Picking the interior design style that you want is something we all have to do when furnishing our homes. And all you have to do for that is figure out what vibe you want for your interior and what decorations and colours you like best. Given the flexibility of a lot of schemes and the ability to combines different decor styles, honing in on your favourite is probably the easiest part of the whole decoration process. The difficult part is making it all flow together, both inside and out.

As always, our readers are interested in kitchen design. But not just any design–you want to know how to make your small kitchen look spacious. When asking how to make any tiny are look and feel bigger, it isn't only a question of perceived space, but also how to blend your kitchen area in to your neighbouring rooms, like the living or dining room, and that of course is a subject of harmonisation. Our clever kitchen solutions will show you how you can gracefully transition from one room to another by way of unobtrusive furnishings and decoration.

One of the best ways to distinguish an area of the home while also leaving it in open communication with the others is to install a sliding door. And if you haven't guessed it already, it also helps you create congruity. Sliding doors aren't just for function–they also impart unique style and display interesting motifs that could end up becoming the focal point of your room. See how these sliding doors are an extension of the design scheme itself? You too can achieve this look! Just check out exquisite collection of sliding doors and get your creative juices flowing. 

4. Living inside out- The magic of courtyards

Those of us with courtyards know all too well the importance of a coordinated home. After all, the courtyard is a piece of nature right smack dab in the middle of your home, so you need to have a balanced style both inside and out. And just as each living room, dining room, and kitchen can be tailored to replicate the other, so can a courtyard be designed to reiterate your design scheme. If you have an Asian interior, make sure you incorporate some large stepping stones or a budding tree in your inner courtyard, and if you've got a rustic interior, there's nothing like terracotta tiles to bring that theme together.

Take a look at how some of these other houses use their interior theme as part of their courtyard.

5. 20 TERRER terraces that would be perfect in Malaysia!

Last but not least, we want to focus on the all-the-way-outside portion of your home–the terrace! The terrace is a unique space because it allows you to essentially have a smaller version of your home and its design scheme just outside the comforting four walls and out in the open for all passersby to see. It's an extension of your living area–an outdoor lounge to exchange stories, accomplishments, and goals for the future. And as an extension of the interior, it needs to match it wholeheartedly, just like the terrace we see here. The furniture and arrangement practically mirrors that which lies within, which creates harmony between the two spaces.

Check out the rest of our ideas for amazingly awesome terraces and get the design you've been looking for! You might even consider installing a sliding door between interior and exterior for an even more blended design.
