Red inspiration

 
Toning: red on red
 
In mind and body red...
...quickens the pulse and sends the metabolism skyrocketing upwards.

...advances, halting the eye (think stop signs and traffic lights).

...excites. Picture 'Ferrari' red, Valentine's hearts and 'red light' districts.

Harmonising: red & yellow
 
In style red is...
...sexy in a 'Moulin rouge' style boudoir (think velvet drapes and black lace).

...sleek, chic and contemporary in an oriental-style living room.

...classic, in darker shades in a formal, Empire-look dining room.

 
Red is the colour of passion, action, danger and desire.
Red inflames us. It is hot, stimulating, energising and downright sexy.
Contrasting: red & blue
 
In the home red...
...rouses appetites in dining rooms and to seduce in bedrooms.

...adds warmth, to unloved areas like hallways and stairways.

...stimulates activity in kitchens; avoid stress-inducing red in offices.

Neutral: red & white
