COLOUR CONFIDENTIAL'S VALENTINE COLOUR TIPS

With Valentine's Day around the corner it's nice to spice up your home with the colours of love. Add pink and red to your decor with Jane Lockhart's tips.

Red: The colour of energy and passion
Use red in linens, a bed throw or pajamas to channel its bold energy.
Red is a conversation starter; you eat more and talk more in red rooms.

Pink: A sweet, soft version of red
Place pink flowers in any space to add a touch of innocence and romance.
Mix pink accessories with chocolate brown furniture and fabrics for a retro, flirty feel.
