apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Name: Amalfi Red IB60, Stadium Red TH42
Brand: Ralph Lauren

This Christmas Id like to continue quoting the endlessly quotable Diana Vreeland:

"All my life Ive pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me. Its exactly as if Id said I want Rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist templethey have no idea what Im talking about."

For her own Park Avenue apartment she had Billy Baldwin design a living room from crown to toe in scarlet, replete with red lacquer and fleurs du mal wallpaper. I think I have two red dining rooms that might meet with her approval. Both remind me of the deep color of holly berries.
