There’s always a strange feeling after moving into a new house. For a week or two, it can almost feel like you’re living in a blank space, not quite filled yet, with no personality or character that matches your own.
There’s a good reason for this. You are living in a blank space! Before the interior design process is finished, your home is essentially a blank canvas that needs to be painted.
While a good few of your strokes will be purely aesthetical, you need to ensure that you also insert your personality into the decor, making the house an expression of you and your family more than anything else.
So, how exactly do you do this? To help you, we’ve listed 3 tips for creating a personalized home and why they’re so effective.
Small, Neat Touches
You don’t need a massive family portrait to show people that this house belongs to you. Instead, pieces of your personality can be inserted in subtle places. Just yesterday, we were looking through the Jewish home decor site https://www.nadavart.com/,which specializes in specialised ornaments for homeowners of the Jewish faith.
There are many things to choose from, but if you scroll to their ‘best sellers,’ you’ll notice how a good portion of them are personalized engraved products. This is the same case for several other home decor sites – the products that sell the best are the ones that insert personality into everyday objects. Whether it’s silverware, cups, frames, or anything along the same lines, personalizing just these little things is a great idea to insert your identity into the house.
Colors and Choices
Another definitive way to personalize your home is through design. Once again, this doesn’t have to be on the nose. A lot of people manage to personalize their homes through colors and textures alone, going for options that echo their character, ambitions, and values. For example, painting your living room in a light blue color can symbolize serenity, stability, and wisdom.
If these traits don’t relate to you, you can choose a different option. If you have children, one of the things that we’ve found works is asking your children to choose the color of their own bedroom. Putting this choice into their hands can allow them to feel more connected to the house and help distinguish their unique personality in their space.
Hobbies and Interests
We mentioned before that your home can feel like a blank space at the beginning, so set to work filling it! If a guest is walking through your home, even if they’re not able to see you, they should sense you – and they’ll do that through all of your hobbies and interests that are plain to see.
Whether it’s photo frames, bookshelves, musical instruments, memorabilia – anything that means anything to you should be inside those walls and telling your story. If you do this sooner rather than later, you’re sure to have a home that is a definite reflection of your character, even if it’s not finished yet.
