5 Tips to Get the Seamless, Clean-Lined Look for Your Home

Trust us, with this look, your rooms will be MUCH better both visually and ergonomically.

While it isn’t a specific design style as much as it is a pleasing sight, the seamless, clean-lined look has been trending recently – and it’s not hard to see why. Aside from the freedom to move freely from space to space without any obstructions, it’s also easy on the eye with its clean profiles and unimpeded sightlines.

That said, replicating the look for your home isn’t easy as it definitely requires keen attention to detail, which is why you should take note of these 5 tips first!

1. Remember that ‘less is more’

The age-old adage applies here for a simple reason: you aren’t going to get a seamless home with all those lumps and bumps around.

2. Pay attention to the little things

If there’s one good reason why you should take note of the little things, such as the bumps on the walls, the alignment between a fixture (like a sink) and a counter or the smoothness of a laminated surface, it’s the fact that the details makes the design.

While it’s unlikely that it will mar the entire look of your home, an out-of-place fixture, such as an unflushed cabinet handle, could cause a part of it to stand out awkwardly.

3. Position your built-ins correctly for a smooth transition between zones

Although creating the seamless look is for the most part about visual appeal, it’s also about creating practical spaces. Truly getting the aesthetic right also means that you’ll be achieving a home which you can walk through freely and unimpeded, just like how it’s possible to see through it all the way to the end once you take your first step indoors.

4. Blur the lines between surfaces with the same material and colours

One of the best, yet most fuss-free tricks in the book for achieving a seamless home is to simply stick to a consistent material and colour palette.

5. Try out concealed solutions like ‘invisible doors’

Time and again, both ‘invisible doors’ as well as hidden storage compartments have proven to be useful for creating a sleek facade inside homes.

6. Get the right fittings, fixtures, and appliances

Even though what matters most when creating a seamless home is getting the look right, why not go one step further with specialised built-ins and appliances that provide both form AND function?
