Planning a whole-home remodel is an exciting proposition. It is also quite challenging to take on such a large project! One issue a lot of homeowners face when remodeling their entire home is a lack of unity in the overall theme or design of the space. Trying to create a cohesive design throughout your entire home can be a bit tricky, so it’s important that you plan carefully. Working closely and communicating with your home remodeler is key if you want to achieve unity.
To help you achieve a space that doesn’t feel like it was randomly patched together, here are a few tips you can follow.
Design Tips
Stick to a Single Trim Color
Sticking to a single trim color is a good way to create unity. Painting your window frames, doors and baseboards the same color gives them a more polished look. Repeating the treatment throughout your entire house can help tie everything together and give it a sense of cohesion, even if you do plan to decorate the rooms differently.
Use the Same Window Treatments
It’s also a good idea to choose a single window treatment to connect your rooms together. Classic window treatments include plantation shutters, roman shades and floor-length curtains. You can choose colors individually to complement the existing colors in the room.
Be Consistent With Lighting
While we do recommend having a few statement pieces like colorful pendant lights, fun lampshades or elaborate chandeliers to highlight specific areas, you’ll want to keep most of your lighting consistent and low-key. Be sure to work with your home renovator and plan your lighting carefully.
Choose a Go-to Hue
Lastly, pick a primary paint color to use as a “room unifier”. Don’t worry about being redundant because the color doesn’t have to be exactly the same in every room. You can choose shades of the same hue or analogous hues to create diversity.
