Cohesive interior design has been a popular design style for decades for a reason. It helps to create a unifying flow from room to room, making your home feel spacious, elegant, and connected. This seamless blending establishes a calming atmosphere as you move from space to space. While there are various ways to incorporate a cohesive design into your home, our team at The Painted Horse recommends three specific methods.

Establish a Cohesive Color Palette with Benjamin Moore Paint

Gone are the days of painting one room with two or three colors. Homes drenched in a wide variety of paint colors feel choppy and unsettling. Selecting one color, whether it’s a calming neutral or an intense bold, will help you establish a cohesive color foundation. You can also use different shades of the same color to create a flowing movement from area to area. If you do want to establish a focal point, use wallpaper or create a gallery wall rather than using a second or third color.

At The Painted Horse, we proudly carry the Benjamin Moore Paint Collection, home to over 3500 gorgeous paint hues. Use our handy Paint Visualizer to explore different color families and collections that inspire you to create a cohesive color palette.

Use Consistent Window Treatments

Paint isn’t the only way to create a cohesive interior design. The window treatments in your home are one of the most essential features as they add the final touch to the overall aesthetic. For a cohesive strategy, select one style of window dressing for your entire home to add thematic harmony. For example, an adjoined living room and dining room can have wooden blinds to create cohesion between the spaces.

We carry a vast collection of Hunter Douglas window treatments, including blinds, shades, and shutters. One of our friendly team members can demonstrate all the different styles so you can make an informed and inspired decision for the right type and style for your cohesive look.

Mix and Match Your Furnishings for a Cohesive Look

You might think that selecting the same style of furnishings would be an emblem of cohesive design, but that is quite the contrary. Since you have established unity with a sound color palette and consistent window treatments, mixing and matching vintage with modern or traditional furniture in each room will provide a unique twist and flair. Veer away from heavily matching sets of furniture. Too much consistency can create a flat space and take away from the overall design of your home.
