Fun, Vibrant & Stylish

While I am not a huge fan of the color red, I like it in doses.  To me, the color red means fun.  Some ways to inject fun into your home?  Take a piece of furniture (like a chair),  paint it red and what you'll end up with is a fun, vibrant and stylish piece that speaks volumes. If red scares you, you might want to stick to a simple red and white color palette.  You can't go wrong with such a classic color combo.   Think Hermes 'Balcon du Guadalquivir' plates.  Check out some of my favorite 'red' pieces:

So, is red for you or no?

  1. No, I'm not....but I love these images. I think I am just in a non-red stage. I just feel like it steals all the attention in a room...which right now I just need calming spaces. My boys are loud enough!

  2. Oh yes, every room needs a little red! My aunt loves red, she always has a red room in her house, this time it is the kitchen, she knew her husband was a keeper when she went to his house and saw that he had a red kitchen :)

  3. I used to LOVE red but I have gotten away from it. I think I need a dose of it going into fall.

  4. A couple years ago I purged all the red from my house, and I think Julie has a point: my boys are loud enough! Right now the only red I have is in my cookware. But I've been considering adding a touch of red for fall.

    AWESOME images! Love all the red chairs.

  5. I LOVE red. In small doses. If it isn't done yet, though, I hate it. What a fine line. Red and cranberry walls are passe, but fun punches of it are totally cute. I was thinking of painting a crib glossy red for a future nursery the other day when I saw a pic of it somewhere...

  6. Not really a red girl. But I do like the idea of just a wood chair in red. Like a nice pair of red pumps with a neutral outfit.

  7. I actually miss red. Love the richness that a "touch" of red adds.
