Christmas is by far my favourite time of year. It is the time of year that I am stimulated both emotionally and visually. I love the decorations, the lights, the spirit of giving and receiving, and most of all this time of year makes me attracted to the color red more than any other time of the year. So in the spirit of the season and the mood I am in, following are some of my favourite red rooms and objects of decor. I wish to you all a season filled with the spirit of love, happiness and time spent with family and friends.
What a great use of a modern stripe on a traditional chair and the other touches of red in the room echoed in the roman shade and flowers.Brian McCarthy Elle Decor Dec 2007
What about just one touch of red in your room in a wonderful and ornate mirror frame?

My favourite Interior Designer, Albert Hadley in front of his famous red bulletin board
A door covered in red felt that I adore by the fabulous Suzanne Rheinstein
A masterful use of red in this room. The touches of black in the bureau, art frames and accessories ground the space and act like punctuation marks.

The name John Stefanidis says it all. A brilliant combining of checks and geometrics in this monochromatic color scheme. And the dimensions of the room are so grand...to have the space to float a table in the center of the room. A perfect place to pile stacks of books.

A classic Chinese Bamboo chair painted bright shiny red is complimented perfectly with the matching red trim on the draperies.

Check out the red piping on this sofa and the detail on the skirt, and of course you all know my fixation with zebra carpets.

I love this beautiful ornate armoire juxtaposed with the clean lines of the contemporary chair. And of course the well photographed coffee table book - Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. 2007 might well be dubbed as the year of Red Coral and this book may go down in the Guinness World Book of Records as the most photographed book.

Another classic chair by Harry Bertoia shown with a red leather cushion. A 1950's Chair designed for the Knoll Group
When I saw these dishes while driving by, in a window display at the Hermes store, I was so taken with them that I circled the block to find a parking spot and went into the store to check them out. What is there not to like about anything that Hermes does?
