A house is little more than four walls and
a load of possessions. But a home is much more. A home has character and
personality. More than anything else, it is a place of comfort which has your
family's identity indelibly marked throughout. So whether you've just bought a
house or if you're renting somewhere new, here are some great tips to turn your
house into a home.
Artwork
The type of artwork someone chooses to hang
in their home can say a lot about their personality. Whether it's a collection
of soothing pastoral images or one of Stuart Faulkner's wacky creations,
having art that reflects your values and aesthetic taste is a great way to put
a personal stamp on your home. By no means do you need to break the bank to
have good artwork either. You don't need to have original works or top quality
prints even. But having something on the walls that speaks to you and
represents your personal taste is a guaranteed way to personalize the space and
inject it with a shot of homeliness.
Coziness Is Next to Homeliness
Perhaps the best way to turn your house
into a warm and welcoming space is to make it as cosy as possible. Whereas
cheap furniture from IKEA or other budget stores is friendly on the wallet, it
doesn't necessarily offer much in terms of comfort or homeliness. Good quality
oak furniture or large, soft couches on the other hand will give your house a
homely feel in an instant. And if you want to take comfort and warm one step
further, there can be no substitute for a classic wood burning stove from Fireplace
Products.
Plants
You don't need to be an agricultural wizard
to cultivate a lovely collection of plants in your home. A wide selection of
indoor plants are available from hardware stores or nurseries, and the
difference they make to the feel of your home is massive. Not
only will they give the air a freshness, but they'll contribute
aesthetically as well.
Comfort and Style, Fully Realized
A home is so much more than a building full
of possessions. A home is a place of comfort and refuge, a place that reflects
your values and tastes. And with the advice given here, you can rest assured
that both comfort and style will be fully realized in your home.
