What is the 60 30 10 rule in interior design?

The 60-30-10 rule in interior design is a classic decorating concept used to create a balanced color palette in a room. It works as follows:   <ol><li>60% - Dominant Color: This is typically the primary color in your space and covers about 60% of the room. It's often found on walls, large accent pieces, and area rugs.</li><li>30% - Secondary Color: This color takes up about 30% of the room. It supports the dominant color but is different enough to create visual interest. It's usually found in upholstery, smaller furniture, and curtains.</li><li>10% - Accent Color: This is the boldest color in your palette and is used sparingly, taking up about 10% of the space. It's used in accessories like cushions, artwork, and decorative items.</li></ol>   This rule helps in achieving a balanced, cohesive look in any room.
