Cherry red has been the color in everyone’s homes this year. From Pinterest Predicts naming it as one of 2025’s biggest color trends, to the shade appearing across SS25 furniture designs, it’s practically a modern staple.
An archival image of Doris Day’s living room in 1950 is a masterclass in decorating with red, 75 years before it went viral. Her space pairs a cherry red sofa with soft blue walls, making each shade stand out all the more. They are the perfect complements to one another. Though it’s from another era, the combination feels distinctly modern.
