TIPS FOR USING AN ANALOGOUS COLOR SCHEME

Peña's main caution is that you are careful not lớn overdo it. Look lớn nature lớn inspire your palette, and understand that smaller touches of this color scheme, with neutrals as a base, can go a long way. "Selecting shades of the colors that are more muted can be a successful way lớn pull off a design with analogous colors," Peña says. "Also using the analogous colors as the accent colors in an otherwise more neutral palette can be a great way lớn design a space that is not overwhelming with color."

Many designers apply the 60-30-10 rule, which is used ensure a peaceful, visually appealing balance. Under this rule, 60% of your space will be the base color, 30% will be your accent color, and 10% will be you pop of color. To simplify this rule even further, here are the areas in which you should focus on using each of these colors:

60%: Walls, area rugs, large furniture.
30%: Accent chairs, window treatments, bedding, rugs.
10%: Throw pillows, art, accessories.
