How do I decorate my home keeping the flow consistent?

Question by Shannon: How do I decorate my home keeping the flow consistent?
I don’t want each room in my home to look the same but at the same time, I’d like to avoid feeling like I live in a circus tent (ie: each room a different color/theme). Any ideas on giving each room it’s own feel while maintaining some unity? Thanks!

Choose the color you want as dominant then use lighter and darker shades of that color in different rooms. You can also use two shades in the same room if you have a chair rail or wainscoting. For a focal point wall you can paint 3 walls one shade and the 4th a lighter or darker shade of the same or constasting color. You can also use this effect with one wall papered. (I don’t think wall paper is as popular this decade as in the past, but it would be ok in small doses. Using different window treatments in different bedrooms would give rooms a little individuality. I would keep the same window treatments in the living room and dining.
