How to Create a Cohesive Interior in a UK First Home Without a Big Budget

A cohesive home has little to do with how much you spend and everything to do with consistency. This guide shows first time buyers in the UK how to make a starter home feel finished by working with a simple colour palette, repeating a material or finish, and letting larger pieces set the tone for each room.
