Decorating a red room - any suggestions?

DH and I painted the second bedroom/office Chili pepper red by BM with whiet moldings. It is a beautiful dark red color with brown undertones (not fire engine at all), but I am torn on what other colors to use to decorate it. The rest of our co-op is navajo white, rockies brown, and dry sage by BM and we have a very west elm sort of design taste. Any suggestions or pics would help!

TIA!!

Check out my photo album. We painted our living room red and used various shades of red and tan accents throughout. We also have navajo white (bathroom) and sage (bedroom).

First of all, beautiful decorating!

And secondly, I love reds with tans, browns, and beiges.

Thanks Chat Icon It's Benjamin Moore Raspberry Truffle. The BM paint covered everything so well (we originally tried a Behr paint that was a disaster).

Thank you so much for the info! I think my new dining room may need some BM raspberry truffle!
