If you ever thought bold colors didn't work with small spaces, here are a few extremes to consider. They're not only bold, they're fantastically red:
If you're inspired to try red in your own small space, consider starting with something large but reversible. Perhaps a bed spread or curtain. If it works, paint just might be your next step!
Do you have a small space in your home where you've taken the plunge into red? How do you like it?

The red is a bit bright for me but I do love the color red. I use more of a brick red color or cranberry myself.
We just bought a house with a tiny office for me, and I'm painting it red soon. Because my consulting relates to dating, love and relationships, I figure I can get away with having an office that resembles a big Valentine's Day card. My dilemma is whether to paint the ceiling red too, or leave it white (or go hot pink or something)! Thoughts? (Light hardwood floors and boring blinds until my biz can afford cute curtains and a nice rug. And yes, my clients have to be able to tolerate my choices.)
The smallest and darkest room in our home is red, and we LOVE it! It's our den/home office/guest room. We've paired it with white trim, brown leather and dark black-brown woods. The room is warm, cozy and inviting. Fantastic! The colour we used is Behr's Cinnamon Cherry.
Red is such a strong, joyful, energetic color. I especially like orangeish reds. The Asian tradition of brides wearing reds at their weddings always has seemed very right to me.
Is that furry pup in the first pic a "Doodle"? Mine's the best accessory ever.
I have always wanted a red bedroom. Also, Miami's Elaine? I wore red at my wedding, and I'm not of Asian descent. It's just my favorite color!
A friend painted her bedroom bright red (think spurting blood). She and her husband had the angriest, nastiest divorce I've ever seen. It's kinda turned me off red bedrooms... (plus, they don't seem very restful...).
@ChryssF, same here, for both the civil and the religious ceremonies. Until your comment, I was the only non-Asian I knew of who'd done so, although of course there must be many others. It's a fresh, auspicious, beautiful way to celebrate beginning married life.
