Cinnamon is the key to creating warm and cozy atmospheres 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” comes from Arabic and means “scented plant”.
Although cinnamon has been known for thousands of years, 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 for cinnamon color is to fall within 10% and maybe in some more details, for example in some decorations of the cushions, or if the carpet 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.
