Once we get past all the blues (with white, with yellow, with anything), I gravitate toward reds in my decor. My living and dining rooms are predominantly reds - anchored by traditional Chinese rugs.

There are many shades of red depending on the blue or yellow added to the primary color. One source I found suggests the following "best matches" - some very interesting ideas:
Tomato - with pale olive or creams or cerulean or cobalt blue
Fire engine - with grayish mauve or plum or dusty apple green or white
Cranberry - with moss or burnt orange or sage or silver gray
Brick - with cool pink or greenish brown or deep bruised purple
Strawberry - with mocha or caffe latte or pistachio or cream
Cherry - with funnel green, milky white or deep burgundy.

My Living Room (with Yellow, of course)

I have refurbished MANY wonderful pieces of furniture in reds and continue to buy great fabrics to use for the next rounds. I have acquired some great ones that I will be using in the very near future.
