A touch of red....Or a full blown heart attack

One of the first "design rules" I can remember encountering was that every room should have a touch of red in it. So I proudly displayed my 1 red pillow (possibly furry) in my childhood room and felt very adult-like I lived in a well designed space.

Well, that time tested rule seems to hold true in a lot of interiors today as well. Just how much red is a matter of personal opinion:

For those with a full-blown "Heart Attack"

(not red, I know, but still bolder than bold)

  5. Hey Abby, I think my living room fits into the your middle category :)
    I was really skeptical at first about the red, but I've come to really love it.
