Converse Red

Decorate with red .....

Red brings a certain energy to a room.

Research has shown that red stimulates conversation and appetite and this is what a fabulous choice for the dining room. I like to see a dramatic red dining room ... it makes me feel like Colonization and lingers on a delicious meal and lively conversation! Red walls appear to stimulate the conversation of those who hang around the table.

Red rooms convey a sense of intimacy, making it an excellent choice of red, not only for dining but also for the rooms.

Red in a room invites romance and passion! A whole room red can be too much for some, however, adding touches of red with accessories such as artwork, picture frames, vases and cushions can go a long way to spice things up a bit. If the red walls are a bit too risky for you to consider then why not consider red and white bedding. Feel the power and romance of the red, but when it is mixed with white light and the feeling will be fresh. Add a few red candles, red roses and you have yourself the beginnings of a romantic getaway.

The red is a bright ... it is said "look at me" ... it draws attention to itself ... making it the ideal choice for focal areas you want to attract attention. Imagine the beautiful red silk drapery panels framing a window affording a magnificent view, a collection of vases or candlesticks red on the mantelpiece, or a bright red box in the lobby, all are perfect examples of the addition of the bold red and not feel out of balance.

Red is also the perfect choice to bring a monochromatic room rather quiet life. Textured red velvet, chenille and silk pillows on a sofa cream very pop and a red light on the table in the corner connects all of a sudden this corner with the rest of the room.

Spice up your table with red accents dishes and glassware. Add a collection of red boxes in your desk. If red is not a color that you want to use every day, then look for cheap items, you can use from time to time. Items such as cloth towels, paper tasteful, coasters, napkin rings, or even a table runner. These elements can be mixed with many other colors to add meaning to your next get strong together. And if it's a romantic dinner for two you're cooking up dispersal of red rose petals around the table and pour a little red wine!

Where can you see red?
