Garnet red: where does this colour come from and what does it convey?

Garnet colour, more specifically called garnet red, is a very intense shade of red, somewhere between burgundy and amaranth. The name of this colour derives, as is easily deduced, from the colouring of the kernels of the pomegranate fruit. Garnet is a warm, enveloping colour, linked to nature in a special way precisely because of its connection to the aforementioned fruit. Garnet colour conveys passion and great energy.

Garnet red in interior design

Thanks to the strength and warmth this colour conveys, garnet red makes every room in the home cosy and comfortable. In relation to the combinations that are created, the colour garnet is perfect for both elegant and modern combinations, as well as in more traditional, contemporary and even eclectic contexts. To avoid making a living space cramped or gloomy with the colour garnet, it is best to have well-lit rooms (of artificial light) and bright rooms (of natural light).

Garnet red goes well with neutral camel, trendy navy blue, neutral grey, which is very trendy in interior design, intense brown, bright white, energetic yellow, purple and red.

Garnet in the living area

In the living area, garnet conveys charm and sophistication. In modern living rooms, the most popular and trendy combination is with white, for an original and at the same time eye-catching contrast.
