Color Combo: Red, White, and Blue

110408_redblue.jpgIn honor of Election Day, we decided to showcase some of our favorite red, white, and blue color combos, thanks to Living Etc. and Rachel Mallon's Twolia Blog. We love these slight variations of reds and blues that make these rooms look less gimmicky and more sophisticated. Check out some of our favorites below the jump...

Bright red drapes create a backdrop to a steel-blue sofa with a satiny sheen. Also love the black and white accents throughout the room (M Design Interiors)

I love red white and blue rooms - that's the color scheme for my bedroom...

..tho I"m still working on finding the perfect red & white wool carpet to go over the beige wall-to-wall, and red & blue duvets and pillow shams.

What a timely little roundup for today, and there are interesting color combinations within the "patriotic" over all scheme. Nicely put together!
