Often what makes a home feel like a home is that it mirrors your personal style. Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start, but, a little goes a long way when it comes to making improvements and tweaks around the home. We have come up with a guide on where you can start to make your property feel more like home.
If you’re a little stuck on what to start with, a Pinterest board can always help your vision come together.
Paint
Whether you decide to create a feature wall, paint all the walls or even incorporate the ceiling, a splash of paint on the walls can change the whole feel of the room.
Plants
Plants are not only a great feature to look at, they also help with air quality around the home.
There are so many great ways you can introduce plants to your home, whether you have them in floor standing pots, set them out on shelves and window seals or build yourself a terrarium display on the wall.
Cushions and throws
Not only do cushions and throws add some protection to your furniture from wear and tear, they create an extra level of comfort.
By adding a few plain and patterned cushions, they create some texture to the room and the best part… they are a budget friendly way of adding some decoration.
Lamps
Lamps are a great way of making a home feel cosy. Instead of using the overhead lighting, which at times can be too harsh for the occasion, a nice lamp can create a warm ambience in a room and create a focal point of décor.
Adding shelves, imagery and ornaments
Imagery and ornaments are a great way of changing a home from being nicely decorated to being your home. Between adding ornaments that match your personality or keep sakes and adding imagery of your favourite plants, animals or close people in your life.
When running short on space of where to display your items, shelves can create some fresh surface space to display all of your items. With so many different shelf designs out there now, there is something to suit all styles from modern simplicity and countryside chic to vintage character and Scandinavian style.
Upcycling old furniture
If you’re feeling a little more adventurous or just simply can’t find exactly what your looking for, grabbing a piece of old furniture and turning it into exactly what you’re looking for, may be the answer for you.
Popping down to your local hardware store and grabbing some items like paint and some handles can take an old piece of furniture that was looking a little tired, can breathe some new life into.
There are plenty of tutorials online that you can follow step by step to bring a great new piece of décor to your home.
