If you’ve ever built a home you know when making your selections its important to achieve harmony throughout the whole home. Jo Simmons from Houzz UK reveals how to create a harmonious look throughout your home, below.

Designers have lots of strategies for creating a sense of harmony in a home, from repeating patterns to restricting materials. One thing they would agree on, though, is that a harmonious look is not the same as one that’s dull or predictable. Anything from super-bright colours to exposed brickwork, vibrant geometrics and textural tiles can be employed to subtly link the rooms in your home. The important thing is to use them consistently throughout a space to create a pleasant sense of cohesion.

1. Limit Materials

Using a restricted palette of materials gives your home a cohesive feel. Picking up the same accents throughout the

2. Brighten Up

Harmonious doesn’t have to mean muted. Bright colours, rolled out boldly from room to room, create a joined-up style.

3. Reveal The Bones

Taking the decision to leave some of a house’s structural elements on show – its brickwork or ironwork, for instance – can create a sense of harmony if it runs through several rooms. Leaving exposed brick walls throughout the home is a great way to add texture, and can be left in the natural finish or painted.

4. Embrace A White-Out

Perhaps the simplest way to create a sense of harmony in your home is to opt for a classic white backdrop throughout. White walls and ceilings are easy and inexpensive to pull off, and create a blank canvas against which colourful soft furnishings can stand out.

5. Add A Thread Of Black

Black is an incredibly versatile colour that helps to ground a scheme. Use it a little or a lot, from room to room, to achieve a sense of harmony.

6. Go For Geometrics

Pick a specific pattern – paisley, floral, herringbone, whatever you like – and drop it in throughout your home.

7. Try Textural Tiles

Choosing tiles that, while different shapes and colours, deliver the same feeling of texture, helps to link rooms and conjure a feeling of harmony.

8. Show Your Metal

Pick a metal you love and work it in around your home. For example light fittings, door furniture, shower heads and taps.
