The Colour You Need To Embrace In Your Home
Red wakes up a room like no other colour.
That’s not news, but this classic hue is having a moment thanks to The Unexpected Red Theory. The phrase was coined on social media by designer Taylor Migliazzo Simon, and it quickly went viral. The idea is that a dash of red animates any space. Here are a few inspiring ways to embrace this timeless colour today.
Power Colour
Are you ready to submit to the pull of this energizing hue? Bring in a bold red furnishing to make a statement, like a red bench or striking bed frame. Then layer in more red with throws, pillows, lampshades, art and accessories. Vary the shades and tones for a more nuanced effect.

What A Pair
Red and green are opposite on the colour wheel, but simpatico side by side in any space. As small accents, like the kettle and door, or a dash of red in a blue- green room, the two complementary colours are a happy couple.
Accent On Red
There’s no need to commit to red walls or large furnishings to feel the electrifying power of red. A pop of red in a cushion, pouf or side table, or as an accent colour in a rug, is all you need to amp up a room’s energy. Even a bouquet of red blooms will do the trick.
