Your house is probably your life’s most prominent investment; a sanctuary where you spend time with your family and relax after a long day. Do you feel your house lacks a little bit of personality anytime you walk in? Despite any chic architectural designs, there are so many other aspects you can add to your house to bring out its character and make it a real home. Join the many Canadians looking to add personality to their homes this year; follow these tips to transform your house into a home that speaks to you.
- Display your memories
This is one of the simplest ways to brighten your home and make it feel like your own. Adorn your walls with framed photographs of your family, friends or photos from a memorable adventure you have embarked on. You can create your gallery wall using several framed pictures and hang them to add character to your house instantly. Do you have collected souvenirs? Showcasing them around your house can transform it into a welcoming place of rest and comfort. Like the famous quote, “a room should feel collected, not decorated.”
- Pay attention to your floor finishes
Your flooring remains one of the most prominent places in the interior of your home. It adds a layer of character and has a direct impact on transforming your house into a home. Flooring influences acoustics, whether in your room or home office, and the type of flooring used can make it easier to stroll in your home barefooted or in slippers. It can also help save money on heating bills by making your feet feel warmer and comfortable. With the wide range of choices available like laminate, tile, and hardwood, vinyl flooring is considered most-ideal due to its high durability and resistance against stains and scratches.
- Emphasize your storage
Functionality is a significant element of any home. Often when renovating, so much emphasis is placed on creating an aesthetic feel. At the same time, storage is considered for later, which may lead to your room’s interior appearing somewhat meagre. Therefore, it is essential to invest resources into visually appealing storage, which will add a touch of comfort to your space. For example, placing an open bookcase, handmade baskets or lumber console will improve your home feel. They also allow you to showcase your unique and personalized items.
- Accessorize with sentimental objects
It could be potted plants, an art piece or a scented candle to make you feel comfortable. Enriching your space with sentimental objects can cause you to feel more relaxed after a long stressful day. Craftsman items have often been viewed as elitist, costly and somewhat pointless. However, accessories complete your space by adding character and a certain sense of cohesion to your interior. Artworks should be appealing and feel unique to you. Do you want to bring life into your rooms? Make a list of items you’ll want to see every day and incorporate them into your room settings.
