If you are looking to add a bit of flair to a traditional space, integrate subtle shades of garnet red in florals and landscapes. The above New York City apartment designed by Nathan Turner fuses traditional subjects with rich hues and layered patterns to create a space that is eye-catching yet tasteful.
