The element of surprise packs a big punch when it comes to home decor. That's why the recent trend of incorporating red accents into a room's layout has taken off on TikTok and other social media sites. Just one or two elements in bold red can take a space from drab to fab in an instant.
If you want to try the "pop of red" trend, even simple items like a throw pillow, a wall clock or an area rug can help bring your room's look together. We've found some of our favorite red accents to put the finishing touches on any space without overwhelming the rest of the decor, so you can start decorating right away.

Red is a somewhat divisive color when it comes to decor. It is definitely a bold shade, so it's no wonder its energizing vibe can be too much for some homeowners.
That's why using small red accents in limited applications throughout a space works better than painting all the walls ruby or choosing cherry tiles for the bathroom. You can pair the red elements with neutral colors that help ground the space but still get the sophisticated, lively boost you want from the bold color.
