Room Love with RED

I certainly hope you enjoyed your weekend.  Can you believe it's already the 'Month of Love'?  In honor of this, let's just dive right in with some beautiful red rooms and ideas to inspire us...shall we?

I love these deep red walls up against this white trim.

What a great way to add in some red without it being too bold in the room.  

Here is an all-time Tobi favorite...love the red, white and black here.  Very classy!


One more Tobi classic...don't you just adore these red frames...what a great idea to 'pop' some RED!  

How does this mix of pattern grab you in this incredible living room by world renowned John Stefanidis?

Red accents with chocolate brown...beautiful.  Reminds me of Chocolate Covered Cherries - my fave when I splurge! Ha! (Don't have a clue why I thought of that this morning - I must NEED some today!!!)

Got my eye on a pineapple table myself...oh, red, yes that is what we are talking about...onward please! This rug - gorgeous in red...and I really like the trim on the window shade.

What a really clever idea to add in a little more color...what are your thoughts?  Like? (This was also in the photo above - did you see it?)

Very striking.  Love this part of that room too!



How simple this would be...change to some RED lampshades...and add a couple of RED pillows....Ta-Da!  Great look here!

Lots of red added in to this decor...but check out that artwork in the far left corner....pretty easy idea (for all of you DIY'ers out there!), right?

What a GREAT way to make a statement in red this month...load your bookcase with RED books...or make red book covers for the books you may already have. 

Simple "pops" of red

Hum, looks like a spot I'd enjoy.  I love the red with all this white in here...how 'bout you?

Or maybe some stunning wallpaper...yes please!  

So now....what is YOUR take on RED in the home?  Do you have a red room?  We'd love to know!  There are many simple ways we can bring in a little RED this month...how about YOU...what will you do?

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Red, White and Blue...for the Inside

I hope you all had a nice weekend and are gearing up for the 4th.  Last week we talked about red, white and blue for the outdoor celebrations...however, this color scheme has also made it's way into many home's interior design as well.  Today we'll take a look at some of these inspiring patriotic-colors and how they can be used throughout the year...and for this post, I chose mostly coastal inspirations since many of us may be heading out to the beach to celebrate the upcoming holiday.

Of course I am going to start with a design that just "calls" ME...not because of the color or style...but because of WHERE it is and this incredible VIEW!  Yes, I definitely am a true "beach-girl".  Isn't this a fun design though...with the blues interjected in from nature with the ocean view?  I really do love it!

Here is a great mix of pattern using this same color scheme.  Can you see how the red always dominates the space?  That is why it's a good idea to just accent in red...unless of course, you want that dramatic punch of red to overtake the room.  Below is a good example of what I mean by this...

It is definitely bold...but I love it.  Pairing this color with all the white cabinetry does help to tone it down a bit. You can see that the blues were the accent in this one.

Speaking of vintage...don't you love how they re-purposed these pieces with differing shades of blue to be used in the same room.  The reds are accents, as well as being blended into the rug which grounds all the colors together. 

Another great use of these patriotic colors

How about popping the architectural elements in a room by painting them navy...do you like or dislike?  Then, the floor is also accented with painted stripes.  Adding to that a bit of accent in red makes this another great look...not just for the 4th but every day of the year.  The accent pieces can be pillows, furniture, candles, flowers...it doesn't have to be a lot of red to make it "work". 

And now we'll take the "look" back to the outside with this...

Incredible...red roof, white house and blue OCEAN...how's that for a display of our patriotic colors?  It sure got MY attention!

Have a blessed Monday!
