Since today is Lunar New Year, it warmed my heart when my manicurist sent me home with a little red envelope with a two dollar bill in it. In Chinese culture, the color red is said to be auspicious and symbolize good luck. I could use a little luck right now, so I am seeing red! As I have mentioned in the past, it is not a color that I am drawn to on a regular basis. I don’t have much of it in my wardrobe and very rarely do I use it in my design work. The only red that I use religiously is my signature nail polish– OPI’s “Color So Hot It Berns“. However, every now and then, I start “seeing red” and become inspired by this striking color. Lately, I have been loving deeply saturated, bright reds. The right hue of red can imbue a great deal of style to any space in a way that is timeless, yet bold. In spite of its ability to make a striking statement, red works because it is also so very classic. While still beautiful, if you were to paint any of the rooms in this post purple, orange, or teal, they might not have the same enduring effect that they do when dressed in chic, beautiful red.
