Ever heard of the unexpected red theory? It’s the idea that if you add something red to a space, even (or especially) if it seems out of place or doesn’t match, it will make the room look better. Think: a burgundy table lamp in a room otherwise colored with blue and green tones. Or a cherry red picture frame against a butter yellow wall. It’s a trend that feels fresh, confident, and a little daring—exactly the kind of energy we love in a child’s room. Below, we’re sharing a few ways to bring this unexpected pop into your nursery or toddler space.
