Oh what a little red will do! Red is a year-round color to decorate with, not just at Christmas time. It’s a great way to infuse energy in your home.
If you want to use red in your home decor you will love the ideas in these rooms. If you’re afraid of the thought of decorating with red I hope these ideas help you. Through the years I’ve used red full on in rooms and I’ve used touches of red as accents both with wonderful results.
I think I love red because like blue, it’s a color of many moods.
A little more about the color red:
Red has been called the most memorable color on the planet. It’s the color of energy, action and exploration. Red is brilliantly bold, romantic, and the color of life. If you love red like I do you’re supposed to be extroverted and optimistic, courageous and confident.
Some people are afraid of the thought of red but I hope you’ll agree – Red can be so beautiful in a room.
Whatever your relationship with red, Here are some great ideas for using red in every room in the house.
