SEEING RED!

Filed under: red color — Tags: , — jherzlinger @ 3:56 pm

Red is a funny color.  People always associate red with holidays like Valentines and Christmas. But really red, when seeing it, the color, evokes passion and lust.  Think of red roses and a red Ferrari!

But when we talk about the color red for interior design purposes people take a step back.

My Casa Blanca project has become referred to as the project with the “Red Door project”

Red is a color the evokes passion. People either love it or hate it.  I have recently become a huge fan and not just for an outdoor paint. I actually just painted a twelve foot door, the inside of the front door, in a loft space.  The architecture is classical modern, the ceilings are quite tall and the red is a definite statement!

Benjamin Moore paint actually has some great reds for this purpose.

Red is a great color to use when you want to create contrast in the landscape and draw attention to a building that you don’t want to blend into the background.  It’s good to remember that, when you are thinking about red for the outdoor color, direct sunlight has a way of washing color out.

Whenever you choose red-indoors or out-you are showing a ton of confidence with color!

Thanks again for all the questions I am getting and please feel free if you do have a question just email me at info@jamieherzlinger.com

Have a great day!

Love,

Jamie
