Red or Not? The Great Dresser Debate That’s Taking Over Our Living Room
Recently, my husband and I scored a beautiful dresser hutch — the kind of piece that can really define a room. Naturally, I immediately envisioned it in a bold, eye-catching color: red. But when I excitedly shared my idea, my husband’s reaction was… less enthusiastic. In fact, it was a firm “no way.”
And just like that, a harmless little piece of furniture turned into a full-blown debate.
Why I Want Red
Red is bold, vibrant, and full of personality. A red dresser hutch would:
Make a striking statement in the room
Add warmth and energy
Turn a simple storage piece into a piece of art
For me, it’s about creativity and self-expression. Plus, painting furniture is a fun weekend project, right?
Why He Says No
Of course, my husband has his reasons. He worries:
Red might overpower the room or clash with existing decor
Bold colors can be tricky to match over time
The effort and commitment involved in painting
