We're nearing the time of year when, after a brief hiatus following holiday excess, red reappears front and center. It seems there are clear camps regarding red: those willing to use it in their home, and those who can appreciate it in others'.
I'm a member of the former, but I prefer to keep it in small, somewhat unexpected doses.

Sofa = a little too bordelo, but the chandy in an otherwise understated setting could be magical.
Anyone see anything unworthy of our respect here?
No, didn't think so.

The striped chair makes me smile.
Given the choice of redness today, though, I'd have to vote for a glossy Thonet.

Specifically, the new, "twist" on the original.
I'm a decorator, wife, and busy mom of three. I believe in elevating the average space, and bridging the great design divide. I love homes, and aspire beyond builder-grade blah. This blog chronicles our own home projects, what inspires me, and sometimes, just what's on my design-track mind. Taking ordinary homes to higher levels is my little happy place.

Just painted the interior side of my front doors red. It's the only shot of color in the entry, and I LOVE it.
A famous designer (I can't remember who) said there should always be one red item in a room.
I agree.
A little red goes a long way and I adore those thonet chairs as well- gorgeous. And couldn't agree more about that space with the ikat chairs- absolutely love it! Great post! xo
I don't know if its that Valentine's Day is around the corner or what, but I am loving pops of red. These are fantastic examples!
Pops of red = yes please! Walls of red = um... NO. Love the table in the first shot, and the chairs too!
Gorgeous....I adore a touch -- or two! -- of slick scarlet ;)

Red is one of my favorite colors, and in addition to deep red walls in my very small hall, I have little bits of red in every room of my house. Just bits! Karin
LOVE the pops of red!
Too much red makes me a little anxious in a room, but I love a pop of it here and there.
Red is such a powerful color. It adds so much to a space. I've always wanted a red wall in my home.

We have a more watermelon red couch that I laaahhffff. SO I am in the former as well. Sometimes red makes me itch though. NOt like literally as in a rash, like when used sometimes inappropriately in homes. LIke a red dining room kind of gives me the sads. I think I sound like I have aspergers. Sorry about that.
I've been off red for a few years (it had long been a favorite color of mine) but I'm definitely coming back around. That striped modern wingback is TO DIE FOR.
love that red mirror against that blue cabinet. Makes me feel so alive!! I keep vacilating between red and dark pink. I know you can mix them... but it's not happening in my home right now.
My husband quote's Anita's source - he says there should be something red in every room! You've made my day here - so beautiful. So NOT Restoration Hardware! I think I"m going to get my paints out and find something RED to paint!
