Question: What’s the 60-30-10 Rule?
Answer #2:
Yesterday, I posted Answer #1 here http://activerain.com/blogsview/3653948/what-s-the-60-30-10-rule- . Thank you for your comments.
Answer #2 is from one of my very wise mentors (who also happens to live in Pennsylvania, although does not know my cousin).
This time the 60-30-10 rule pertains to what you do with the remaining 10% of furnishings and home decor you kept. Keep this rule in mind when considering your room's color palette.
60% the unifying color, 30% the visual interest, 10% the punch
How do you know which things make up the 60, 30 or 10?
Think of a dapper suit.
His classic gray suit is 60 %, the crisp, patterned shirt 30%, and orchid tie is the 10% punch that brings it altogether.
Its really all about balance. Just keep in mind your accent colors should only be the pop. Too much of a good thing, can make for a busy thing.
