Around 60% of the room is the dominant colour, usually the walls. About 30% is a secondary colour carried by large furnishings or a feature wall. The final 10% is the accent: cushions, artwork, a painted alcove, or lamp bases.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treat it as a guide, not a rule to apply to the millimetre.
