The theory behind the unexpected red comes from New York-based interior designer Taylor Simone, who says adding a red accent instantly improves the look of any space \u2014 especially one where we don\u2019t expect to see a bright color. Taylor\u2019s video has racked up several million views, and TikTok users have been scouring their apartments to find rooms that fit the trend.<\/p>\n
Many of Taylor’s colleagues say she’s not doing anything new: designer Kishani Perera, for example, says that pops of color against neutrals are a “theory,” much less a new one, and are a classic that’s been around for centuries.<\/p>\n
Still, it works. “From Taylor Swift’s signature red lipstick to this trend in homes, red has always been a statement color,” says Carolyn Ames Noble, former chair of the board of the American Society of Interior Designers.<\/p>\n

“Add a red teapot, cooking utensils or even a bold splashback to your kitchen. Baking tins and small appliances, like a toaster or kettle, aren’t too expensive, so you don’t have to spend a lot of money to experiment,” says interior designer Kerry Kelly.<\/p>\n
“Window treatments and curtains have a huge impact on how we perceive a space. Start simple – change the curtains in the room. Plus, red is a tried and true classic, so it may not be a sultry choice, but it will stand the test of time,” says interior designer Debbie Matthews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
