So what to do? Here are the tips:

Tip 1
Consider the look you desire with your interior doors.
Other than the structural design of your home an important influential factor will be the door styling you choose. Therefore, it is important to make sure that what you choose fits the style you’re trying to create.
The eye is very discerning and will notice details that are incongruent with the overall composition of any house. A prime example would be an upscale, elegantly designed house. Such a home would demand complimentary doors to complete the entire style correctly.
This would probably call for French styled doors, both as entry way and internal, in order to maintain the touch intended for a home of this type.
Traditional homes may use wood grain look or glass lite doors.
Modern homes use often flat panel, or doors with linear negative details, or with straight edged glass panels in the front door.
Tip 2
Choose the proper windows in your home.
Since the windows reflect and accompany the styling of the doors, proper consideration must be given to them. Using the illustration of step one (classical look) you would naturally lean toward a window containing panes to fill the need.
Conversely, a home reflecting a more modern style would require windows of a more conservative look. Remember, the windows naturally act as frames for your view of the outside world. This will affect the feel you create within the home at all times.
This feel will be present whether you are consciously aware of it or not. Your inner self and anyone else present will be directly influenced by the type of windows you select. So again, research and find the windows that compliment the style of your home.
If your windows are not what you desire, you will then need to use window treatments to transform the look of the window.
Curtains and curtain rods can make a room look traditional while modern blinds can modernise a home.
Tip 3
Matching the mouldings, door trim, and cornices.
These 3 options tie things together, and should be carefully considered, as the continuity of your decor will most assuredly depend on them.
Once again, these choices must mirror the rest of the home and compliment all of your other selections.
The variety of choices available on the market is large. That is why you should narrow the field by picking the correct styles to truly enhance and bring together your entire project.
Ornate cornices including simple ornate ones are not much different in price to plain cove cornices and can provide a more sophisticated look.
The modern alternative is the square edge no cornice join.

Tip 4
Choosing the right flooring.
The area encompassed in any home by the flooring is proportionately large. Your selection will influence tremendously how your home is perceived.

Therefore, whether it is tiles, wood, or carpeting you want to use, make sure that you see a large sample, usually in a showroom. Otherwise you may not get the full effect by viewing a small sample.
Modern choices include carpets, large rectangular tiles, engineered wood flooring. Even in a modern setting, a wood look floor in the right tones that complements the other colors has a warmer feel.
Tip 5
Curtains and wall art.
One of the finishing touches on your home is the curtains and wall art. Since they will be the enhancing factor, surrounding and covering where light enters and leaves a room, all eyes will naturally be attracted to these areas.
In addition, these areas represent large spaces that will greatly influence the decor.
