How Should I Decorate My Room?
Whether you’re redecorating your living room, dining room, office, kitchen, or master bedroom there’s one simple color rule that can help make sense of your interior design. Interior designers use the 60-30-10 rule to design a color palette and disperse it across their room in a harmonious way. The 60-30-10 rule states that you only need three colors to give any room a cohesive color palette. 60 percent of your room will be your main color, which you will use in your wall paint as well as large pieces like an area rug, sofa, or built-in cabinets. 30 percent of your room will be the secondary color. For the secondary color, you can use it on draperies or try a piece of accent furniture like an accent chair, TV stand, or painted accent cabinet. And finally 10 percent of your room will be your accent color. This is where you can bring in your signature “pop of color” with decorative accessories like couch pillows, throw blankets, wall art, lamps, candle holders, or vases.

metal wall shelves, and metal wall art.
