A few weeks ago, this video by Brooklyn-based interior designer Taylor Migliazzo Simon took TikTok and Instagram by storm. She theorizes that adding a pop of red to any room where it doesn't match the colour scheme improves makes the entire space. Voila: the unexpected red theory was born.
I looked around my own house to see if this was the case. Turns out I've been unexpectedly leaning into the unexpected red theory for a while now! From red throw pillows on my living room couch to pops of red in my shelf vignettes and gallery walls, red has sneakily made its way into (almost) every room of our house.
If you're looking to add red to your space, here are three of my favourite available items in the shop:
For the living room: 1960s Rosewood Dining Chair (Danish Design, Johannes Andersen for Moreddi)
For the shelves: Between Friends/Entre Amis Hardcover Book (National Film Board of Canada, 1976)
For the home bar: Bell’s Scotch Whisky Ceramic Pitcher
