:wave: Hello and welcome to the forum :)

I came up with this red design just doing a bing search of red cross stitch designs

http://artecy.com/marigold-red-cross-stitch.html

I think if you searched 123stitc.com and other online sites, looking for red cross stitch you may come up with a lot of options

I found a few listed on 123stitch

You might want to consider googling redwork patterns. As the technique name indicates, red is the main color. :)

Or you could look for monochromatic designs and just pick the red that you want to use. Ink Circles has many lovely monochromatic designs, as do many other designers.

Welcome to the forum from Philadelphia, PA.

If you are not averse to flowers, you can find lots of patterns featuring red flowers (roses, tulips, gerberas etc..).

Or maybe choose a bright red fabric as your canvas.

:wave: Hello and welcome to the forum! Many online websites will sort the different cross stitch patterns by subject as well as color. As Karen mentioned 123 Stitch has quite a few subjects listed. Other sites like Nordic Needle . Searching for "Cross stitch by subject" will also give you a huge number of sites to choose from. I hope that when you discover what you are looking for that you post updates of your progress. We would love to see what you pick!

You can also search at Hoffman's (http://hoffmandis.com" target="_blank). They're a distributor, so you can't buy directly from them, but you can search for charts. Once you find one you want, you can target your online search for a retailer (or LNS) that has that chart.

In the search list on the left, pick "Category" and then select "Household." You can then pick "Bathroom" or "Bedroom" to see what charts they distribute.

If you find a kit you like, you can always replace the floss with a color you like:

This is a Dimensions kit that I found when I googled images of bathroom cross stitch.

Hope this helps!

If you'd like flowers for the bedroom, Artecy has a chart of red and white camellias available on their free download page for the next two weeks.

You could do this by changing the colours

I was thinking of these "quilts on a clothesline" designs by Ursula Michaels
Floss can be easily switched out to whatever color you want. Keep the text, change the text.. or don't do the text at all. I modify most things I stitch.

I can't think of a design that just has a bed. Perhaps a search through Etsy?
