5 Easy Ways to Create a Character-Filled Home

A house can be lived in by anyone but a home is personal and unique to the homeowner. It shows your taste, your likes, where you’ve been, your loved ones and prized possessions. Wouldn’t it be better to live in a place that shows you who you are? Not one that is simply generic or looking like a showroom. Make it your own!

1. Personalize.

Everything personalized is so now. From guest towels, to coasters, to trays. Personalization will always be timeless.

2. Add photos.

Display family photos! Nothing beats personal more than that. Hire a good photographer and have some professional photos taken. Blow it up and make it an accent.

3. Add your favorite art.

If you’re just starting, why not add your own artwork? If you have kids, frame their art pieces! If you’re an art collector, that’s even better! Place your favorite piece in the area where you spend time the most- it may be the living area, or maybe your bedroom.

4. Display your travel souvenirs.

Are you a traveller? Do you collect items from your travels? Why not place them in your living room to show your collection? 

Pro tip: Have one space to display your mementos. It will look better all together than scattered throughout your room. Make it look more professional by adding lights to enhance the look.

Display heirlooms from your grandma. If you’ve inherited any furniture, accessories, vintage appliances and the like, combine these with a few modern ones to create an eclectic look, one filled with character.
