The color red has many symbolic meanings. For example, in Chinese culture, red is the color associated with good luck and success, so it's not uncommon to see many Chinese restaurants decorated with red, especially for Chinese New Year. Red has also been associated with several popular holidays including Christmas and Valentine's Day.
While adding red lighting to your commercial space can enhance the holiday spirit, you need to avoid going overboard. While red has some positive associations, it's also generated negative sayings such as "seeing red." Most likely, you also want to avoid creating an ambience that reminds your customers of the red light district unless your intention is to go decidedly sexy for a club or bar area.
Accent Your Commercial Space with Red Rope Lights
If you want to add subtle red lighting to your business, red rope lights are an affordable choice. You can cut red rope lights into lengths that are appropriate for the location where you would like to position them. For example, you might want to place red rope lights near your entrance where your hostess stands. If you have a waiting area with seating, you can also place red rope lights at the base of the benches to give the area a fun glow.
