You’ve
finally made that big step and purchased a new home. You probably have a list
of things to buy right away. You know that a home is more than just
the physical building. It’s a combination of all the ways big and small that
you make a place your own. Here are some of the ways you can put your stamp on
a house to make it your special corner of the universe.
Shine Some Light
Lighting can be a
simple way to infuse a new space with personality. Warmer white and yellower
lighting helps you to feel more relaxed, so consider swapping out cooler bulbs
lighting with these. Take it a step further and install smart LEDs that can
display several million colors to instantly set a mood. Lamps lend charm into a
space. Mix and match lamp shades with bases to add visual interest to a space.
Your favorite sconces and chandeliers will also add character to your
home.
Organization
Installation of
shelves and cabinetry not only adds organization to your home, but function as
well. Adding racks in your pantry and/or closets help make things more
accessible and offers a sense of calm. Even simple caddies in drawers can
foster feelings of relaxation. A provider of custom closets in Pittsburgh can help you select and install custom
shelving and storage to reduce chaos.
Hanging Pictures
Hanging pictures of
loved ones instantly brings feelings of belonging to a new place. Whether they
are pictures affixed to the fridge with magnets or framed and matted
photography, photos will definitely offer your home that sense of being
lived-in. Artwork and tchotchkes that reflect your personal tastes and travel
history also help make a space your own.
You know that a house is an empty shell waiting to be filled
with objects that speak to your individuality. Before the memories can be made,
there are things that will quickly help the new space look and feel like home.
Lighting, organization and pictures each put your personal stamp on a new
residence.
