Color Spotlight: Dark Cherry Is An Alluring Red

A deep red with pink undertones, dark cherry is a luxurious hue that commands your attention.

Drench your walls or cabinets in this rich shade for a sophisticated vibe, or add elegance with just a hit — think a velvet dining chair, matte bowl, sculptural stool or whimsical wallpaper. Dark cherry looks great with off-whites and soft pinks or, for a bolder, more unexpected look, pair it with ochre. Designed by Palmer Weiss Interior Design, this home bar is opulent in dark cherry. Glass-fronted cabinets backed with a coordinating wallpaper bring visual interest while the marble counter and warm metal hardware add to the luxe aesthetic.
