How to Decorate With a Red Lacquer Desk

Paint the walls in the room to accentuate the shiny red surface of the desk. Use a sage green to create a peaceful space to showcase your desk.

Hang cream sheers over windows using black iron hardware. The sheers will keep the space bright and provide space for the eye to rest.

Lay a large oriental area rug in the center of the room. The rug will feature red, black and green elements in the design.

Place the red lacquer desk in front of the windows in a living room or in the center of the rug in a home office.

Use a rattan or black wood office chair to complement the desk color and Asian style.

Build or paint existing bookshelves near the desk a rich cream color. This color will brighten the sage green walls and coordinate with the red lacquer desk.

Accessorize the bookshelf with black, sage green and cream items with Asian influences. Use some highly ornate oriental paper boxes to tie the carpet in to the wall decor.

Top the desk with a black metal desk lamp and a sage green glass vase. Keep the desktop decor minimal to allow the desk itself to be the focus.

Fill a living room space with an overstuffed cream sofa and side chair. Place a few sage green or pillows with Asian designs. Add one bright red pillow on the sofa as well to tie in the desk color.

Complete the space with dark rattan, oriental carvings and green jade statues to layer the color palette throughout the room.
