It is always confusing when we decide to modify the decor in the house, especially when it comes to color. We often turn to a friend for help in matters of interior decoration or arranging space. Our friend this time is 60:30:10. What can this friend offer us?
What is 60:30:10
The 60:30:10 theory is a theory in color science and interior design that proposes distributing colors in an interior space in certain proportions. First, let us know that these numbers indicate the percentage of color presence in the room as follows:
60% is usually of the dominant color.
30% is secondary color.
10% is the distinctive color or key color.
How to apply this
Determining the dominant, secondary and key colors can help create balance and harmony in the interior design of the home, and is easier to apply when the colors are in harmony with each other.
Dominant color: This color is considered the primary color that dominates the entire room, and is often used on walls and floors. The dominant color is chosen based on the furniture and accessories in the room, as it must match them and not conflict with them.
Secondary color: This color is used to add a touch of liveliness and diversity to the room, and can be used in furniture, accessories, and fine details, such as pillows, curtains, and covers. The secondary color is chosen based on the main dominant color, as it must be consistent and compatible with it.
Key color: This color is used sparingly to highlight some important parts of the room and give contrast and a final effect to the design, such as pieces of art, beautiful accessories, or some distinctive pillows. The key color must be chosen carefully, as it must compliment the dominant color and the secondary color and be suitable for the parts you want to highlight.
The result!
The 60:30:10 theory provides many benefits when applied to interior design, including:
Coordinate colors well: By identifying dominant, secondary and key colors, this system helps provide good color coordination within a home, offices or institutions.
Create visual balance: The theory can be used to create a visual balance between dominant, secondary and key color.This balance creates a calm and comfortable environment for the eyes.
Maintain focus: By using neutral color furniture cushions, the focus can be kept on the main space and important features of the room rather than introducing color noise.
Facilitating coordination of interior decoration: This system can also be used to facilitate overall interior decoration, as it can help determine the location of each piece of furniture and distribute colors to all spaces.
Getting rid of excessive colors: This ratio helps avoid excessive colors and avoid a design that looks chaotic or cluttered.
Add calmness: The theory can be used to bring calm and relaxation into environments that require concentration and calm such as offices and bedrooms.
Applying the 60:30:10 theory helps create a harmonious and comfortable interior environment for the eyes, while adding aesthetic appeal to the interior design of homes, offices and institutions.
