When we enter our home, we all want to feel welcome. Besides, the main purpose of a home in the first place, is to serve as a safe haven or a place of comfort after a tiring day from work or school. Hence, you must do everything to transform your house into something that you’re truly comfortable and at peace. One way to do that is to personalise your home.
The good thing about customising your home is that it’s very subjective. Hence, there’s really no one-size-fits-all on how to do it. However, the problem with most people is not knowing how to go about it. Fortunately, this article will help point you in the right direction.
Without further ado, here are some ways to give a personal touch to any room in your home:
-
Neon Lights
If you’re looking for an artsy and fun way to personalise any part of your home, then try incorporating neon lights. Adding neon lights may be considered tacky, especially since it’s commonly used in bars or tattoo shops. How exactly can neon lights be a way to personalise your home?
Neon lights can actually accent any wall art or photo you may have. Hence, with the help of these lights, you’re able to emphasise the focal point in the room. Additionally, if you have a dedicated game room, it’s now common to have these types of lightings.
What’s more, there are already plenty of designs available in the market, so there’s surely one that’ll suit your preferences.
As a tip, here are some neon signs that are commonly used to personalise a part of your home:
- A welcome sign
- The word ‘family’ or ‘dream’
- Inspiration quotes
- Minimalistic shapes, like hearts or a half-moon
-
Mood Light Your Space
As shown above, lighting plays an important role when it comes to personalisation. So, in addition to having neon signs or lights, also pick other types of lighting that’s flattering or will accentuate the place, like task lights or dimmable lights.
For instance, you can opt for lamps to illuminate a particular space where you can just gather your thoughts or relax your mind. Doing so will also allow you to create an ambience based on your mood.
-
Have A Reading Nook
If you’re an avid reader, nothing speaks cosiness and personalisation than having your own reading area. This being said, find a specific area in your house, like the bedroom or living room, to dedicate for you to curl up and enjoy a good book.
The good thing about having a reading nook is that it’s cheap. You don’t need to have any form of renovation. All you need to have is a comfortable chair, some comfortable throw pillows, a floor lamp or task light, and a simple table, if you prefer. With this, you now have an irresistible reading area, making that particular spot in your house personal for you.
-
Display Your Collection
If you have some collections, like chinas, toys, sports memorabilia, antiques, and others, you can allocate a specific space in your house to show them off. This is important since collections are a great way to showcase your personality. This is because collections can be considered as items that may have sentimental value for you.
As a tip, you can place some photographs from your trips, collector’s items, and your childhood toys in the living room. By doing so, you now have great conversation starters, which is perfect if you’re planning to invite guests over. Also, your guests would already have a glimpse of who you are based on the things you collect. Thus, showing your collections will truly distinguish your space.
-
Choose The Right Wallpaper
Having the right wallpaper is a great design element that can immediately turn a standard and generic room into something that exudes your personality. For instance, if you want to emit a dark yet cosy vibe, you can have grey wallpapers. Additionally, if you’re inherently bubbly and joyous, you can opt for brighter wallpapers. Essentially, choose a wallpaper that speaks to your personality.
To make the room truly personal, you can also draw or paint on the wall. If you’re not confident with your painting skills, then you can opt for some wall art. Do note that if you’re renting a place, make sure to ask permission from your landlord first before placing wallpapers.
Conclusion
There are still plenty of methods on how to personalise your home. As the name suggests, personalising one’s home is entirely up to you–whether or not you want to add some LED (light-emitting diode) strips, what pictures or collections to hang, or what colour of wallpaper to put up.
Thus, let your imagination run wild and make sure to pick an interior design that truly embodies your personality. By doing so, you’ll be able to personalise any room in your home in no time.
