With Valentine's Day on it's way, it made me think about using red in home decor, especially drapery.
People tend to stay away from red in drapery because it can be a little overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.
Take a look at some different ways to tastefully incorporate red into window coverings.
It makes a difference where you use red in your home decor. If you're considering red in your bedroom, be careful of using too much, keep it as an accent if you want to use it. Red is energizing and lively. Even though red is considered passionate, it's not the greatest for a restful sleep.
This is an excellent way to use red as an accent colour. The grey and white break it up, so its not too much. Choosing a fabric with red in it is a great way to stay safe.
These red drapes blend in with the rest of the room, so they don't jump out at you. This is a lively, energizing room. If your whole room is red, the drapes support the decor.
These drapes go with the asian theme of the room and add the home owner's personal touch. Maybe they're world travellers.
Banding is a great way to use red in drapery if you don't want too much.
Choosing a classic geometric fabric in red is another great way to use red. There isn't a lot of red in the room, so these drapes become a fun focal point. This is used in a kid's room, but we've used this fabric elsewhere also with great results.
If you're brave enough to paint your ceiling red, instead of the town, then choosing red drapery is a nice way to bring the room together. This looks like a big space and it can support the drama that red brings.
Maybe adding some red candy hearts in a dish is about as red as you'll get, that's ok too! Happy Valentine's Day!
