When decorating a home, it’s normal to incorporate your own personal spin on the design. However, it can be challenging to make sure it’s cohesive throughout the space. Your color selections should match, from your furniture to any original art. Here are some tips to ensure you have the perfect outcome.

How to Ensure Your Interior Design is Consistent

1. Assess Sight Lines

Stand in the center of your living room and see what other rooms are visible. These are your sight lines, and in general, it’s best to use colors that coordinate in these areas. Selecting a flow-through paint color can unify these rooms. For example, if your flow-through color is burgundy, you can feature it on accents, furniture, artwork, and window treatments in different areas of your home. 

2. Choose a Single Accent Color

Bright accents add visual interest to conservatively styled rooms. Some people prefer neutral wall colors, like off-white, gray, and beige. While neutrals are perfectly acceptable in the home, they should be accompanied by brighter, bolder accent colors. For example, pair off-white walls with bright red accents in throw pillows, area rugs, and artwork.

3. Make Enclosed Spaces Bold

Enclosed spaces, such as bathrooms or children’s playrooms, have more leeway since they’re not visible from the rest of the home. Experiment with livelier design in these areas. For example, yellow is ideal for brightening up a small half-bath, and pink and purple are great for kids' rooms.

Bold accessories also work well in enclosed rooms since they won’t disrupt the color flow. Hanging a brightly colored antique print in a closed-off room imbues it with drama and style. Other accessories also work well, such as vases or art deco lamps.
