Make Your New House Feel Like A Home




When you move into a new house All you need are four walls and lots of boxes. If it's your first home you might not even have that many boxes, when I moved into my all I had were some clothes, books, and a few old prints I'd collected over the years. It really feels naked, not like home at all, but in the last few months I have made ​​a place I want to come back after a long day at work. I found that one thing that makes the house feel like your home is to be filled with their belongings. It is not just about using accessories for decoration, it's about what objects mean to you

.

with all design programs on television, you probably know all about the features of the walls, creating space with mirrors and lighting, while keeping everything in neutral colors. Problem is, if your home picture perfect and follow all these rules, on May look good, but it could also feel soulless. tidy home has a nice atmosphere, but it can seem clinical and cold.


The house is just a house, if you put your stamp on it. This means putting your books on the shelves, putting their pictures on the walls and painting them whatever color you want. If you rent a house will be the limit as you can do. Picture for example, is probably out of the question, and putting up more shelves may be against the rules too. In this case it is difficult to make a house feel like yours (because, ultimately, it is not), but there are some things you can do.


Concentrate on items such as furniture and soft furnishings. If you can not make any changes to the fabric of the building, to concentrate on what you fill rooms s. Pictures and framed prints are brilliant for making the walls look less bare, old furniture fills the room and gives her character, and candles and incense to make the room smell good and call.


do not have to spend a fortune on a new disorder. Avoid furniture store and instead find older pieces. Auctions can be great for picking up things that need some work, so if you do not mind some elbow grease you can find a bargain. Alternatively, the antique fairs and car boot sales are the best place to go. There will be a lot more choices and you can haggle on the price.


Mirrors for example, can be hundreds of pounds in store, but you can pick one up for a tiny fraction of that second-hand. Mismatched furniture does not have to look shabby, it may seem quirky to add some character in the house. , Wall and quirky sculptures can also add a lot of interest to a boring space.


Soft furnishings add the perfect finishing touch. Invest in throws and rugs to absorb noise and generate heat. With so many modern houses have wooden floors, rugs and throws are essential to balance this and give a homely feeling. They can also add color to a neutral space, and if you're on, they are the easiest thing to pack away.
