How should I distribute colors in my living room?

Use the 70-20-10 rule: 70% lightest colors for walls and ceiling (main surfaces), 20% medium tones for furniture and flooring, and 10% darkest colors for accents and decorative items.

Which colors should I use for walls and ceiling?

Use the lightest colors from your palette for walls and ceiling. These should represent about 70% of your color distribution and serve as the foundation for your room's color scheme.

Can I use these colors in a small living room?

Yes! Lighter colors from this palette will make a small living room feel more spacious, while darker accent colors add depth without overwhelming the space. Use the 70-20-10 rule for best results.

What furniture colors match this palette?

Choose furniture in the medium tones from this palette (representing 20% of your color distribution). Neutral furniture works well with bolder wall colors, while colorful furniture pairs best with neutral walls.

What colors work best for moroccan style?

Moroccan style works best with calming color combinations that create a harmonious and balanced atmosphere. These colors complement the aesthetic perfectly.

Are these colors suitable for summer?

Yes! This palette is specifically designed with summer vibes in mind, featuring colors that capture the essence and mood of the season while remaining timeless and versatile.

Test in Natural Light

Always observe how colors from this moroccan palette look throughout the day. Natural lighting dramatically affects color perception, especially in a living room.

Layer Your Colors

Create depth by using multiple shades from the palette. Start with lighter tones for larger surfaces and gradually introduce darker calming accents.

Consider Room Size

In smaller living rooms, use lighter palette colors to expand the space visually. Save darker tones for accent walls or decorative elements.

Balance Color Temperature

Mix warm and cool tones from this palette to achieve a calming atmosphere that feels neither too cold nor too warm.

Use Paint Samples

Before committing to full living room painting, test large swatches on different walls to see how the moroccan colors interact with your lighting.

Match Existing Elements

Coordinate palette colors with fixed elements like flooring, countertops, or built-in furniture to create a cohesive moroccan design.

Ignoring Lighting Conditions

The biggest mistake is choosing colors without testing them in your living room's actual lighting. What looks perfect in a store may appear completely different in your space with dim lighting lighting.

Using Too Many Colors

Stick to the 70-20-10 rule with this palette. Using all colors equally creates visual chaos instead of the intended calming atmosphere. Let one or two colors dominate.

Forgetting About Undertones

Many living room color schemes fail because undertones clash. Ensure all palette colors have compatible undertones to maintain the moroccan aesthetic.

Painting Before Furnishing

Don't paint your living room before knowing your furniture choices. It's easier to match paint to furniture than the other way around, especially with moroccan pieces.

Neglecting the Ceiling

The ceiling is the fifth wall of your living room. Using the lightest palette color on the ceiling can enhance the calming and make the space feel larger.

Skipping Sample Testing

Never trust digital screens or small paint chips alone. Always test actual paint samples on your walls to see how this moroccan palette works in your specific environment.
