Colour changes how big, warm and calm a room feels. A simple rule keeps your home looking balanced and intentional.
Use the 60-30-10 rule
Use a main colour for about 60% of the room (walls), a secondary colour for 30% (furniture, curtains) and an accent for 10% (cushions, art).
Match colour to the room
- Living room: warm neutrals with a bold accent
- Bedroom: soft, muted tones for rest
- Kitchen: light, clean shades that hide stains well
- Home office: calm blues or greens for focus
