One of the most challenging parts of a whole-home remodel is making sure every space is tied together. A home with no continuity can feel disjointed or even uncomfortable to be in. That’s why you need to make a few key choices in terms of materials and finishes to bring cohesion to every space. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Central Texas, one of the top home remodeling contractors in the area, explains more.
Home Design Elements to Consider
To achieve continuity in your whole-home remodel, here are some home design elements to think about:
- Color. Repeating a color within a room or around your home several times tells your eyes that the spaces belong together. This means using different hues or shades of your desired main color.
- Pattern. Just like color, using a certain pattern for a specific feature in your home can also create continuity.
- Architecture. An architectural element in your home, from molding to the hardware, can be repeated to bring greater continuity.
- Accessories. Matching two interior fixtures can likewise draw your gaze around the room, as long as they are the same color scheme or shape.
- Style. Pick a style, like a shape of furniture, that can pull everything else together.
The key here is to not overdo elements to the point that you become distracted. The goal of your home remodeling project is to create a space that looks polished, feels comfortable and carries thoughtful intention.
Features to Create Continuity
Continuity in home design is all about the sum of many different parts, from the big areas to the tiniest details, that make up a whole. Create a seamless connection with these features:
Hard Flooring
While it makes sense to use the same flooring treatment throughout the space you are working on, you can also maintain a sense of continuity with two or more flooring materials. For instance, use stone or tile for your home’s entry and mudroom, and wood floor for the rest of your home.
Window Treatments
Whether it’s Roman or honeycomb shades, a window treatment style is all it takes to connect every room in your home. These fixtures work with any room decor, giving you room for personalization without making your home look out of place.
Lighting
The right lighting can transform any room into an appealing, well-defined space. Be consistent about your choice though—shifting from soft lighting in one room to a brighter, more glaring one in another can be hard on the eyes. Continuity through lighting can be achieved if you are working on an open floor plan.
