One of the hottest color trends for home interiors at present is one that really knows how to work a room. It's fiery, it's passionate, it's aggressive.....it's RED. I have wanted to do this blog for a few months but wanted to distance it from Christmas so red will be given it's due and not be pushed aside like the tinsel, ornaments, and poinsettias.This blog post is especially geared towards red furniture and how a room will come alive with just a small infusion of it by way of furniture pops.
There are so many reds to choose from and depending on the shade an interior can feel old world, rustic, or contemporary. Homeowners are displaying an appetite for color and drama in their interiors. Red statement furniture pieces will certainly give them that!
If you are considering a furniture update, maybe it's time to rethink red !!
