It's the most wonderful time of the year! The holidays are a time of gathering and celebration. In this spirit of joy and revelry, we're spotlighting the most festive color of all: red. When I think of red my way, I think about pattern play, unexpected textures, and invigorating hues. Picture wicker furniture paired with ikats, mohair, or embroideries. A heavy dose of glamour that is also casual and comfortable. This year (and every year) I'm loving satin ribbons and amaryllis or paperwhites in terra cotta pots. All that’s missing is a garland on the mantel, a wreath on the door, and a tree in the window with plenty of gifts under it. Cheers!

THE LILY COLLECTION

The Lily collection created in collaboration with Soane Britain brings rattan back indoors. The pieces include an armchair whose eye-catching base brings to mind a rippled fabric, a drum table, and a slipper chair in the manner of American style icon Billy Baldwin.

MDS FOR SCHUMACHER

Several of my patterns for Schumacher come in pink and red colorways. Whether you're scheming a sumptuous red room or looking for a pop of color, check out the possibilities below.

Nobody does pattern and color quite like Pierre Frey. As someone who is obsessed with fabric, I find their unique mix of eclecticism and tradition to be unmatched.

BONACINA

Bonacina has been designing wicker and rattan furniture of the utmost quality since 1889. I love to work with this historic design house whenever possible. My favorite pieces were designed in collaboration with one of my heroes, Renzo Mongiardino.

HOULES

I tend to pair a trim with just about every fabric in a room. From tassels to fringe, Houlès has a beautiful and vibrant selection of trimmings.

NAMAYSAMAY

@namaysamay

Handwoven in Bhutan and Bengal using traditional techniques, fabric from Namay Samay is undoubtedly special. I love their stunning embroideries—perfect for the leading edge of drapery.
