Decorating with the 60-30-10 Rule
Page 2

Purple room  

This room is a perfect example of the 60-30-10 rule in practice.

60% = Lavendar (walls and blanket)

30% = White (bed and fireplace)

10% = brown/tan (chairs, dresser, floor)

     

Another great example:

60% = Tan (walls, floors)

30% Brown (couch, tables)

10% Blue and White (pillows, vases, etc.) oor)
 

Brown Room

     
Red Room  

A classic example showing that you don't need a soft, muted color on your walls to make this work.

60% = Red (walls, accessories)

30% = Cream (furniture, rug)

10% = Tan (floor, accessories)

     

Another great example that clearly demonstrates that the main color doesn't need to be calm, simple, neutral or BORING!

60% = Green (walls, accessories)

30% = White (furniture, art prints)

10% = Dark Brown (floors, chair legs)

   Green Room
     
 blue room  

An example that proves you can use the 60-30-10 rule to work incredibly vibrant and bold colors smoothly into your decorating.

60% = Blue (walls, light)

30% = Pink (bedspread, chair, painted leaves)

10% = White (trim, doors)

The color options are endless and it's not difficult to see that using this rule helps you keep your color scheme under control and helps you produce an end result that's very focused, very clean and very inviting!
