  1. What colors do I choose to decorate with and how much of each looks good? Resources and pictures from http://www.stlouishousepainting.com/stlouis_painting/interior-painting/the-classic-color-rule-60-30-10/

  2. Use the 60-30-10 rule • When deciding on a color scheme for a room, follow the style of a man in a business suit: • 60% of his outfit’s color is the slacks and jacket • 30% of his outfit’s color is the shirt • 10% of his outfit’s color is the tie

  3. 60% of the room’s color is the walls 30% of the room’s color is the furniture 10% of the room’s color is an accent piece or decorative pieces This color scheme works well because it provides a sense of balance and allows the colors to visually flow in a room. For a room this roughly translates as:

  4. 60 percent should be the dominant colorIt should be visually appealing and compliment the style and personality of the room. 

  5. 30 percent should look appealing with the dominant color

  6. And 10 percent should be a bold accent color displayed through decorations like throw pillows and blankets or a floral arrangement.

  7. Not everyone has the luxury of starting from scratch • “I already have furniture that I can’t easily change, so what will look best with my furniture?” • TIPS: Furniture is usually your 30% so think of colors that will look good with your upholstery or furniture materials. • TIPS: What feeling do you want? A dark or light or bold color for walls will change the feeling of the room dramatically.
