This is a collaborative post

Colour is so powerful; it’s like adding a touch of magic into your home. It sets the mood and the tone, and it has a way of making the room feel welcoming or even the complete opposite. So, when it comes to colour, there are so many things that you have to keep in mind in order to ensure that your home looks the way you want. So, here are some crucial guidelines to follow.

Consider the 60-30-10 rule

A common rule that a lot of painters and interior designers use is the 60-30-10 rule. This is a simple decorating tip that helps you to choose the right colour scheme for your home. This rule is ideal for those who are new to decorating. It is simple to follow and works well in any type of room. A good rule of thumb is to have a minimum of 60% of a room white. If you have a lot of furniture, you can use lighter colours to add visual interest.

Alternatively, consider using a neutral palette to highlight the view in a room. Remember that the 60-30-10 rule is one of many ways to add colour to your home. You can also create your own decorating formula. Try to find a balance that will reflect your personality.

Stick with a specific colour scheme

Whether it’s monochromatic or you want something bold and dramatic, you need to stick with a scheme and theme regardless of choice. However, keep in mind that pops of colour, or adding hints of different colours here and it is fine. Colours provide layers and depth, even when it comes to textiles to your home, such as made to measure curtains; in general, colour schemes help, but splashes here, and there are also needed for balance.

Embrace neutrals

When adding colours to your home, don’t be afraid of anything neutral. In fact, this is something that you should try to embrace. Neutrals are great; they blend in and are far from boring. A neutral colour scheme is a great way to add a touch of sophistication to your interiors. It can help create a warm and inviting mood in any room. These colours never seem to get tired, so you can use them in your home for many years to come.

Choosing a neutral colour palette is the first step in a successful home design. You can also mix different shades of the same neutral to create a layered effect. If your neutral wall is white, you can choose a shade that is a few shades darker for a richer, more sophisticated look. Overall, this is a palette that truly doesn’t need to be boring.

Focus on cohesion

If there are too many colours, and nothing matches then your home isn’t going to look the best. If you want your home to have a cohesive colour scheme, there are some simple steps to follow. The best way to create a cohesive home is to choose a style that suits your personality and lifestyle.

A cohesive home with colour requires some planning and dedication. But you can do it! You just need to know what you are looking for and how you are going to achieve it. This doesn’t mean that everything needs to match perfectly, but there needs to be a seamless flow throughout your home.
