Living Room Colour Tips
Start with your sofa
Your largest piece of furniture anchors the palette. Build outward from its dominant colour.
The 60-30-10 rule
60% dominant (walls/floors), 30% secondary (large furniture), 10% accent (art, cushions, accessories).
Add texture before colour
Visual interest comes from texture as much as colour. Mix matte and gloss surfaces before adding new hues.
Test in natural light
Colours read very differently in morning, afternoon, and evening light. Test paint samples for 48 hours before committing.
