This page covers the Emotion classic bedroom collection, which made red its signature as the colour of passion and energy, and how to bring that colour into a bedroom today with three Francesco Pasi pieces. Colour goes on fabric; wood and lacquer stay calm.

Where should strong colour go in a classic bedroom?

Put strong colour on upholstery and keep it off large wooden surfaces. That way it can change later without replacing furniture. Emotion took the opposite route and made red its signature, the colour of energy, ambition and passion.

The New Deco Bench in Fabric by Francesco Pasi suits this role: a solid cherry frame with fabric upholstery, at the foot of the bed.

Which bed works with a coloured scheme?

An upholstered headboard ties the bed into a fabric-led scheme. The Opera Bed 3071 by Francesco Pasi has an upholstered headboard on a solid wood structure 80 mm thick.

In 100 Gloss Ebony or Taupe it gives a dark ground for saturated textiles. Other high end bedroom furniture sets follow the same idea.

How large is the matching wardrobe?

The Gran Guardia Wardrobe, 2 Sliding Doors, Wood Panels, by Francesco Pasi measures H 250 x W 244 x D 67 cm. Its sliding doors suit bedrooms where hinged doors would hit the bed.

Its carving is made entirely by hand in solid cherry, and the sliding doors keep the floor in front free for a rug or the bench. More carved cabinetry is in our classic furniture section.
