I like red but I’ve always found it hard to live with for very long. But then again, I move furniture almost weekly. =) Blessings… Polly

These rooms are gorgeous! I’ve always been a bit shy of using red, thinking it will be too overwhelming. Happy to re-think it now.
I lurves me some red! Cute pictures.

red is my favorite. i gravitate towards it for everything….clothes, shoes, decor, paint…everything.
love every one of these rooms. that red kitchen is awesome!
I also love red. I have two red couches in my family room and never tire of them. I have red cabinets in another room and a touch of red in almost every bedroom. Red makes me feel warm and loved. I enjoyed all your red pics. Loved the bombe chest! Thanks

Be Mindful…..I spent the day painting one wall in my bedroom red…beware that red paint takes many many coats of paint…that’s many many many….But it looks wonderful and I’m excited that I found two adorable little red bedside tables at IKEA that just go perfect….Red is my signature color!!

I love using red in rooms. I used red as the accent color in my kitchen and painted my guest bathroom red. The color in the bathroom looks gorgeous, but always photographs orangish because of the incandescent bulbs. I need to work on my photography

Oh and a tip for those who want to paint walls red. Use a gray tinted primer first, 2 coats preferably. It takes a bit more work and coats of paint, but it is worth it for the perfect red room.

gorgeous pictures! the kitchen looks amazing!!! thanks for sharing!
One day I hope to have a red dining room, but I think you need really high ceilings to carry off the effect well. But I love the pictures you’ve used as inspiration!

My kitchen is red below the chair rail. It is Benjamin Moore Burnt Peanut Red. I repainted the kitchen, but just gave the red a fresh coat. I love it!

Great pictures! Some really unique uses of red there.
Gorgeous! We have one deep rusty red wall in our family room and just love it!

Red is my favorite color so it is no surprise I love all of these ideas but one. Toile in red and white does nothing for me.
