Be InspiRED by passionate reds

RED is a sizzling color full of symbolic meanings and many hues. Whether you prefer scarlet, crimson, maroon, ruby, rose or tomato, there is a shade for everyone.

Red creates the perfect accent for any space when paired with timeless neutrals like brown or cream.

In the 18th century red garlands and scarves were part of cultural wedding ceremonies. Chinese brides wore a traditional Kwa; a heavily embroidered formal wedding gown in red and Greek brides wore red veils, which is still customary today.

In ancient history, wearing a red painted amulet, ruby or garnet supposedly made one invincible. Red signifies love, fertility, strength, good fortune, and happiness. We often see red front doors on the outside of homes across America, instilling the influence of Feng Shui.

I adore this paper and red was my pick but the creme works better in my space. Problem is, the place I tried to purchase it from no longer can get it from the vendor. I located someone who could get it for me and the price is up almost $30 a roll ($72) and this is almost cost prohibitive!

That is fantastic! I know what you mean when you say you try to squeeze in a red room....it is always an inviting room to be in. I read a book about a famous interior designer who always put a red room in every home he designed. The owners loved it and it sort of became a signature room of his style.
The first client said he was going to hate it and ended up loving it and that is what started the whole trend. Most people can't imagine what it will be like until they are enveloped with a beautiful room of red and experience for themselves.
Enjoy.
