Repetition of Red

My home is decorated mostly in neutrals and naturals but I am definitely drawn to red as an accent colour. I think it is inspired by the ubiquitous red stripe in French linen. I did a stroll around my home yesterday and was amazed by how much red I found.

Wishing you all a red-letter day!

Till next time

  4. Reds are nice...
    They never fail to put some spunk and a little bit of cheer in any space...and they look perfect with neutrals:)
