When you talk to your Sunterra builder about the interior design of your home, keep one word in mind — consistency. Consistency in interior design refers to creating a harmonious and cohesive look throughout a space. How? Here are some tips:
Define Your Style
Whether it’s contemporary, traditional, rustic or eclectic, having a defined style will guide your design decisions. Look at interior design websites and magazines. Create a lookbook so you can see how the things you love fit together.
Consider Architecture
Work with the architectural features of your home. Highlighting architectural elements or integrating them into the design can contribute to consistency.
Select Colors
Select a color palette and stick to it. Consistent use of colors creates a unified look. You can play with different shades and tones within the chosen palette.
Establish a Focal Point
Establish a focal point in each room. This could be a piece of furniture, artwork or architectural feature. Consistency in highlighting a focal point helps anchor the design.
Materials Matter
Consistency in materials — such as wood, metal and fabrics — helps create cohesion. Aim for complementary textures and finishes to tie different elements together.
Create Balance
Maintain consistency in the scale and proportion of furniture and decor items. Incorporating bold statement pieces can add interest, but balance is key. Ensure that these elements complement rather than clash with the overall design.
Yes, You Can Repeat
Introduce repeating elements or patterns throughout your space. This could be a recurring color, pattern or motif that ties different areas together.
Maintain Flow
Consider the flow between rooms. Use consistent design elements, colors or themes to create a seamless transition. Maintain consistency in flooring materials, especially in open-concept spaces. If different rooms have different flooring, consider transitional elements that create a smooth visual transition.
Art Ties Things Together
Choose art and accessories that complement the overall design. Consistency in the style, color scheme or theme of these elements enhances the overall aesthetic.
