I guess Valentino would agree with that quote. Red has always been associated with glam and splendor and it seems there is no rule of thumb to make it work in any type of interior. Either in softening up a near by iron spiral staircase or adding that certain "Je ne sais quoi" to a mid-century space as in Mac Jacobs' Paris home in the last, far bottom picture.
