What is the Unexpected Red Theory?\u00a0<\/span><\/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.

Use Red Decor<\/span><\/h3>\n

If painting with red paint feels too bold for you, start by incorporating red through your interior decor.
