Red Accents & Accessories for the Home Roundup

Red Accents & Accessories for the Home
Roundup

It’s Color Month here at Apartment Therapy, so here are 10 red home goods that can make any room pop. What does red décor say about you? Red is the center of attention — it screams “look at me!” It's the color of love, sexy, passionate and provocative.

Red is also known to stimulate the appetite, which is why so many fast food restaurants use it to decorate. So consider red around the kitchen. And yes, if you get the red phone you can pretend you’re Commissioner Gorden and call Batman whenever you want.

&bull Red Flor Tiles at CB2 - $13.95 per tile
&bull Melio Step Stool at Design Within Reach - on sale for $58
&bull Bullman toilet brush holder at Ikea - 99¢
&bull Retro Square Clock at Target - $15
&bull Red Penelope Pendant Lamp at Lamps Plus - $304

&bull Tolix Stools at Conrans - $185-325
&bull Hudson Bay wool blanket at Woolrich - $289
&bull Red Bentwood Chair with textured seat, part of the new Well Considered line from Conran Shop - $150
&bull Red Real Good Chair from Blu Dot - $129
&bull VIP desk phone at Red Hot Phones - $55

Stay tuned and we’ll continue the full-spectrum Roundup as the month goes on!

I've been on the prowl for inexpensive red linen curtain panels. Everything claiming to be red looks more merlot to me, and I want Commissioner Gorden's Batman-Calling Phone RED.

Red indeed makes a great accent color and goes well with white.

I especially like the pops of red on those lights. If they didn't cast a red glow I'd be all over them! I bought a great mid-century light with red shades for my kitchen once and it gave the whole room a demonic glow. Not good!

The white/red pendant is the Sol from CB2...the table is the Engineer from CB2.
