What is the Unexpected Red Theory?<\/h2>\n

First things first: let\u2019s make sure we understand the Unexpected Red Theory. Designer from Brooklyn, Taylor Simon, brought this interior design trend to light on her TikTok page. In her video, she explains the theory: \u201cbasically adding anything red, big or small to a room where it doesn\u2019t match at all, and it automatically looks better.<\/i><\/b>\u201d After the video gained major popularity, homes and businesses started\u00a0sharing their usage of the theory<\/a>\u00a0in their own homes. There is no doubt about it, the theory works!<\/p>\n

How and Why Red Influences Our Mood<\/h3>\n

Color has the ability to influence our moods. Different colors are associated with different emotions. Red specifically is a\u00a0powerful color<\/a>. It is associated with feelings of warmth, passion, excitement, and even confidence! You can see this\u00a0color psychology used in commercial spaces<\/a>. Red is commonly used in restaurants to stimulate appetite, or with retail spaces to encourage urgency.<\/p>\n

A bright red paint may not be what you want to\u00a0color drench<\/a>\u00a0your home in, but a pop here and there can evoke pleasant emotions and add a touch of sophistication to your home.<\/p>\n

Paint Unexpected Places<\/h3>\n

For a more subtle effect, think about painting red in places you wouldn\u2019t normally think of. Red doors, kitchen backsplashes, or even the insides of a bookshelf are small but impactful spaces! Giving them a pop of bright color can make your space feed curated and thoughtfully designed.<\/p>\n

Use Red Decor<\/h3>\n

If painting with red paint feels too bold for you, start by incorporating red through your interior decor. Consider adding red throw pillows, rugs, or even statement pieces like a red throw chair or side table to your space. This way, you can have the same visual impact, but can easily switch them out if you want to change things up.<\/p>\n
