Have you ever been to someone’s home that was a true reflection of who they were? Or a home where the décor was so beautiful you wondered how they coordinated everything together? Homes that are well appointed and speak about the people who live there are interesting and inviting. Cohesive homes feel peaceful and make you want to sit and stay awhile.
Does your home reflect what you love? Does your home feel cohesive and inviting? If not, maybe it’s time to make some changes.
Your décor should reflect what you love
Your décor should be a representation of what you love. Styles come and go and there’s nothing wrong with changing things up now and then. Whether you are into mid-century modern, farmhouse, shabby chic, or boho there’s a style to suit every personality.
Have fun with your self-expression and don’t be afraid to switch things up. Part of the fun of designing a home is taking your time to find the perfect pieces that express your style.
Don’t be afraid of color
Your home doesn’t have to blend in. Don’t be afraid to use color to express your unique taste and style. Paint is affordable and easy to change. One of the easiest ways to switch things up in your home is to add an accent wall or splash of color. You can also make a statement with color through your accessories. If you love change, consider changing your throw pillows, blankets, or other affordable décor so you can make changes whenever you want.
Showcase your collections
If you have a unique collection or simply love a certain motif, showcase it for others to see. Get clever and display your favorite items in unique ways. Have stamp collections framed and hung as art. Create floating shelves to showcase a collection or display in a lighted cabinet.
Highlight your travels
If you love to travel and collect memorabilia or trinkets from around the globe, show them off. These types of pieces can be wonderful conversation starters as well as happy reminders of places you’ve been. Keep the mementos from your travels front and center so you’ll feel at peace when you see them.
Celebrate your family
Showcasing your family is a wonderful way to bring peace into your home. From drawings on the fridge to portraits hung in the hallway, these memories can be peaceful for everyone. Personalizing your home with family heirlooms or trophies from sports and other activities bring character and unique flavor into your home making it reflect what you love most.
Your home should be a wonderful reflection of what you love most. Using your décor and your style to showcase what matters most can help you feel more peaceful when you are home and make your home inviting to others when they visit.
