Today has always been synonymous with the color red. Traditionally, we never jump to this color when looking for inspiration. However, our minds have been changed with the below beauty. Here are a few chic ways to use red.
On your walls!
Using it as a wall lacquer in a dining room is unexpected. Especially when paired with traditional pieces and simple ivory window treatments. Red wallpaper is a classic and looks amazing in Mark Sike's dining space at Kips Bay. Similarly, a red dot wallpaper perks up this adorable children's bathroom.
As accessories!
Monograms are a must of course! Why not make a statement with yours by doing it in the color red. How amazing are the above towels in a bathroom by Ashley Whitaker? A classic asian inspired red lantern turns an ordinary entry into a conversation piece. Lanterns are always a great way to add color to any space. Keeping on the same page with lighting... why not use red lamp shades? The bare bulb look of the past few years is over and custom lampshades are making a come back. Red is such a fun color to use to perk up your lifeless chandelier.
As furniture!
A skirted table is a great way to add color and warmth to a space. Christopher Maya does so above using a beautiful red fabric paired with a light blue tape. A red upholstered sofa looks amazing in a NYC apartment. Lastly, lacquered cabinetry in red really define the above space. How amazing does that detail make this dining room look?!
We hope this makes you re-think red!
Happy Valentines Day!
