A brand new property is a blank canvas, one that is unlikely to feel immediately like a place you call home. It takes time to develop the true sense of a personal space becoming effortlessly comfortable. However, there are ways to support this process, helping a new property to feel safe, enjoyable, and, most importantly, personal, much more quickly.
So, before you pack away your paintbrushes and accept the organisation of your furniture an indefinite arrangement, be sure to read on and consider more carefully your property’s interior design because, the sooner you begin striving to make a place your own, the sooner you will truly feel at home the moment you step through the door.
True Colours
Our personalities are often associated with colours, each quirk given its own shade. And, while we may be inclined to dress ourselves in garments of such colour, we are typically more conservative about the colours in our home. From larger assets, such as walls and furniture, to small decorations and designs, each have the potential to celebrate the colours of our personality and it’s important that they are allowed to.
If we want a space to feel like home, it should exemplify who we are. So, if you’re a bold person who is effortlessly extroverted, be sure to celebrate this with bright, confident colours. If you’re more subdued and understated, then find solace in a home of neutral shades and pastels.
A Personal Space
Much of our home is likely to be practical or social. Kitchens for cooking, bathrooms for hygiene, bedrooms for sleeping, and lounges for lounging. Few of us have an opportunity to design a space that is entirely dedicated to our own personal interests. Artists, for example, might desire a studio, or avid readers, their own reading nook.
If there is no room in your house able to offer you such a space, consider creating your own outbuilding. More residents are turning to log cabins and shed renovations for this exact reason.
Smart Technology
There is an immense amount of luxury that can be gained with the addition of a few smart home features, each that are tailored to your lifestyle. Music can be set to play when you enter your home, turning off when you leave, lights can be controlled with your voice, and the heating can be activated at the chime of your morning alarm.
So, if you’re ready to make a technological leap forward, there are an amazing number of ways in which your home can be made even more personal through software and gadgets.
A Little Indulgence
The things that most comfort you should be abundant and accessible within your home. These items that make up your idea of hygge can take many forms, such as thick woollen blankets, aromatic candles, and even humidifiers. While they may seem superfluous or somewhat decadent, they are, in fact, crucial to an environment that feels totally like our own.
