By the time I got a majority of my house done, I was tired of my accent color. How do I go about cheaply/easily changing it without doing an entire overhaul of my house?

This was great!

I especially loved that you mentioned using the same style and color palette throughout. If you keep this uppermost in your mind, any home can look lovely. It doesn’t get boring as some might think, either, because there are so many choices you can make within your desired style. Your style might be eclectic, with a blend of traditional and modern, but if you do that across all rooms, you are winning. You can play with it, selling some things so you can buy others, slowly working toward that balance throughout.

When I discovered your channel, it changed my life. You’re truly the most kindest, caring, honest & sweetest person in the whole world 🥹 I am so thankful you have a KZread channel that inspires so many people including myself 👏❤️

I love the sage greens. I never get tired of the greens. I love them with white, creams and taupes.

So many good tips here! I'm getting overwhelmed, because I have an entire townhouse to decorate. I love so many styles and really need to narrow it down.

Yes sounds like you're using the decorating style of the 70's... we did each room with a different theme and different floor treatment, YIKES! Being cohesive is so much better and calming.

Have you ever thought about doing virtual consultations and designing remotely? Just because I'd be very interested to see the different designs and processes.

I'm liking the color palate idea/notion. Excellent information. It can get overwhelming in stores but sticking to your color palate eliminates a-lot of unusable items and makes much easier purchasing decisions.

I totally agree about staying within a color palette in your home, otherwise it certainly would be choppy, confusing, and with a whole lot of lotta going on. As for lighting, they say that softer lighting can also take years off you - fading wrinkles. Thank you for your great videos! It's always such a pleasure hearing from you!💐

I need to change a couple of my lightbulbs to a soft white. Thanks for the tip.

Your amazing Kristen. Love , love, love, listening to you share your talents...

This is my first time watching your videos and I’m completely obsessed 😍

*Color Palette* . I have a semi-open concept living room, dining room and kitchen. Sticking with a cohesive color scheme has been game changing. I like to mix the concentration between spaces using a ratio like 80:50:20 or a similar combination. Repetition is also crucial. I used copper as a metallic accent in my fall styling. I find it very pleasing to the eye to see a bit sprinkled around in the vignettes I created.

I plan to use the same color theme through out as well as the same color curtain rods and curtains, I want to change out the hardwares such as door knobs, faucets etc but it all adds up so I will see.

I’m honestly learning so much from you. Thank you!!!!

Yessss love the cohesive palette idea. This will help me so much! Best takeaway from the video was the lamp shades. I definitely have some work to do there. 😉

Kristen, as always thank you for the helpful tips especially when it comes to lighting. It makes a big difference and warm lighting will make an impact.

Hey Kristen! I was wondering if you could make a video covering the Japandi design style. If you could that would be awesome!!! Your videos are just so helpful.

I love their home

Never thought about the lamp shades before, but wow you’re so right!

Thank you Kristen, for the advice.

Fantastic information. You are spot on in your advice.

U r really really creative... Now whenever i decorate my house .. U r ides are always on my minds... Thanks u.. Lots of love from india...

Thanks for all your great tips!

Im Thinking of doing my rooms white is that a good idea

I have a lot of sage green as well in my house. I like light, calming colors for decor.

Love it. Thank you for tips.

A fabulous video, Kristen. As a fellow interior & building designer l totally agree with you. 😀

I do this in my home! Every room except my sons room. He does his own decorating in his room as he loves Anime. I love it because when you want a new look you can just swap furniture and accessories between the rooms and it looks new again I love your videos! Thanks for making them! From Auckland New Zealand

Thank you so much for the photo wall advice. Also for the lighting. I love the soft light but I find it too dark for my kitchen. I tried something new today. I just installed a new light fixture yesterday with 4 bulbs. I kept going back and forth on the lighting and decided to put 2 day and 2 soft. Omg... PERFECT. The room looks bright enough but still feels cozy.

Aah thanks for the great tips Kristen 😌❤️

Thanks for all of the great information! 😊❤😊

Thanks for the great tips! Color palette

Great ideas. Thank you!

The problem with making sure all your wood type flooring matches, is that if you don’t buy it all at once, they discontinue it all the time. Its really difficult to match later on when you have the money to do another connecting room.

Great tips! We are getting ready to do some painting inside our home and I found this video very helpful.

Thanks ♥️♥️

I would say that this is possibly the very best video I’ve seen on home decor! thank you so much Kristen..

I love this in theory, but I study history, the things I collect are from different eras and regions, so I’ve decided to create areas within my home that reflect my favourite periods: Baroque, Edwardian, post war French farmhouse, a little bit of vintage cutesy (think mint and chrome toaster), and there is an element of a rustic, weary traveller in there. It’s very eclectic and I’m struggling to keep every room of my home the same colour because it’s very much like a museum now full of interesting things and furnishings I’ve acquired over the years from some equally interesting people. Because the items are significantly older than most peoples homes they have even more interesting stories which I thoroughly enjoy researching. I’ve joked that when I go for a job as a museum curator:guide I will use my home as part of my resume 😅 As a result my home feels like it’s never finished, but I’m sort of okay with that. Now the problem is trying to incorporate my husbands darker MCM decor, and my mum’s insistance on her guest bedroom in the house being Japanese minimalist. I swear I need another house 😂

I probably have too many color themes and the kids just coordinate with the characters they want in their bedroom but I’m fine with that. I find it a little refreshing to have a neutral entry and turquoise and brown and red orange in my living room and purple in my kitchen and red and black in my bedroom. Each room is used differently so why not have a different feel? I guess this is a level of design I’m not quite gonna hit😂

I agree completely. I don't think there has to be the same theme throughout the house. Like you, I have orange in my sitting room, with forest green, purple theme in my kitchen, fuschia with silver in my hall, and blush pink with whites in my bedroom. Each room can be individual and still look really nice.

