Shades of Red

I love the color red in designing interiors and exteriors. The extra pop of color is needed to make the room, garden or the exterior of your home stand out. At Harmonizing Homes, it is one of our signature colors, we love to incorporate the color red whenever the situation allows.

Red is hot. It's a strong color that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare.

Red is power, hence the red power tie for business people and the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs (very important people).

Use the color red to grab attention and to get people to take action.

 Use red when you don't want to sink into the background. Use red to suggest speed combined with confidence and perhaps even a dash of danger. A little bit of red goes a long way.

 Small doses can often be more effective than large amounts of this strong color. Multiple shades of red and even pink or orange can combine for a cheerful palette.

Feng shui colors, when used properly, will bring the desired feng shui energy into your home. Red color carries the energy of the fire feng shui element.

 Fire has always been a symbol of divine energy and can be both destructive and creative. Fire represents the energy of sun and life.


A balanced feng shui fire element in your home will bring joy, excitement and strong sexual desire

The feng shui energy of color red is the energy of arousal. It is hot, passionate, rich and celebratory. Red is the Chinese color of luck and happiness, the marriage color in India, and the symbolic color of love and romance courage and passion in the West.


Red is the hottest of the warm colors…. it is nature .....and Mother Nature is never wrong.... So remember when you are redesigning, staging...bring in a pop of color...you can't go wrong...
