How to use primary, secondary and accent color?

This is what I usually recommend on my consultations. when designing your space, divide the colors into percentages:
65% of a dominant color
25% of a secondary color
10% of an accent color

The color of the furniture goes to the 25 percent figure and accessories like artwork and linens goes to accents with 10 percent.

5 rules for getting the home of your dream

Rule Number 01: Stop waiting for other people permission to do what feels right on your home. If you like something and it feels right to you just go for it

Rule Number 02: Be your own regulator. Edit, edit and edit your room to get a perfect place to live.

Rule Number 03: Know your style. Do you like minimalist or traditional? Are you a modern or Gothic? It would help you a lot to design your place
Rule Number 04: "If you make a compromise (selecting something cheaper than what you really like) it compromises you, because you are never really happy with the result." - Rose Cumming


Rule Number 05: Every room has its own personality, believe it and follow it

Everything HAS TO be matched?

Not at all. A common mistake that people make is getting obsess with the idea of matching. Think of decorating your home the same way you put together a nice outfit. Select texture, color and touch it with your style.
