A change of colour scheme is one of the easiest ways to revamp any place, if you are on a budget … well accessorising is even easier as long as you pick the right pieces. Adding a splash of colour in the form of well thought through items can easily turn your nice looking room into an amazing one.
I love red, I always have and I assume I always will.
Red is the colour of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, strength, power, determination but also with love and passion. Red is a very emotionally intense colour; it’s energising, it excites the emotions and motivates us to take action but it is also strong-willed and can give a confidence boost to those around us who are shy or are lacking in will power.
A few years ago, we decided to accessorise our kitchen in red… it is still a work in progress. We bought a few nice pieces but there is always room for improvement. I have my “wish list” and hopefully one day I will collect them all. If you love red as well and your kitchen might benefit from some sprucing up, have a look at my Pimp Your Kitchen Gift Guide.

My dream is to have a SMEG fridge one day, I think they look brilliant and I love the retro style, although I’ve always dreamed of a pink one, you may have well changed my mind.
Thanks for taking part in my new #TheWishlistLinky

Oh yes, I would love a Smeg fridge too.
I actually noticed recently that they are doing small appliances too… they also look very funky 🙂
I absolutely love red in a kitchen. I think it makes everything stand out but in a nice way! I’ve always wanted a smeg fridge too!
I think I want everything. I love red and was gutted when the Morphy Richards kettle and toaster that I wanted in red had sold out and we ended up buying boring silver
I love a love red kitchen appliances, I always point out the red toasters and kettles! haha I love that retro looking fridge!
I love the colour red, especially this time of year. It seems so warm and cozy.
