Bold colors fade in and out of trends, but one color seems to persist no matter the year: red. From Diana Vreeland's 'garden in hell' living room in the 70s to Taylor Simon's 'unexpected red theory,' the color is always a favorite among the world's most glamorous tastemakers. Images of Walt Disney's home provide an even earlier example.
An archival image of the animator's living room from 1955 shows that his space was bathed in red. The grand space has white walls and pillars, accented with a red brocade carpet, red drapes, and a silky red armchair. The rest of the furniture is wood and gray velvet. Period details like a phonograph add 50s interest.
