Red Done Right!


It's everywhere!  There are touches of red and pink for Valentines Day promoting love and romance.  How about a little romance at home? When red is done right it's darn right romantic! Red is a tricky little color. The wrong red used with the wrong colors can leave a room looking off balance and a bit I dare say "garish".  However when the real depth of red is used or a lovely counter part such as pink with colors such as black, turquoise, deep yellow,  lively green, or blue, watch out you have a winner.
Here a few ways that red was used just right. How would you add red to a room for that "wow" factor? Have a great weekend everyone!

Cant fine my source from Pinterest! Love this whomever this belongs too!

    I agree 100% on your thoughts on red. Very tricky to be done right. These shots are fantastic! Hope you are doing well!

    Think I could see adding touches of red vs. having an entire room of red, I prefer calm settling spaces, but have to say your beautiful post could certainly make me rethink things......have a great rest of the weekend.

    Yes, it really can be hard to get it right. I think I like touches of red the best. Maybe it's because I have had a red dining room for way too many years now. I used to really love it but have grown tired of it over the years.

    I like red and wear it often. I also have red accents in my predominately neutral home. i think red is a color that just a little goes a long way.

    I love pops of red. I once had a red kitchen that I LOVED! But needed a completely remodel and lost my red. sad:(....So I did one of my rooms in gray and added pops of red. Have you ever tried to get the painting color of red that you want??? That's a tough one!

    I've always had a hard time living with red. I'm trying to incorporate it in my home with fresh flowers and small accents in fabric. So far so good....I always know when I've crossed the line! Funny thing, I've always enjoyed it in other people's homes. Go figure!

    Eye catching images, Karolyn. The red definitely makes the spaces pop! I'm not a big red person but I have a couple of well placed red vases that add a twist. Great post! Happy Monday! xx
