We all have colours we are attracted to or not so fond of. Sometimes we like colours in one application and not in another. That is the fate of red in my life. I love splashes of red in clothing and textiles, but it is never a colour that pops into my head when I think about colours I love for walls or furniture. Red is so difficult to ignore because of its warmth and saturation, it doesn't fit with my need for calmness and relaxation in my home. While there's no red where I live, I've developed colour schemes around it for clients. There's nothing like it for that pop of excitement.
Live on the wild side! Bedding is a great place to push the colour envelope. If you tire of your moment of adventure, it can be rectified without too much cost. If the bold stripes you loved end up being too much to wake up to every morning, consider recycling the sheets into pillow covers, a cloth bag, a table runner etc.

Red makes a fantastic accent colour that can often be linked together with painted furniture, cushions, red patterned draperies, lamps, etc. I've noticed red with lighter blues in design sources lately. It makes an interesting combination.

This is another interesting combination with red- more green than blue. The use of beige calms the overall feeling of the room.

If you don't want to commit to four red walls, red makes a splashy accent statement. Look for some aspect of your room that you want to emphasize, and go for it. The sparing use of red in this design is a good example of this principle in action.
I'm sure the art work was the inspiration for the use of this soft coral red. The design follows the principle of moving a colour around the room in varying proportions to create good visual flow.

Red is always a knock out look with lots of white and a splash of black. High contrast does it every time.
If you want to paint a whole room red but you're afraid to dive into four large walls in a bedroom or kitchen, consider using it in transition spaces like a porch or in a bathroom.

But some people just go for it! This is the ultimate commitment to red. The owners won't be changing their mind about this room anytime soon.
