The Designer's Secret:
The 60-30-10 Rule
Ever wonder why professional spaces look so perfectly balanced, while DIY rooms often feel chaotic or flat? The secret isn't matching everything perfectly—it's proportion.
The 60-30-10 rule is the golden ratio of interior design. It dictates how much of a room should be covered by your dominant, secondary, and accent colors to create instant harmony.
