7. Try the Unexpected Red Theory
I tried out the “unexpected red theory” by adding this antique red wool rug I found at Lowe’s. It makes this space come alive! (Plus, I love that it’s wool so it’s stain-resistant and super durable longterm.)
The Unexpected Red Theory in interior design is all about adding a surprise pop of red to keep things interesting. It’s a fun way to grab attention and shake up a space, making it feel more vibrant and sentimental.
You can try it by adding a red lampshade, red rug, red piece of furniture, or red pillow into a room. Somehow it instantly makes a room feel like it’s steeped in history.
