A Touch of Red

Years ago I would have told you that my least favorite color to decorate with was red. And up until recently, I was hard pressed to use it in abundance in any other spaces than a kids room or perhaps a family room (like the one above, which we did years ago!). However, lately I’ve been falling for red – both in design and fashion. I’ve never shied away from it in my wardrobe, but even more so right now I’ve been drawn to it – from deeper wines to bright, fiery tones. I even added a new red color way to my bedding collection because I could not find a perfect red!

I’ve been growing to like it more over the years it seems, a couple years ago we did this study in which we painted all the paneling a deep true red and papered the walls in a grasscloth for contrast. A hint of blue in the roman shades is a great complement (as you can tell, adding blue with red is one of my favorite pairings).

And of course, Henry’s old room, which I still love so much had a great dose of red.

So we’ll see if any clients let me run with my newfound love of red in 2025! In the meantime, some red finds for your closet and home:
