Double Complementary Schemes. Complementary times two. A double complementary color scheme doubles your decorating pleasure by giving you four colors from which to choose. The geometric area rug with complementary copper and khaki colors not only grounds the room and attracts the eye but also serves as inspiration for the wall color. The complementary colors represented by the peach pashmina throw and blue denim bed skirt add visual interest to the room without making it feel busy.
	Hint: To achieve color balance in any color scheme, try the 60/30/10 approach. The largest color area is the walls, which account for 60 percent of a room's color. The second largest color area, 30 percent, will include window treatments, upholstery or floor covering. Accents make up the remaining 10 percent of color in a room.
