How To Make Your House Feel More Like A Home

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

Whether you have recently moved home or have fallen out of love with your current decor choices, there are many reasons why you may be in the mood to carry out some home improvements. After all, it's important that your house feels like a home! 

With that in mind, here are some simple ways in which you can ensure your home reflects your style and taste so that it becomes a space you are truly comfortable within! 

Work with interior design experts.
Whether you’ve chosen a specific theme or a color scheme, you may have a vague idea in mind of the kind of space you’d like to create. However, unless you’ve got a background in interior design, it can be hard to turn these ideas into a reality, which is why you should work with experts such as VL Builders. They will be able to provide you with practical advice throughout every step of the process, whether that relates to choosing complementary colors or remodeling tasks. 

Bring the outdoors in.
Green living and sustainable lifestyles are currently taking the world by storm - which could serve as inspiration when renovating your home. For example, you could play your role in building a greener future by bringing more houseplants into your home, as “research shows that the plants in our homes do help clean up the air by removing harmful chemicals and reducing carbon emissions.” This is also a relatively inexpensive way to add the perfect finishing touch to any room within your home, as plants can introduce new colors and textures into the space. However, you should make sure you care for them correctly and give them plenty of water. 


Create a photo wall.
When trying to make your house feel more like a home, you must use this as an opportunity to tell your story through your design choices - and what better way to do that than through a photo wall? Again, this is a relatively simple and inexpensive way to transform the appearance of your home while also putting your creativity to the test. For example, you could print off pictures to create a uniformal, gallery-style wall or use a range of different mediums, such as framed photographs and canvases, for a more rustic-looking space. 


Feature your favorite colors throughout your home.
Many homeowners opt for simplistic color schemes that are heavy on the use of neutral shades like white, cream, and black throughout their homes. While this is great for those that value a clean, polished aesthetic - it is not everyone’s cup of tea, especially if you’re a fan of brighter, bolder colors. As such, you should try to experiment with color as much as possible, whether that be through your choice of wallpaper, paint, or furnishings. 


Featuring your favorite color, whether that be green or gold, is a great way to make your home feel like your own, as it reflects your personal taste. Studies also show that being around colors we love can boost our mood!
