Interior Design: 5 Ways to Personalize Your Home

In many ways, your home is an expression of your unique personality. Taking the time to creatively decorate your home can be a crucial step in making a house into a home. Here are five ways to help make your home uniquely yours.

  1. What interests you most?

Are sports your thing? Do you love to read? Put your passion on display. Uniquely displayed books and framed photos or posters create an atmosphere of enthusiasm.

  1. Find new frames for your photos.

Hanging family photos is a common way to personalize your home. Spruce up old photos by putting them in new frames. Bright colors or sleek metal frames can really change a room. A single frame that holds multiple photos is also a fun option for larger spaces.

  1. Scent

Many people focus on the way their home smells when they are trying to sell. Since smell is the strongest memory sense, sellers are often encouraged to bake cookies to leave a positive impression on potential buyers. There is no reason to give up this philosophy when you have settled into your new home. Scented candles or a particularly pleasant laundry detergent can make your home more specific to your tastes.

  1. Focus on the little things.

Building a new home requires attention to many fundamental details such as appliances and flooring. Once you are settled, you have the opportunity to think about touches such as drapes, rugs and towels. A new shower curtain with matching towels and a bath rug really ups the glamorous impact of a bathroom.

  1. Go With the Season

In addition to displaying seasonal flowers, emphasizing other aspects of each season can help your home feel refreshed and personalized. If springis your favorite time of year, make the most of it! Go all out with pastel throw pillows, flower-scented candles or spring-themed hand soap for the kitchen and bathrooms.

Your home should be a comfortable space to relax, entertain and enjoy your daily routine. Making your home uniquely yours is worth the time and effort. For more articles like this, check out Richmond American’s Homeowner Resources!
