It's bold, stimulating, and, yes, lucky. According to the ancient practice of Feng Shui, making red an auspicious way to decorate your bedroom. "Everything you have heard about red is true," says designer Maureen Footer. "It creates energy. It's unfailingly optimistic. But what makes red enduringly fascinating is its subtlety ... It makes the mundane memorable."

Red Check

Ellen O'Neill decorated all four bedrooms of her Bridgehampton, New York, house in the same color scheme. "When it comes to sheets, I just buy anything with red in it, so everything works in any room," she says. She found this bedding in a Paris flea market that matches the window-shade fabric from Ralph Lauren Home.

Carmine Prints

Remnants of old toile found a new home in this guest bedroom, where they're paired with Ralph Lauren Home linens. Ellen O'Neill set off the patterns with a serene backdrop: Benjamin Moore's Linen White. "It's the blank-canvas approach," she states.

Crimson Chintz

Connie Newberry wanted to use one of her favorite Brunschwig & Fils prints, but needed to temper the swathes of fabric. "I didn't want guests to come in and think they were going to be eaten alive by those giant apples and pears," she says. Quilting the curtains and painting walls Benjamin Moore's Chili Pepper took the edge off.

Cerise Wallpaper

The wallpaper in this Maine bedroom adds more than just color. Quadrille's Independence Engraving infuses a bit of history too, replicating a 1783 fabric depicting George Washington at the reins of a leopard-drawn chariot.
