- Let’s Talk About the Red Theory
Have you heard about the unexpected red theory? The red theory can be traced back to the Renaissance period when artists used vibrant red pigments, like vermilion and madder, to create striking focal points in their artworks. Essentially, in modern interior design, the red theory involves adding anything red, big or small, to a room that may not seem to match, aiming to infuse energy and vibrancy into the space.
It doesn’t have to be a big item; it can be as simple as a red lamp or a red vase. The key is adding a good dose of dopamine to a space—by taking something simple and transforming it with a dash of red, you instantly uplift a room. Red is an energetic color, and using it in interior design brings excitement and enthusiasm to a space.

3. Applying the Rule of Thirds
The rule of three states that arranging items in odd numbers, like threes, is more interesting than things set up in even numbers. With that being said, we can combine these two theories—the red theory and the rule of thirds—to elevate your home decor game to the next level. The first way to apply the rule of thirds is to choose a central piece of furniture and place objects on both sides to create balance. The second way is to create groups; you can do this by stacking books and collecting items on shelves. However, if all this seems a bit complicated, don’t fret; just keep it simple and add three red-colored items to a room. Place these items all around the room; this keeps the eyes roaming, making a room feel and look more interesting!
