Paint the Town Red!

When it comes to interiors and decor, red can be a very powerful and beautiful color. Red Rooms have their place in history as well. The Red Room at the White House is one of the most photographed spaces of the president's residence and often used to entertain in more informal settings.

While not for the faint of heart, painting a room red can result in gorgeous rooms with an unparalleled warmth.

Maybe you are looking to incorporate red into your home decor without painting the walls of a room. As Red is a powerful color, a little bit does go a long way. The images below show red used in the accents of a room. Try a red velvet sofa, throw pillows, or even a red bookshelf.
