No. 3: Chinese Lacquer Red
-
Why we love it: Ironically, this exotic treatment has inspired us for centuries, yet it feels hip, young, and eternally classic. It has recently crept into our interiors with a vengeance. Even fabrics are taking cues, giving us jazzy alternatives for upholstering furniture.
How to use it: It's dramatic and exotic in small doses, such as on a coffee table or cabinets, and it feels alluring and intimate when completely covering the walls. Our favorite place to use Chinese lacquer red is in a library, and we like it best when paired with chocolate brown. - Next: No. 4: Turquoise
