Taking a personalized approach to your home’s design lets you have fun with decorating and it can help you save a few dollars along the way. We have tips and tricks that you can incorporate to ensure that your home is truly a reflection of you.
How to Personalize Your Home:
1. Give Yourself A Self-Assessment.
The key to successfully personalize your space is really knowing yourself. What values are important to you? What are some things that you cannot live without and what makes you tick? Before you begin the process, take some time and ask yourself some personal questions. Determine your favorite activities, interests, etc. so that you can create a space full of things that are important to you.
2. Meaningful Items.
Whether it is heirlooms that have been passed down from generation to generation or your grandmother’s old painting, be sure to decorate with items that hold special meaning to you. Souvenirs from trips and drawings from your children are things that you hold dear and it can also contribute to your decor. You can even incorporate your hobbies into your decorations. For instance, if you enjoy bicycling, you can store them on the wall by building a chic wooden hanging nook. By hanging them on the wall like a piece of art, you can blend them into the room’s decor.
3. Use Colors that Inspire You.
What is your favorite color? Or better yet, what colors are motivating to you? Use this as inspiration when painting different spaces within your home. You can incorporate lively colors like the yellow or orange in your decor to create a light-hearted feeling or you can use tranquil colors like blue or green to create a relaxing oasis. Whatever the tone you are trying to set, see how color specifically speaks to you.
4. Create A Feature Wall.
Make an accent wall featuring all of the things that bring you joy. You can put photographs, prints, artwork and other things that tell your story right on the wall. When making your feature wall, be sure to mix things up, use a variety of sizes, shapes, colors and different knacks. If you decide to use photographs, you can hang them in unique frames. Creating such a wall in your home is bound to make your space feel more personalized.
