Picking paint colors that flow through the whole house

Have you always wondered how to seamlessly transition your paint colors so they flow beautifully from one room to the next? Warm colors fall into the red, orange, and yellow families: Creams, beiges, or tans. The warm or cool tone of greige depends on whether or not the undertones are yellow or blue.

If you have wood-finished cabinets in the kitchen, you can bring those wood tones throughout the house with your trim.

Using the same flooring throughout the house, like a ceramic plank or carpeting, will tie your color scheme together. A beige throw or rug can be a lot more interesting if you select one that has texture.

Chunky knits and frayed fabrics on a throw or rug dress up an area without becoming a jarring color addition. A stunning jewel-tone purple in the powder room is a great idea, but putting that color in a playroom with three windows will look completely different.

Go ahead and paint a dramatic black powder room and do one wall in a spectacularly colored wallpaper.

Don’t shy away from big paintings or large textile hangings.

Bright fluffy towels in the bathroom can be great accessories, and you can dress your bed in gorgeous colored spreads and accent pillows. You can pick a warm or cool neutral and dress it up or down, depending on your taste.
