267 // Feeling stuck decorating your open concept home? 3 tips to keep it cohesive

Hey friend!

Does the idea of a home with an open concept sound nice until it comes time to decorating? 

 

Open concepts sound nice, but how do you create a home that looks curated, nuanced and cohesive when it's all essentially one big room? And how do you do that without just getting matching everything?

In this podcast I'm sharing three ways you can unify your space intentionally without being matchy-matchy. 

1. Focus on the foundation: The foundation of your home is the floor and walls. Walls include window treatments. Keeping base colors the same (i.e. in area rugs and curtains), choosing a color palette and using it throughout the open concept and using the same curtain rods, shades, etc. all help create cohesiveness. 

2. Repeat MACRO and MICRO design elements: Large design elements like wood tones, metals, colors, textures are easy to repeat. When you master that, take it a step further by focusing on the micro design elements - the more subtle = the more nuanced. The more nuanced = the more elevated. 

3. Look for the outliers: Try finding the things that no longer belong and remediate them by removing them or intentionally adding additional items to make the outlier fit in.
