Red inspiration

red is the color of passion, action, danger and desire.

Red inflame us. It is sizzling, exciting and refreshing

in mind and body red...
...quickens the pulse and sends the metabolism skyrocketing upwards.
...advances, halting the eye (think stop signs and traffic lights).
...excites. Picture 'Ferrari' red, Valentine's hearts and 'red light' districts.

in the home red...
...rouses appetites in dining rooms and to seduce in bedrooms.
...adds warmth, to unloved areas like hallways and stairways.
...stimulates activity in kitchens; avoid stress-inducing red in offices.

in style red is...
...sexy in a 'Moulin rouge' style boudoir (think velvet drapes and black lace)
...sleek, chic and contemporary in an oriental-style living room.
...classic, in darker shades in a formal, Empire-look dining room.
