With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, take a cue from the color of love. Decorating with red can be intimidating since it is such a bold color but when red is used correctly, it commands positive attention from those who enter a room. Whether you choose to add red just for February 14th or for the new year, here are some tips to add the color into your design.

Start Small

Think pillows, candles, and pictures frames as baby steps. Little pops of color do make a big difference.

Paint the Town Red

If you are truly inspired, think about painting your walls red. Make sure the room is an open space because red tends to make rooms appear smaller. Another unique look could be to paint one wall red. This would work behind a fireplace, really making the fireplace and the mantel features pop.
