Treat your home
Making a house a home often comes down to the little things.
From minimalist to eclectic, the look you choose should be a reflection of you, your character, and of those living in the home. Individual rooms, for instance, such as an office or a child’s bedroom, can reflect their occupier. Remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a home. Filling your house with personal mementos and one-off pieces collected over time will make it unique.
Here are a few ideas to try:
- Start with a clean-out. Get rid of any unnecessary clutter.
- Add a few indoor plants. Choosing which plants and pots can be fun.
- Fresh flowers will brighten any room.
- Create spaces for individuals, for instance, a cosy reading corner.
- Invest in some new cushions and throws, towels for the bathrooms, and new duvet covers.
- Fill your home with personal mementos—your favourite books, items from your travels, treasures from grandparents.
- Add a few rugs to anchor spaces.
- Hang pictures of friends and family, and favourite artworks.
- Create interesting groupings of photos and ornaments.
