10 Paint Colours to Use with Red Accents

One of my new bloggy friends, Kerry, from A Tranquil Townhouse in Australia, is having a design dilemna.  She wants to repaint her study and she's not sure what colour to use.  She has many red accents in the room, including red IKEA shelves, so the wall colour needs to coordinate with red.  I suggested that we each come up with as many inspiration photos as we could, which would help her make up her mind.  So here is my collection:

1. RED + BLUE
