Mengapa Cocok
Color affects mood, perceived space, and visual harmony. The 60-30-10 rule provides a reliable framework: 60% dominant color (walls, large furniture), 30% secondary color (curtains, accent chairs, rugs), and 10% accent color (throw pillows, art, accessories). This ratio creates visual balance that the eye finds naturally pleasing. Cool colors (blues, greens, grays) recede and make spaces feel larger. Warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) advance and create intimacy.

Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
What is the 60-30-10 rule in interior design?
It means 60% of the room should be a dominant color (usually walls and large furniture), 30% should be a secondary color (curtains, rugs, accent furniture), and 10% should be an accent color (pillows, art, small accessories). This ratio creates natural visual balance.
How many colors should a room have?
Three to five colors work best. One dominant neutral, one secondary color for interest, and one or two accent colors for pops of personality. Too many colors create visual chaos; too few feel sterile.
Should I choose warm or cool colors for my room?
It depends on the room purpose and natural light. Bedrooms and living rooms benefit from warm tones that create intimacy. Bathrooms and offices often feel cleaner with cool tones. North-facing rooms need warm colors to compensate for blue-toned light.
