Inspired by Red: Stylish Room Decor Ideas and Tips

Do you love rooms decorated with red? I remember red being more popular years ago, but trends shift and what we see online doesn’t always reflect everyday homes. I’d love to hear what color palettes you use—are bold reds part of your rooms or do you prefer subtler tones?

This weekend I visited an open house that used a cheerful red as an accent, and it reminded me how much personality that color can bring. Red can read as bright and summery or deep and cozy depending on the hue and how it’s paired with other finishes.

Open houses are my idea of a perfect weekend adventure — wandering through charming homes I’ve only driven past, imagining how each space might feel to live in. Is anyone else a fan of casually touring homes for design inspiration?
