that patriotic spirit to your spaces, try some lovely blue-and-white stripes, like in the rug I used above. Or you can be a bit more bold, like in the striped draperies below.
