Each Room's Decor Should Reflect The Entire Abode

Decorating an area doesn't stop within the confines of that room. An area sits inside the home so each room's decor should reflect the whole abode. To be able to promote tranquility the decor should flow from area to area.

Paint colors can differ from room to room but should not clash.


When painting the rooms within the abode it is important to remember that when one steps from an area they are stepping into another. Remain in the same palette of soppy colors or bold colors and do not mix them.

If you want color choose bright paint colors that contrast one another but probably complement each other as well.

Jewel tones in red, blue and purple will balance each other.
Colors of nature in brown, gold, rust and green will give you a little softness within their boldness as well as a dashing look when traveling from area to area.
Like color but maybe not on every wall, then paint the walls in every room the same soft creamy color with one accent wall of a room inside a color making sure to follow the complimenting rule.



Begin choosing decor for the abode by starting with one room and working your way out.

The lounge is a good option to start with as this is usually the first stay in entertaining guests. The decor should have colors that will blend nicely from room to room.

For those who have purples within the family room then make certain the red dining area has an accent trim in purple. Bring the red and purple into the kitchen seating upholstery using the lovely colors.

The entry or hallway can be wallpapered with a patterned paper that ties all the rooms together neatly.

Add accessories to each room that borrow colors from the other rooms. Patterned area rugs are excellent centerpieces of colorful decor.
Decor should flow into the bedroom decor as well.

Even if you want a softer tone for sleeping than a red in the family room you should use the color red for accents to tie the room into the remaining home.

Give a little red trim to a lampshade or use red for throw pillows around the bed.
A decor that flows correctly will promote relaxation and pleasure in the living space. Have a great time choosing and matching colors and furnishings. Live happily within the flow of the home rather than be afraid to dance!
