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.

FREE IMAGES

I keep seeing stunning things from Global Views High Point Market. There's something to say about the quality and taste they have.

This time they are bringing red back into to style! A while ago I did a post on adding a pop of red into your home and I think they mastered this. Some of my favorite pieces are:

This bezel border pillow. Such a great way to accent your decor.

These stunning hexagon old world vases! You wouldn't expect this color to go well with red but it definitely does.

The spotswood rug gives a very classy look without hesitating to catch your eye with that stunning red.

A bottle light fixture to give the room something shiny! You can find all these lovely things at Global Views.

A new piece of wall art can change up the room and adding a few pillows and a bench seat or stool can tie it all together!
