As fall cools down, interiors warm up! Every October we reach for thicker fabrics, texture, and deeper hues. Bring warmth to your home with touches of crimson; a deep red hue with rich blue undertones.

An area rug is the perfect way to mix in colours you love but would hesitate to paint a wall with- and for good reason, red is a commitment colour! Play with pattern, scale, and contrast and use the rug to compliment the rooms style. Traditional area rugs play well with almost every space! In eclectic rooms they feel funky and interesting, in a modern room pick a more refined pattern with more whimsy for a break from hard lines and contemporary pieces!

An accent chair in a rich crimson would be perfect, too. Choose something with texture- think velvet, tweed, or thick linen texture to feel upscale and yet comfortable!
