Roses are red, violets are blue. If you love bold color, then this post is for you! We’re pulling out the color RED from the Color Files today…just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Red is a undoubtedly a bold choice when it comes to color. It can be a powerful decorating statement. It’s notoriously tricky to get it right. Chances are, you’ve either seen a really bad example of red decor or you’ve had to paint over it. However, when you do get red right, it is absolutely vivid. I’m happy to share a handful of lovely reds today. Enjoy the inspiration!

What about you? Do you use any red in your decor? Tell me about it, if you do, what is your best red paint for you home?! Is it indoors or out? Did you put it on a large wall as a focal point, or use it in accent pieces? Do you wish you were brave enough to use more of it?
