Your home should reflect who you are and what makes you feel happy. That doesn’t really mean that you hang your picture in every room of the house, but there are many creative ways to make your home reflect your personality. And, adding a bit of your personal charm can help you make the space look all the more inviting and one-of-a-kind – just like you!
Here are nine simple ways to give your home a personality boost.
1. Play with Furniture
Furniture makes a house feel like home. It speaks volumes of your style and personality and makes your home more inviting and relaxing. Hence, choose furniture pieces that are comfortable, in line with your requirements, and reflect your style.
2. Imagine Yourself Living
One of the easiest ways to give your home a personality boost is by picturing yourself living in it. For instance, if you are planning to buy a sofa for your home, just head to the store, lie on the piece you picked, and picture yourself binge-watching your favorite TV series, or entertaining guests. Imagining yourself with it will allow you to have a better idea on how the particular piece is going to work in your home and whether or not it fits with the current decor scheme and layout.
3. Sprinkle Artwork & Collectibles
Art is highly personal and can evoke happy memories every time you enter your home. So, think of infusing art and collectibles that bring a sense of happiness or remind you of happy experiences that you’ve had. It could be a painting from your childhood, an old photograph, or a map of the city you live in. This way, your home will reflect what you are, the experiences you’ve had in life, which will help lift your spirits after a hectic day at work.
4. Bring in a Pop of Color
Using your favorite shade in your home is a no-brainer. You don’t need to follow a particular color or design trend to make your house appealing. Instead, follow your heart.
To find your spirit color look around your home, and you would easily pick up a color (or two) you find appealing. Perhaps what appeals to you might be the deep blue of the sea, the serene green of the outdoors, or the mesmerizing colors of a sunset! Simply pick your favorite colors and play with them to see how it all turns out.
5. Own the Space
If you are lucky to have plenty of space around your house, then put it to good use. Think of creating an herb garden or even a cozy seating arrangement for quality outdoor time. Plus, gardening can be a great stress buster and can also help you stay healthy with all the organic produce that you grow. You can even think of adding a couple of lounge chairs and umbrellas for social gatherings. Or, even place an outdoor rug and some throw pillows for a dedicated meditation area.
6. Remember, It has to Work for You
Just because a room was planned to serve a particular purpose, that doesn’t mean you need to adhere to it at all cost. If you would rather have a home office or a library in what was supposed to be a media room, for instance, don’t hesitate to make the necessary changes.
7. Don’t Forget to Add those Bits & Pieces
The tiny, meaningless bits of your house are the ones that can make your home your ideal refuge. If you enjoy your morning espresso a certain way, then think of having it in a customized mug of your choice.
8. Add Fresh Blooms
We all know nature helps us relax and de-stress after a tough day. Adding fresh flowers in a vase is a great way to brighten up your day. You can also think of adding flower petals and floating candles in a shallow brass vessel to give your home a personality boost.
9. Give Your Entryway A Personal Touch
While decorating our home, most of us forget to give the entryway much thought. One of the easiest ways to add personality to your entryway is by creating a photo gallery displaying pictures of your family and friends.
Regardless of whether your house is small or substantially big, rented or your own, it’s still yours to mess around with and make your own. Give it a chance to be your relaxing retreat where you can get back home in the wake of a long day and put your feet up. And, adding personality to your home gives your identity a chance to radiate through.
