Interior Design Tips: Make your home flow together

If you've ever spoken to a designer or heard a designer speak, inevitably you'll 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 colours 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!

Terrific designer ideas, I will usually use the same colors but different shades and hues, along with different shaded fabrics.

Also look at color swatch and use colors on that swatch which are lighter or darker to keep flow of color scheme while changing color ( lighter/darker).

Love this. This is exactly what I am working on now. Love the tip about the flow of the colors from one room to the next. Thanks

Wow what an amazing video! I don’t think I’ve seen a video more informative than this and I watch a lot!

Great video as always. I would like more detail on the color palette flow😊

Your videos are clear, concise and compelling. So glad that I found you
and them!

Thanks for addressing a topic that challenges many. Excellent tips. I appreciate the thoughtful way that you curate examples of beautiful interiors to demonstrate your points. I love the look of painted interior doors in a color other than white (e.g., black). However, I’m not sure when it is appropriate to do so (traditional vs. transitional vs. modern style?) or things to consider that may not be obvious. And how to achieve flow once you commit to painting the doors? Are there instances where an interior door can be different (e.g., pantry door)? Must the doors all have the same profile? It would be great if perhaps this can be addressed in a future video topic.

I love that your videos are short and simple. But man are there times I wish you had a TV show or something like a design dilemma series where you go into people's homes and help them with their issues (preferably on an avg person budget lol)

Thank you for the great tips! May I ask more about the colour palette? You said:

"These colours don't have to be repetitive or singular but they do need to relate to one another."
"If you were to bring all the colors in your whole home into one room, they should all look great together in one room."

Is / Are there any rule(s) I can use to find a good colour palette? How do I make them look great together?

Thanks a million!

Your library? Oh yes my library! I have a spare room full of books. Even though I have a smart phone, laptop and Kindle!

Video on doors please. One type of door per video.

Great tip as usual! I think your videos are unique because you break down complex issue (design) into understandable pieces. You share principles instead of trends(only). While watching your videos I feel like I am somewhere in a design school. Thank you for that!

I've learned so much from you! From color, to laundry rooms and everything in between. Always great information on point. Thank you!

Hi! I have an seemingly to be unfixable issue, My condo is monochrome and with all good intentions my mother bought me a sofa (curved in style) but its a shade of grey that's not found anywhere else in my home, it almost has a purple hue and i've thought well throw pills could anchor it but I don't know what to do. help?

Question: I have 2 windows on the same wall but in different rooms. How do I match the colors?

[bluecraneinterior]

Another great tip, when do we able to know that our course is finished 😃 As you always amaze us by simple yet useful topic

You had mentioned in your video about keeping the hardware the same colour in your home, does this go for the kitchen cupboard handles as well? I am having bronze door handles but thinking of going with copper cupboard handles, will this still flow?

My home was built in 1900, so my larger size entry room is a wide spaced wood floor, and my dining room is a narrow spaced wood floor. Both original to the home. My problem is that they both connect to the kitchen! I have to replace my kitchen floor and am struggling with how to make it flow. The normal flow of traffic is entry, kitchen and into the dining room. Any suggestions? Thanks! Love your channel!

Hi, just love your ideas, I am colouring my home with monochromatic design with various shades of beige and white, what other colours can I use to break the monotony and so that it doesn't look boring, please suggest
