Design Tips

Expert principles for using color confidently

The 60-30-10 Rule

Use 60% dominant, 30% secondary, 10% accent. This creates natural visual balance that holds across any style.

Lighting Changes Everything

Always test samples in natural and artificial light. Colors behave differently at different times of day.

Anchor with Neutrals

Start with a neutral base for walls and large furniture. Reserve bolder choices for accents and focal points.

Room Purpose Matters

Bedrooms: calming, muted. Kitchens: energetic, bright. Studies: focused, rich. Let function guide color.

Sample Before Committing

Apply large paint samples and live with them 3–4 days. The color on screen and the color on your wall will differ.

Create Visual Flow

Choose a consistent color family across adjacent rooms. Small shifts in tone, not dramatic jumps, make a home feel cohesive.
