With the gray skies that have enveloped my neck of the woods over the past couple of months, my eyes are craving color, and lots of it. Red is a bold choice that can evoke feelings of passion, heat and energy — just the things that help us get through these last couple months of winter, no? It's not necessary to use red as a main color in your space to get the benefits; add a touch here and there to rev up your room and your mood. — Danyelle from Dandee Designs

We all know that candles provide a nice fragrance. When packaged up in a bold way, they can also act as accessories.

A rolling pin is generally a very utilitarian item in the kitchen. The nice pop of red on this one takes it from something that gets stuffed in a drawer to something that I'd want to keep on the countertop.

I love having extra bags and totes on hand. This canvas color-blocked one would look great hanging on a row of hooks.

Having sufficient light on hand during the darker months is a necessity. This cheery red will brighten your space as much in the daylight hours as it will once the sun goes down.

Adding a touch of red to your space doesn't have to cost a lot of money. Place some happy red and white striped straws in a Mason jar in your kitchen for a simple decorative touch.

Art is another easy way to add a touch of red. This piece would work great on its own or layered with a couple other complementary pieces on a bookshelf or mantel.

That's a great line! And exactly how I felt this morning, waking up to acres of dirty grey whiteness again (not even February yet!). I was going to make a trip to Ikea for some bright colours, but it's more comfortable to stay cosy at home in front of the fire with the clutter and dust-bunnies and peruse Houzz instead. Cheaper, too.
