Decorating with Red

Dawn's screened porch pops with color

Decorating with red is really fun. Look how Dawn's screened porch turned gorgeous with pops of beautiful red splashed throughout. We like her affordable and easy decorating ideas for sure!

Red works whether you are decorating for summer or anytime of the year.

We asked Dawn to tell us about her porch. Here is her story...



    The wicker furniture is a rescue my Dad found for me. His neighbors were getting rid of it. I paid $25! I gave it a good cleaning and then repainted it the taupe color.

    Decorating with red


    I found the little wicker end table at a thrift store for $8 and painted it to match.

    Decorating with red


    The rug is one I made years ago, a method called shirret, made from wool strips. I picked up some cushions at a good price and added pops of red from things I have around the house.

    It all came together so well on my screened porch.


Some other links you may enjoy

We really like how Dawn used a table runner to add warmth and a big dose of color to her wicker chair. And notice the other little pops of red, too. For example, the coasters, the rooster, the rooster plate, the pretty plaid table coverings and the bright red pot.

She said that she found the cushions at Old Time Pottery for a good price. And you've got to love those red pillows, too.

The rug that Dawn made of wool strips is very charming on her porch.

Dawn, thanks so much for sharing your porch pictures with us. Your porch rocks!
