Red Theory

TikTok’s “Unexpected Red Theory” advocates using red as a bold accent color in surprising places throughout the home. The idea is that this shade greatly enhances the aesthetic appeal of any space, intentionally catching the eye.

This is my go to neutral paint 👌🏻 @Farrow & Ball ‘Dropcloth’. A gorgeous, warm neutral which pairs well with so many other colours. #dropcloth #farrowandball #paintcolors #neutralpaint #neutralaesthetic #neutralhome #neutraldecor

Warm Neutrals

Instead of traditional whites and beiges, modern home decor embraces warmer neutrals like terracotta browns and rich caramelized shades, creating a cozier and more sophisticated vibe.

Color Drenching

Color drenching, another trending paint technique popularized by TikTok, is set to continue its influence in the coming year. This approach involves saturating a space with a single hue to create a bold, unified aesthetic.
