One of my favorite purchases for my new home was a large red IKEA bookshelf (currently available in a narrower size, as seen in image #3 above). It's simple, affordable, good looking, and holds a ton of books and knickknacks. I have to say, though, the best part about it is the lipstick-red hue: it's such an unexpected color in my otherwise ho-hum home office.

With that in mind, here are some bright red storage options for your home, from the slick Componibili modules, which I'm coveting, to a simple CB2 credenza perfect for a TV room or entryway, along with two real-life shots for inspiration.
