Is your living room drab? Is your bedroom a bit blah? How about your bathroom? Could it use a touch of panache?
Try adding something red.
At least that’s the theory held by Taylor Migliazzo Simon.
Ms. Migliazzo Simon, a designer in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, made the case for her notion in a recent TikTok video that has been viewed nearly a million times.
“The ‘unexpected red’ theory is basically adding anything that’s red, big or small, to a room where it doesn’t match at all, and it automatically looks better,” Ms. Migliazzo Simon, 30, says at the start of the video.
She goes on to show the color red in rooms where it would not seem to match, including a mostly green bathroom with a pair of red sinks and a hotel hallway with purple walls and red doors.
“I’m petitioning to make red a neutral color,” she says, “because it just looks good with everything.”
