If red and green make you think of garish Christmas decorations, it's time to reconsider. Used correctly, these unexpectedly complementary colors create the most luxe and memorable interiors possible. Candice Bergen's '70s living room is the perfect example.
Photographs of the actress's house from 1971 show the color opposites working together harmoniously. It features red walls, green stained glass windows, and green sofas. The rug is red. She ties the colors together with a variety of natural textures, including a stone fireplace and wooden panelling. Soft furnishings create a plush, rich feel in the room. Overall, the effect is that of an incredibly expensive living room color palette.
