consider the sightlines
Link neighboring rooms by the intelligent placement of furniture. These two areas work together so well as the coffee table was aligned with the dining table next, which in turn lines perfectly with the kitchen furniture and hanging lamps. Sketch plans showing where to place the furniture at an early stage will have a huge impact on the stream.

Connect inside out
Sightlines continue outside, too, and the best way to unify these areas is choosing the right floor. Direct the eye by laying wooden floors inside in the same direction as outdoor decking. You can also cover the areas with the same tiles, ensuring the grout lines correspond - although you need a more durable finish and weatherproof outside.

attach all neighboring spaces with touches of color. Here, a pink backsplash in the kitchen and a pink sofa in the room using the area to unify a large open room. If you get bored easily, do the same with accessories or flowers instead because they can be changed more easily.

painting baseboards
Stressing an architectural element that runs throughout your home, such as baseboards, bring instantaneous flow. It is also a relatively simple way to revamp your house every few years as new trends in paint colors attract the eye.

Opt for arcades
Removing doors and creating arches instead is a great way to create flow between living spaces. Some passages seem to be nothing but a corridor with many doors to other rooms. Removing some of these doors instantly makes the corridor under a separate channel and an extension of your reception.

Banish bands threshold
removing doors between key living space is one thing, but most people would consider removing the doors of the rooms a bit too far! However, you can still create flow between the sleeping areas and the rest of the house by giving bands threshold and using the same wooden floor on the landing and in all rooms.

Repeat architectural features
If you live in a period house, you might be lucky enough to have a beautiful original cornicing in the reception rooms. A new mold can be created from original cornicing to use in rooms where it is missing, as the bathroom or kitchen. If cornicing missing altogether, this may be the perfect opportunity to create a ledge 'connecting' from scratch depending on the style of your home.

Expose brickwork
If you prefer an industrial environment or a rustic look, brick connect your system. Consider the exposure of a brick wall in two or three parts to create cohesion - perhaps the kitchen, the living room and master bedroom. If the masonry is not up, merchants slip bricks from one manufacturer can be used to create a façade.

Finish with the corridor
