How to add accents of red into your space

FREE IMAGES I'm not one for red, or warm colors at all, but I do like trying new things and changing things up. That's why I thought I'd find some inspiration for using the boldest color of them all - red.

A throw is an easy and non-committal way to dip your toes into using bolder colors.

Color crush: indigo and bold blues

FREE IMAGES So, I don't usually jump on trends, but I have been seeing a lot of indigo and deep blues donning the walls of a lot of mags these days. I have to admit, I'm smitten!

I'm seriously considering painting our bedroom a color like this.  It is large with a high ceiling, and we have a very similar bed.  I think the contrast is really nice.

I would never pick that wallpaper, and I do not like zebra rugs, but all of these elements together are so pretty.

Brick wall and an unashamedly girly bed? Love it.

You don’t need to clear out your local Hobby Lobby of everything with a star or a stripe this month to give your home or 4th of July celebration a patriotic sparkle, you can show your pride this Independence Day in a less is more approach with style, sophistication, and a little bit of fun.

The opening of The Pledge of Allegiance in a bold modern graphic print is a great way to show some spirit.
