One of the most common obstacles that people have whenever they think about decorating the house is precisely the choice of colors. Do you need something bold, do you want to stay neutral or do you want to "play" safely by trusting your instincts. Once you have chosen the dominant color, then finding the furniture or carpets and all the other elements necessary to complete the space of the house becomes a challenge in itself.

What is this rule?

Don't be intimidated by the numbers! We assure you that the 60-30-10 rule is just a simple way to think about colors in your home. "The color palette can be divided into three using the 60-30-10 rule. So 60% of the space is a dominant color, 30% a complementary color and 10% an accent color," says interior designer Amber Guyton. In practice, this may seem like a formula that applies only to the living room, but in fact it has value for the whole house. The color of the walls, of the furniture, the paintings, the color of the doors and windows, even the smallest details like pillows or carpets are very important.

How to apply the "60-30-10" rule in your home

The breakdown of this rule depends on the space you will furnish. The elements that make up 60% of the space in the house are the walls, a large sofa and a rug. In the kitchen, 60% can be applied to the sideboard, 30% to the shade of the side pieces and 10% to the kitchen appliances and appliances.

The goal is to create a space where you feel good and every detail conveys a sense of joy in your home. Play by the rules, but also by the furnishing trends and your wishes to create a super peaceful and comfortable space where you interact every day.
