Decorating with primary colors is a classic combination, yet not many people gravitate towards them. They expect that a pairing of red, blue, and yellow might be too overwhelming or too juvenile; an archival image of Marlon Brando's bedroom proves them wrong.
The photograph shows the A Streetcar Named Desire actor in 1955, perched on a blue armchair in his bedroom. It's a masterclass in decorating with primary colors. Behind the blue chair, he has layred his blue sofa bed high with red and yellow cushions. A blue painting looks down on him from behind the bed, and a ruffled red lamp adds a final pop of the romantic shade.
