Tips to add Personality to your Home
Your home should reflect you; nothing is worse than walking into a home with no personality. You want your home to feel like your sanctuary and your guests to feel welcome.
We know it can be overwhelming to make your home feel cohesive when adding your belongings. The layout of your home also plays a huge factor in personal reflection. The design of your home will play into your lifestyle, and the necessities you need in your home—the layout of the kitchen, the storage space, and the must-have rooms need to be taken into account.
Now that you want to renovate - make sure your home shines with your personality! Keep reading for some tips to help you along the way.
Start with the layout
The first place to start when looking to add your personality to your home is the design. Are you a minimalist and want your home to feel bigger with open spaces? Consider a large, open layout by knocking down some walls to create spacious rooms! If you are a home with a big family, consider transforming some areas into convenient rooms, such as a laundry room or a storage room.
Remember to picture yourself living in the space. We know there are many different home layouts to consider but be realistic with your choice. If the design doesn’t match your lifestyle, you could find your home getting cluttered or dull.
Choose a colour palette that reflects you
The colour of your home is an excellent indication of your personality. If you love nature, consider an earth-tone colour palette. If you love adventure and want your home to reflect that, consider adding a pop of colour, such as orange or turquoise. If you want a clean, modern colour pallet, stick with neutrals like white, creams and greys.
Shine through artwork and furniture
The interior design of your home is the last step in making your home reflect your personality. Don't buy interior pieces just because they are on sale; make sure they go with the layout while also showing your personality. Artwork is one of the best ways to express yourself but don't overdo it! Choose a spot in each room as your focal point, and start creating a vision board! Don’t forget to add personal pieces that hold memories for you and your family.
Regarding furniture, you'll want to consider proportions, colour, and textures. Once you have these nailed down, you can create your inspiration and shop according to these details!
