Shopping For Red Sofas

Not only are red sofas seasonally appropriate, they're also ballerina friendly, as dancer Quenby Hersh demonstrated yesterday during a dress rehearsal for the Scottish Ballet's production of Cinderella.

Of course, no one would buy a sofa just for holiday decorating (that's what ornaments are for, after all). And while red may be a festive color of the season, it's also a lively shade that's perfect for plenty of living rooms year-round. I've rounded up a dozen or so red sofas in shades ranging from scarlet to rust. See if you can find a favorite.
