BRIGHT, BOLD FOYER TABLE 

 

Often, your home's entryway is the forgotten space that we use for throwing keys, mail, muddy shoes ... all of the stuff we just want to drop when we get through the door.

 

Red is the warmest of all colors and is often associated with fiery heat. What color better than red to warm up your entryway? Better, find a solution that allows you to hide small items -- like this table with a small drawer. By placing simple objects on the table, you can bring even more pizazz to your home's entryway!

RED ACCENTS WARM YOUR HOME

 

Excitement. Strength. Success. Reds are associated with bold, daring and dominant qualities. That's why they're the most commonly used colors in national flags, with three out of four nations waving reds at the world.

 

But don't look too long. Staring at reds strains your eyes, raises your blood pressure and causes your pulse to race. Reds may cause you to feel jumpy and restless. These hues are ideal for areas you want people to pass through quickly, such as hallways, lobbies and guest bathrooms.

 

Hosts who entertain fequently may use red as accents to encourage activity, lively conversation and quick decision-making. Place red trim in your living room, paint children's play tables red and scatter red accents througout your dining room. Make sure you don't overdo it in your dining room - too much red can cause your guests to eat almost twice as much!

Food prep can be meditative and relaxing. Really, taking out frustrations by chopping an onion is good therapy. But after a long day at the office, it's also nice to take a load off. Adding a stool or two to your kitchen takes up very little space, offers an opportunity to incorporate a bold accent color and gives your poor legs a break.
