Red in Bed

I've heard it said never use red in the bedroom if you want to get a good night's sleep.  Red is an 

energy color. It stimulates.  I have no problem with a red bedroom. Whether in fashion or in decorating I always say, there's a red for everyone. Just choose the right red... with the correct undertones. In my book these bedrooms rock! Which room would you want to spend time in? 

Who said you shouldn't paint a bedroom red.  SW6313 by Sherwin Williams is perfect for a masculine feel good bedroom..

A red and green color pallet shouldn't be reserved for the Christmas season. The charcoal gray walls add depth.

Beautiful coral red adds a  feminine  touch to this bedroom.

Great tomato red room in a small space.

Red gauze and back lighting bring the drama... this red is spicey

Husbands and Wives

When it comes to the bedroom most husbands don't want to feel as though it's been decorated without him in mind. I haven't met the guy who's comfortable in a frilly pink bed covered with  fluffy lace pillows. After all, he sleeps there too.  So, what I do suggest to bring him into the fold is choosing fabrics and colors that he can live with. Why this bedroom works for husband and wife has a lot to do with color and fabric. The blue is a soft ethereal shade that brings softness to the room. The fabric choices  are complimentary. The plaid brings in the masculine side while the brown velvet on the duvet is for her. The pillows are in many shapes and sizes. Accessories round out the room with chunky night stands and feminine lamps. I like pretty in the bedroom but when it's shared by the man of the house it can't be pink.
