Cinnamon is the key to creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in your home. Discover how to use this versatile shade and how to combine it boldly for extraordinary results.
It owes its name to the oriental spice of the same name .
The name cinnamon comes from the straw-like shape, similar to a small reed, in which this spice is marketed, but the English translation, “cinnamon” has its origins in Arabic and means “fragrant plant”.
Although cinnamon has been known for millennia, the color cinnamon, along with other spicy shades such as paprika, turmeric, and caramel, has only recently gained popularity in interior decoration.
Let's see together how to use cinnamon color at home
Like all bold shades, it is best to use it in moderation, following the 60-30-10 rule, that is:
- 60 % for the main color (such as walls, floors and the most important furnishings);
- 30 % for secondary color (fabrics, carpets, decorative elements);
- 10 % for the contrasting color and complementary shades to emphasize in some home decor details.
The ideal cinnamon color is to stay within 10% and perhaps add a few more details, such as some of the decorations on the cushions, or if the rug has decorations, a touch of cinnamon.
What makes this color unique is its ability to adapt and create beautiful mixes with other colors, both warm and cool.
