If you’re having trouble making your living space more like your home, it might be that you’re lacking the unique, personal touch. You can live anywhere, but unless you’ve made it your home, it can feel quite uncomfortable and unfamiliar to you. Your living space should have you feeling like you belong there, and that it belongs to you – else you’re missing out on the comfort that a home should bring.
Making your house a home isn’t necessarily expensive, either, it just requires some more thought and trying to put more of yourself into the decoration.
Custom-made furniture.
Nothing says unique like a piece of furniture made specifically for you. Not only are these custom pieces visually appealing, but there aren’t likely going to be any quite like yours. Whether it’s coffee tables, a wardrobe, or a shelving unit – custom furniture that’s made for you can be a great way to add that finishing touch.
Make it yourself.
Of all the skills out there you can learn, DIY can be very handy. Making your own furniture, putting up your own decorations, and so on can save you a lot of money, but also allow you to make your own personal changes to your home. If you made your own piece of furniture, you would not only have something unique to put on display, but also you would know exactly where it came from and how much work you put in to create it.
While DIY can take a long time to improve on, it’s worth it if you have a lot of plans for your home that you’re going to make in the future. Being able to save yourself hundreds if not thousands is well worth the time needed.
Consider a photo wall.
What your home might be missing, is something to show that it’s yours. Photos are a great way to remind you of great times you’ve had, and a photo wall is a creative way to get all of those memories on display. Some might feel that a photo wall looks cluttered, and others might not have enough photos – but putting what you do have on display has multiple benefits.
Not only is it nice to be reminded of those great times from your past, but they can make for good conversation starters. Whenever you’re hosting guests, they might ask about them, and then it’s storytime.
Put it on display.
Photos aren’t the only thing you should be putting on display. Posters, pieces of art, souvenirs, or just anything that says a little about you can make for great decorations. Finding a free space on your shelf for an item you enjoy helps to make your living space feel more like you, and it will help others to learn more about you whenever they stop by. This also helps to make the environment that little bit more interesting, as it’s not your regular decorations that are on display everywhere else.
