REFINE your home decor from looking less cluttered and overly decorated.
One interior design expert says they know the secret to make any space look lavish, and you probably have never heard of it.
TikTok design account Redkin Homes posted a video revealing their unknown technique for timeless design.
This technique requires reinvention.
“If you’re wanting your home design to be timeless… Try using a concept instead of a theme,” the video explains.
Rather than buying tangible objects that are accessories for a topic, pick pieces that are representative of the ambiance you want.

For example, the video uses a “coastal home” theme.
The video uses a picture of a bedroom with decor consisting of “literal items from the beach.”
Dried starfish, sailboats, and fish pictures are hanging on the walls.
Redkin Homes argues you can still design your home to feel coastal or “beach-like” without buying any of these items.

The video then shows a different space.
The living room has tan wood furniture, gray wood flooring, soft matte tiles, white cushions, and hanging plants.
Redkin Homes says this space: “Uses thoughts or ideas that relate back to the beach.”
“It’s more subliminal and a more classic way of styling,” they argue.
The issue with buying literal items is that they can be too trendy, and it’s hard to redesign a space hyperfocused on one theme.
One viewer broke down this secret a little more for others who didn’t understand.
She commented: “Concept is the core idea driving the design. Theme is a general subject or message with a narrative.”
Another person wrote: “Theme -taking literal items from the beach; Concept – thoughts and ideas that relate back to the beach.”
