Making Three Adjoining Rooms Cohesive

My client Katie has a floor plan with three adjoining rooms - her front room, her family/TV room, and her kitchen. We wanted each room to have it's own feel, however they needed to also be cohesive. We did this by using one main color scheme: yellow, blue, green, and gray. However, each room highlights the colors differently.

 The front room is yellow, gray, and blue.  (The quatrefoil pattern seen here represents a plastic room divider that Katie is custom ordering to be placed between her front room and family room.)Katie L. - Front Room

The family room uses mainly blues and greens. Katie L. - Family Room

And the kitchen uses all the colors; but sparingly so as to avoid the three spaces getting too busy. The kitchen also includes a small desk/office area. Katie L. - Kitchen and Desk Area


Out of respect for my client who paid for the room boards, I won't be posting a full source list, but feel free to e-mail me if you have a question about a specific item. Thanks!

  1. So gorgeous! Everything looks great together and has such a light fresh feel. I really love the birch tree trunk art and those striped canisters. Nicely done.

  4. Love! I especially love the white/black roman shade idea for the kitchen - I've been hemming and hawing what to do for window treatments (and also have a bluish/greenish/yellow kitchen thing going on) and those seem that they'd work well even when I make tweeks to the colors every so often.

  5. I love how the greens and blues work together! We recently posted a piece about how to create a distinct dining area in an open floor plan, like the one you worked on here.

    Let us know what you think and if you have any other ideas: http://www.furniture.com/blog/interior-design-and-furniture-qanda/dining-rooms

  6. I love how you combine the color schemes for each room. I never thought that they would work out beautifully when blended together in a room.

  7. I love the dotty-bubbles artwork from the living room -- can you tell me where you got it? I have those same colors in my living area (with the blues coming in from the adjoining office) -- but now I'm trying to segue into our fugly dining room. I wish you lived closer- I'd hire you in a heartbeat! Love your style!!
