Below, we’ll provide a <\/span><\/span>brief guide to decorating with neutral colors<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , taking into account the formula for proportions. This way, by using certain elements and their contrasting colors, we’ll create an atmosphere of balance and harmony.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First, we need to know what style best suits our needs and what we want to convey when we get home. Some people look for a warm and welcoming environment, others cold and spacious, others prefer to use as few decorative elements as possible, etc. Equally important is knowing the space and materials we have available.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once we know this, we must choose which colors we want to use. To do this, you must <\/span><\/span>know the neutral colors that exist<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , although they are basically all those that are part of nature. The main neutral colors are brown, black, white, gray, earth tones, cream, beige, powder pink, pearly blue, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Choose a color scheme, up to a maximum of four neutral colors and one accent color. The latter is characterized by being the color that stands out among the other colors, used to draw attention to a specific area.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once we’ve chosen the colors we want to use, we’ll apply the proportion formula I mentioned earlier to the <\/span><\/span>guide for decorating with neutral colors<\/span><\/span><\/strong> . This formula is composed of 60% of the primary color + 30% of the secondary color + 10% of the accent color. You can always choose your primary, secondary, and accent colors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
