Making Your Home Feel More You
When you move into a new home, no matter how much you might love it, it can feel like it belongs to someone else. The people who lived there before you have put their own stamp on the place, so it can seem very personal to them, and you might feel like your house is their home.
The good news is, it’s really easy to change this by putting your own stamp on your new home and making it feel more you. If that sounds like something you would like to do, here are some tips to help you get started.
Replace the front door
The front door is the entrance to your home, so by changing it to something more in line with your own personal style, you are sending a very clear sign that this is your home. Companies like Kelly Window & Door sell a wide variety of front doors, so whether you’re looking to make a statement with a brightly colored entry door or you want to create a sophisticated entrance, you can do so with ease.
Hang your own artwork
A really easy way to make your house feel more you in an instant is to hang dome artwork that appeals to you. Your choice of art will say a lot about your personal style, and no matter how different the rest of the decor is from your ideal, you will at least have one focal point that is really you hanging on the wall to look at and inspire you in your home improvements as you work on your home.
Choose prints that appeal
Another good way to make your home feel more you is by the use of prints. From wallpaper to blankets, anything that can have a print on can help you to make your home more personal to you. For example, if you love bold geometrics, then hanging a set of geometric curtains will help make the bedroom more you, or if you love nature, creating a feature wall of botanical wallpaper in the living room will make it feel more like home very quickly.
Light a scented candle
If you have a scent you love, perhaps you love the fire of cinnamon or the delicacy of jasmine, then buy a scented candle or essential oil diffuser and fill your home with that smell. It will start to feel more you in no time at all if you do.
Clean it
Often, when you move into a home, deep cleaning it will help you to make it feel more like yours. The act of cleaning serves to cleanse the home of its past ownership and makes it feel like new again. When doing this, it would also be a good idea to get rid of your own clutter so you really can start afresh in your new place.
By putting your own stamp on your house, you can make it feel more like home for you and your family and enjoy it all the more.
