Designing a coordinated home is about thinking of your house as a whole rather than a series of individual rooms.

Pick A Singular Design Aesthetic

And stick with it. For a cohesive look throughout the home, don’t vary styles from room to room. A stark, minimalist living room will feel disjointed when seen next to a cozy farmhouse-inspired kitchen. Whether you lean towards modern rustic or prefer a coastal cottage look, know your style and stay true to it.

Keep Certain Architectural Details Consistent

Whether it’s your baseboard trim or the molding around your interior door frames, pick a single style to use throughout your home. The goal is to make every room transition seamlessly to the next and feel connected.

Maintain The Overall Scale of Furnishings

Be aware of the size and proportions of items you’re placing from room to room, especially when there are clear sightlines. Seeing massive, bulky furnishings in a room adjacent to one featuring delicate and refined furniture doesn’t create balance or visual harmony. Consider the scale of each piece and how it works within the entirety of your home.

Create Continuity Without Matching Everything

Unify your home by extending a singular design element throughout to create a common thread. This can be done with an accent color, pattern or specific furniture style. Think about how this element can be repeated in different rooms in different ways. Love the blue color of your kitchen cabinets? Carry it through to your living room with the same shade of throw pillows and in your dining room with a coordinating table runner.
