Whether you know a name for every shade or call a spade a spade, color has a huge impact on us in many ways. In this new series, Color Therapy, we want to not only highlight trending colors but show how designers use them in unique and aspirational ways. As color lovers, we hope this series will encourage you to bring more color into your life so we’ve pulled together some accessories to get you started using red in interior design. You may notice a few of these items in the designs featured below!

No need to pepper it throughout a room in equal parts, designers are layering different shades of red boldly in one space.

Another option for using red in interior design is to commit to using it in one impactful way. We’re seeing it especially in upholstery. Not ready for a red couch? Start with an ottoman or lacquered side table. Maybe even your kitchen cabinets, stair runner or wallpaper.
