Originality and creativity are having a minute: eclectic, vibrant spaces are all the rage. But though many are over matchy-matchy furniture and one-size-fits-all paint colours, some consistency throughout the residence is not something. Done right, color coordinating leads to greater circulation and a polished, cohesive interior layout.
Model-home interior designer Mary DeWalt creates designs to appeal to buyers, and one of those ways she does this is by keeping color flow throughout. “For us, picking colors is about memory,” she states. “Individuals are more likely to remember a home using a particular color scheme, because it’s different from all the rest. If buyers are looking at several houses, that all-turquoise one will stick out in their heads.”
DeWalt’s savvy color-coordinating plans can help turn a disjointed, choppy space into a flowing thought-out masterpiece, as this model home layout shows. Pick and choose the thoughts that may work for you, too.

As you create your color choices, go with what you love, not just what’s trendy. DeWalt suggests picking one two and neutral accent colours to carry throughout every area. In this home beige and dark wood are the constants, and greens and blues provide the accents.

Accessories supply the color in rooms with walls that are neutral. Here the blue and green come in throughout the cushions, throw pillows, rug and pots. Grouping accessories at threes retains tabletops interesting yet clutter free.

Not every room should include every color. With its delicate blue rug and same-stain wooden furniture, this traditional home office fits right in with the rest of the spaces in the home.

Cohesion is key, but it doesn’t mean you can not experiment with materials. Although this bedroom includes bits and pieces of this signature blue, in addition, it uses reflective accessories. The mirrored accent wall and nightstand add variety without skewing too far from the remainder of the home.

When accessories aren’t sufficient, add a wow factor, or that which DeWalt calls for a punctuation mark. The glowing blue tile backsplash adds surprise to this toilet when letting it harmonize with the rest of the home.

Even in the event that you love your color scheme, be cautious with big purchases. “Do not commit to big, vibrant furniture, because in the event that you become tired of this color, it is a great deal more costly to replace,” DeWalt says. This bedroom uses the palette with neutral furniture and blue accessories.

Game rooms and kids’ rooms are great spaces to take chances in; contemplate going bold with a brightly colored ceiling. This color matches the mosaic tile throughout, but the innovative use of paint gives the room its own unique energy.

In a darkened area, such as a hallway or an entryway, don’t feel the need to go big with color; just a hint of your palette can be sufficient. The art near this stairs gives a clue of the house’s palette.

Do not limit your color scheme to the inside — bring it to your own pool or terrace with matching tile. Using its blue tile framework and swim-up pub, this pool subtly connects with the indoor motif.

For those whose budget doesn’t include a pool renovation (or even a pool), something as simple as vibrant outdoor cushions can make sure your indoor and outdoor spaces set flawlessly.
