Rich red rooms are timely with Valentine’s Day looming large on the horizon. Of course I’m not suggesting you turn your house into the inside of a heart shaped candy box, rather, I like choosing some key red accessories that add energy and pop.
I could use Feng Shui principles to tempt you into incorporating red into your house, but I doubt I need to go that far. A few pretty red decorative objects can sell themselves!
As Valentine’s Day falls over the winter, the color red is a wonderful accent color because it has an energetic and warming quality. Red, in conjunction with a roaring fire may be all you need to create a romantic mood this season.
If you don’t have a wood burning fireplace, why not consider a portable, traditional style electric fireplace. You may not get the classic crackle, but it’s a good option.
From cozy throws and pillows to red glass table lamps and shades, using the color red in your home can be a delicious design direction for any season.
1. This cherry polished nickel pendant by Uttermost is a cheerful pop of color in a kitchen, especially over an island.
2. The Koncept matte red LED floor lamp is a slender and contemporary version of the classic library floor lamp.
3. I like the zippy red design of this Kathy Ireland ivory and red pillow which would update a neutral sofa, chair or bed.
4. The Kylie red stackable cube table can be moved around the house wherever you need extra surface space and a touch of drama.
5. Need something new on a nightstand or end table? The Splash Collection red ceramic rectangular table lamp could be just what you need.