I’ve watched stacks of interior design videos about cohesion. I always got the idea but couldn’t put it into practice. Your video was perfect! It’s like it has finally clicked with me. Thanks Kristen 🤎 I’ve jotted down those tips. Yay!! X

Wonderful video… We have been in our home for 40 years.. About 8 yrs ago we started to redecorate and doing what you talked about in this video… Making things look cohesive.. It really takes time.. Determining our style has been a challenge since my husband likes a different style than me.. Trying to meet in the middle.

Very useful video as always! 🥰

Thank you for explaining this so clearly. I just found your channel through your "10 Interior Design Styles Explained" video and I immediately subscribed. My home needs so much help!! I've collected so many things through the years and my husband and I have family pieces that are sentimental but nothing really goes together. I pretty much need all these tips, but I think I'll start with a color palette and working in one room and go from there. This video is so helpful!!

Re: cohesive practices in decorating your home; what are your thoughts on window treatments? Should all windows have the same treatments, like shutters, Roller shades, Drapes etc?

What a wonderful video with such great info. Thank you for sharing. Could you tell me what design style you follow in your home? It is gorgeous.

I really enjoy your channel Kristen. I have always been interested in interior design, and focused on making my home appealing yet cozy. My style is a combination of boho and farmhouse, with some Japanese and Scandinavian elements mixed in. Might sound non-cohesive, but these different design styles really blend well and compliment one another if you choose your pieces carefully. I love your tips, and have incorporated many of your suggestions. We actually seem to think a lot alike, and many of your ideas are things that I've always done instinctively. I really think you're one of the best interior designers out there, and that you have a natural knack for your craft 🙂

Sage green is my favorite, also. Can you suggest some paints that you’ve found in this gorgeous color? And also a good cream/off white that goes with it? Thanks!

I really like your videos but this one I think is super!!! I am trying to refresh a little bit my home, change the colour scheme to a more natural and grey tones, so I am just jump into the two other videos of yours that you are suggesting. And a question. That design style is your home? Thank you for your excellent advises ❤️

Soo smart

Great tips! Any link to your cute top??

A paint color expert pointed out that the importance of maintaining consistent tonality throughout the home to achieve “flow” - even if you enjoy using different colors throughout the house. So if you’re using a clear yellow in the entry, using mauve or grey in the adjacent room would look odd. In that case an apple green would work better. Dusty/muted colors should stay with one another, jewel tones, too. As for me, I think unifying a home with one color palette is boring. However, I do believe in the importance of carrying one or two colors from one room to the next. So if the living room is pink/green/lavender, the dining room can be green/pink/gold - and the kitchen gold/green. Green unifies the rooms on the main floor - but a different color takes the lead in each.

Thanks for another great video! What is the plant you have behind you? I love it!

Hi Kristen, Could you share your choice of white paint that you you use in your home. And thank you so much for all of your interior design advice. I have learned so much from your videos.! Than You, Sara from NH

So much good information for decorating in one video! Having the flooring be consistent throughout the home is very good advice. Too many homes look choppy because each room has different flooring. A home looks more cohesive if you stick to one flooring, or maybe two if there is a door. Never knew that was a rule before but it makes a lot of sense.

Hi Kristen, how many color would you say a color palette should have? Do you have a video on how to select a color pallet, like select a dark and a light and a mid tone. How do I approach it? I find myself just gravitating to blue but not sure what to add to it.

I’m going to look through my home and see if it’s cohesive. Because I’m not really sure. Thanks for a great video.

Hi Kristen great video, I have a playlist of so many of your videos. I am currently 8n the process of building a home which will be finished soon. ❓❓❓I bought the IKEA Hilja curtains to use in every single room of my house with black curtain rods. Do you think that will look nice and elegant?

Can u help me how to organise my Double wardrobe with 4 square departments down the side

I am in. I have a small home, painted 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen. Waiting to paint living and dining room for crown molding removal, but I am driven to get shit done because I am not getting any younger lol but, the lighting deal is confusing lol when I was younger, light bulbs were incandescent and wattage was the selection. What the hell, need to find the soft closest to incandescent.. need some feedback here. Thanks for all the ideas

Hi i like transitional and industrial style how do i incorporate this in to my space ?

What motorized window shades do you use?

Can you tell me the paint colour you used on your wall in your living room? Great tips btw!

My color pallet in my condo (front area) are walls painted in a honey neutral wall paint with white trim with a soft teal as accent. The guest bedroom and bathroom (back area) are painted in a sky blue with white trim and with an area rug in the blue/white/honey/tan colors. This is the public area and is contemporary in look. Our primary bedroom is also painted in the light honey colored paint with white trim-and a solid gold/tan area rug. I have a medium wood laminate throughout the entire condo except for the white tile flooring in kitchen and guest bathroom. The ensuite is in the back of the condo and guests do not see this and the colors are soft browns tans/and a muted teal/gray tiles against dark cabinet and with white double sink. All the handles and pulls throughout are a sterling silver tone and all the doors are painted white like the trim.

Excellent advise!! My sentiments exactly!! It drives me crazy when I walk into a house and there’s 15 different colors on the walls… It makes me a nervous wreck! And it also makes me crazy when people have 15 million junk objects… somebody has to clean around all that nonsense 😂🤣😂🙄😉
