A Hint of Rouge: Interior Tips For Adding Red

Love the bold color of red, but not sure how to add it to your home? The trick is a little goes a long way. This fiery color can be overwhelming if used too much in one space. A signature red painted wall speaks volumes in itself without having to add the color in any other way. However if you rent, chances are you won’t be able to paint your walls this classic, but striking hue. Instead, you can still get that classic pop of color from a piece of furniture or home accessory. Let’s check out our favorite ways to add red to your apartment.
