So Bright Red Isn’t Just for Lipstick and Mid-Life Crisis Sports Cars…

Here is one color that I never expected to love for home interiors: bright red.


I usually gravitate to blues and greens. Pale yellow is my neutral of choice. I have fairly traditional taste, and bright pops of color have only just started to sneak into my decorating fantasies…


Bright red wouldn’t be the first rogue color preference to surprise me, but I’ve been seeing it everywhere lately.


It’s probably the hint of orange that gives this hue a very classic feel. The shiny enamel effect says chinoiserie to me. It looks rich. And it would easily fit in with my current design aesthetic if paired with the right design.


Okay – so that last one is a little out there for me. But I do like it…expanding my horizons maybe?

Wallpaper on Furniture

I’ve had this picture in my files for a while. Thought I might do a post on blue rooms.

But today I came across the designer, Bryonie Porter’s site (and I can’t for the life of me retrieve the source…sorry!). Here are some other great pieces.





Either of the two grey ones with flowers would look great in a white room.
