A rusty shade of red takes you away to the glorious countryside. With Para Paints’ Sarah Richardson collection, color Barn SR/38, you can paint furnishings, ceilings, walls and more, and warm up your rustic hideaway. In a bedroom, dress the bed with a beautifully hand-blocked quilt and shams from West Elm that you can cozy up in every Valentine’s Day.

For the modern eye, try introducing a pop of red at your table—either a super slick, high gloss dining table like the Walker cherry dining table from Crate&Barrel; or a few red dining chairs to add to your existing table, like the Eames molded plastic chairs from Design Within Reach.
