In planning my house I keep getting lost in the details, furniture and function of each room. What big-picture items should I be thinking about?
Think about the colors of the walls, floors and furnishings, so that all the rooms flow seamlessly together and your house doesn’t look like a furniture store. It’s tempting to use every color in the rainbow, but you’ll produce much more satisfying (and calming) results if you limit yourself to only two or three colors. You can vary things by using a color on the walls in one room, then the same color in the carpets or upholstery in another room, in the drapes in a third, and so on.
