Paint the town a glamorous shade of red
Red packs a punch, whether you’re wearing it or adding it to your home’s palette. It can look great on a nightstand in a little boy’s room, glamorous in rubyred glass on a vanity table, or patriotic in pillows on your front porch. Pantone’s announcement that “Viva Magenta” would be its 2023 Color of the Year has gotten everyone thinking about how and where they can use it. Here are some ideas.
Pretty in pink
Nicolai Wiig-hansen’s cheerful Raawii Relae bowl adds style to the table. Made of mouthblown glass in Portugal, the bowl would also make a great gift. $77; amara.com
A little luxury
OKA’S Adapana velvet armless chair in blood orange is a utility player. Keep it in the living room and shift it to the dining room for extra seating, or move it to the bedroom — even your closet, if it’s roomy enough. $1,495; oka.com
Pop of color
If your couch and chairs are neutral, pillows are the perfect way to introduce color to a room. Try OKA’S Koyari Cushion Cover in vermillion red. $90; oka.com
Waves of comfort
Sit in a straightforward way or throw your legs over the wavy left or right arms of the Semo swivel chair, $5,500; 1stdibs.com
Spring settings

Another layer

From Italy
Bertazzoni’s new induction range has four high-power heating zones on its glass work top and its spacious, 4.6-cubic-foot oven has seven shelf levels. $6,099; bertazzoni.com
A bold choice
Fans of Pantone’s “Viva Magenta” could choose Graham & Brown’s “Vixen” red paint with confidence. $90 a gallon; graham brown.com
