Not every home has a unifying color theme, but without one it can be easy for a house to feel disjointed or erratic. A color palette can unify a home’s design so that it flows easily from one room to another, but that does not mean that each room has to be decorated in exactly the same colors. In this house, for instance, grey creates a throughline within the home but does not overwhelm the design. Instead, it creates a foundation for each room so that the overall look is comforting and harmonious — without being too “matchy-matchy.” Take a look inside this home from visualizer Andrei Lychkouski to see what we mean.

In the dining area, open to the kitchen, a smattering of pendant lights add a bit of interest as well.

The kitchen itself is not particularly spacious, but the use of natural light and a bar/island mean there is room to do the work required for cooking.

Moving into one of the two children’s rooms, colors are quite a bit brighter.
