Red and green

Red and green are complementary colors, and that is usually a combination that interior designers tend to avoid: it is really hard to combine them, without having one overstepping the other. But this odd combo is making a come-back into the home décor trends: if you choose fairly dark shades like a bottle green and a deep intense red, the result will be very appealing. Marble is a material that naturally offers a variety of shades for these two colors, and its nervures create beautiful optical effects, that help the two shades to go together well.
