If you really pay attention, you will notice that there’s not a lot of true red spaces in this blog because I prefer warmer orange/reds over blue/reds. So in honour of Love day, here are some red rooms especially for the red lovers:

Red is the warmest of all colors. It’s  associated with fiery heat and warmth.

Red is the color most chosen by extroverts and one of the top picks of males.

Red is the color of blood, and as such has strong symbolism as life and vitality.

Red is the color associated with the Root Chakra at the base of the spine (animal or base nature). This chakra deals with life at the level of practicality.

Red is also the color of passion and lust. (colour meaning source)

    Happy Valentine Week, Maria!
    I love the red /gray kitchen too & red in general and all variations, though I’m not really an extrovert.
    Think living in a cooler climate now, it just feels warm and sure.
    Hope YOUR Valentine told you so!
    XO,
    Paula.

      Hi Lisa,
      I think this is a Martha Stewart bed but I don’t think she’s making furniture anymore.
