Answer

Unify your color palette by choosing a cohesive set of colors that complement existing wood tones and architectural details. For example, select a deeper, warm shade like cordovan red to tone down bright reds, then balance it with neutral or warm accent colors. Simplifying the palette across walls, furniture, and textiles helps your traditional home feel collected and current without losing character.
