"Color" Distribution Rule In A Room

Color Mapping -

  • 60% of one predominant color (most likely will be the walls)
  • 30% of another color (upholstery, drapes, bedding, etc.)
  • 10% of an accent color (art, pillows, blankets, etc.)

When transitioning from one room to another one of those colors should be carried into the next room to connect the space.  For example:  the 10% could be "Red" in one room and in the next room it could be 60% "Red" with 30% and 10% of a totally different color than the first room.  But the eye still will flow through the space.

Tips for Pairing Patterns

1.  Rule of 3's:  Select a minimum of three patterns, making sure that at least one pattern is half the size of the
     remaining two.
2.  Watch your tones:  Mixing in pieces that share similar wood tones brings balance to patterns, while
     adding a modern sophistication to a sparwling space. This is especially true when the finishes are on the
     darker side.
3.  Room to Rest:  When you use multiple patterns, its best to find a place for the eye to rest.  It could be as
     simple as a muted floral on the coffee table or simple rug.
