hear them say something about flow I always try to make the spaces I design

flow from one room to another this flow is all about making your home feel more

unified more spacious and especially more comfortable that's not to say you

can't have different colors in your home but there are key things that help bring

it all together here's how to make your home flow from one room to another

start with your flooring and keep it continuous for example wood floors that

flow through from one room to another should all be consistent I love wood

flooring because it serves as the foundation for all other finishes

finding the right stain color is key whether it's a very dark stain that

looks warm and Lux or a light natural stain that brings light and openness to

the home find that perfect shade and keep it consistent of course this

doesn't mean you shouldn't have other types of flooring in your home obviously

rooms like bathrooms laundry rooms and mud rooms have special needs and you'll

want to address these things like water resistance cleanability and durability

as much as the general aesthetic but when you have open spaces like a living

room and a kitchen great room or connecting spaces like fayez and

hallways than having one type of flooring will help navigate you through

your home with one consistent look the next important way to make your home

flow is to think about keeping your trim color consistent throughout that means

your baseboard crown moldings window and door trims are all painted in the same

color these elements literally run through your entire home so make them

consistent this doesn't mean you can't switch things up in a specific room for

instance if you have painted trim throughout your home but your library

has wood stained moldings then by all means make that whole room standout but

in this room you can make sure the flow continues by making sure the type of

moldings in this room are consistent even if the color isn't another

important element to keep consistent are interior doors and their hardware once

inside your home doors are gateways into every room in your home and make

affect the overall look and feel of your home from a very streamlined modern

style of door for a modern home or a more traditional panel door for your

traditional home whatever your style your interior doors and the style and

finish of hardware will be repeated throughout your home and for the most

part should be consistent for a very pleasing flow and finally your overall

color palette is key to making your whole home feel like it flows together

keep in mind how you walk through your home and how all the colors work

together when you're deciding on wall colors keep fabrics and carpets and

accessories in mind not just for that one room but for the whole home keep in

mind what you see from one room to another these colors don't have to be

repetitive or singular but they do need to relate to one another in other words

if you were to bring all the colors in your whole home into one room they

should all look great together in one room so here's your take away certain

elements of your home's interior run through your whole home from flooring

that connect spaces and rooms together to the type and color of your

architectural trim interior doors and hardware to your overall color palette

all of these elements should be considered as a whole individual rooms

can vary but they must have consistent elements from one room to another to

make your home feel like it flows together thanks for watching this little
