5 Ways To Put A Stamp On Your New Home

If you have recently bought a new home, or you are in the process of purchasing a property, you may be wondering how you can make your new property feel like your own. Once you have completed any technical or building works that may need to be done, the fun can really start when you start to add personal touches to your home!

5 Ways To Put A Stamp On Your New Home

1. Find Your Style

Before you start to decorate your home or buy new furniture, it’s crucial to find out what your style is. If you don’t, your home will feel mismatched and furniture may feel lost in the home.

The easiest way to do this is to take some time and flick through interior magazines or use apps like Pinterest and start collecting images of homes that you love. You will soon get an idea of what types of styles you are drawn to and you can go from there.

2. Choose Furniture That You Love

When shopping for furniture, consider style as well as function. Your new sofa needs to be comfortable, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish too.

Avoid buying matching furniture sets out of ease, and instead take the time to look for a few unusual pieces to add to your home and make the space feel unique to you. Think about the layout of the room and where the furniture will sit, from there you can hunt around for the perfect pieces of furniture that meet your needs.

3. Carefully Curated Art

Art can be one of the best ways to add a touch of individuality to your home, art is subjective after all!

If you have a plain wall, it can be the quickest way to add some personality but you can also add to your art collection over the years. Think about reframing the artwork to fit with the interior of your home, so that the collection flows. Or why not create a gallery wall? You can mix and match typography prints, artwork and pictures of loved ones to show off your personality.

4. Add Layers With Textiles

Textiles can add warmth and depth to a space, once rugs, cushions and throws are added to a room then it can instantly make the space feel more cosy and welcoming.

When choosing textiles, think about the colour tones of that room and pick one or two different hues that will work well together. Adding different types of fabrics and patterns can make the room feel more luxurious.

5. Finishing Touches

Add trinkets and ornaments to add some personality to your room, or why not a bookcase filled with your favourite novels which not only shows off your individuality but it is also functional?

Carefully placed pieces of home decor can instantly make a room feel homely, but don’t overdo it. Sometimes less is more, you want to avoid your home feeling cluttered.
