8 Best Ways To Make Your Home Reflect Your Personality

14/09/2021      Leave a Comment

As per data from the HMRC, the number of houses changing hands in the UK hit an all-time high of 213,120 in June 2021. It is crucial to make a house feel like home, and one of the best ways to achieve this is by making your property reflect your personality. This way, you can create a sanctuary that can keep you calm, happy, and protected. Please consider the following points if you wish to learn more about making your house reflect your personality.

  1. Own your outdoor space

Many realtors and interior designers agree that outdoor space should always be taken advantage of to the fullest, so keep this in mind when trying to customize your home to reflect your personality. Fortunately, there are endless ways to personalize your outdoor space, including the popular choice of making a small garden. Brits spent a reported £16 billion on their gardens in the past year, so these spaces are undoubtedly a favourite option you can go with to make the most of your outdoor space. In addition, suppose you host many parties throughout the year that attract countless friends and family members. In that case, you can build a backyard fire pit, add some lawn furniture, and build a patio for social gatherings. Also, you can create a dedicated meditation area in your backyard so you can take a break from life’s stressors as you connect with nature. Projects like a meditation area and garden may be easy DIY tasks that you can try your hands at, but you may need to call in a professional landscaper for more ambitious projects.

  1. Hang some family photos

Photographs, especially family photographs, are a vital aspect of modern life. These photos mark important moments and milestones, and they tell family stories with more detail than words. Since there are few better ways to reflect your personality than displaying photos of your loved ones in your home, the most important people in your life must always have a place in your living space through photographs. Besides beautifying your home and injecting some personality into your space, family photos have other crucial benefits that make them worth displaying within your home. For instance, psychologists and child development experts have discovered that personal or family pictures can help children build their self-esteem and confidence by reminding them that they are valuable members of a loving unit. In addition, family photos give children a sense of genealogy so they can better understand who they are, where they belong, and what sets their family apart. Thankfully, there is no shortage of styles you can explore to display your family photographs within your home. For example, you can keep these photographs on a floating shelf above your sofa. Alternatively, you can order picture frames from frames.co.uk in various shapes and sizes to create a gallery wall. Gallery walls offer enough room for customization and personalization, so you can experiment with different picture arrangements to find what works best for you.

  1. Don’t compromise on comfort

There is no denying that comfort is a foundational element of feeling at home. Consequently, many interior design experts advise that comfort should always be the topmost priority when seeking to make your home reflect your personality, even at the expense of style. Therefore, always ensure comfort is the most crucial concern when furnishing your home with fancy items you see online, in magazines, and decor showrooms. It is always best to choose your furniture pieces on site. As such, you can go to the furniture store to lie and sit on beds, sofas, or armchairs till you find the one you feel most comfortable with before purchasing. Additionally, you can smell, inspect, and even touch the fabrics, textures, and materials used in making your furniture pieces to see if these are comfortable on your skin. Finally, gather as much information as you can on the structure of any item you purchase to ensure it would be a genuine great fit for your unique needs.

  1. Display your achievements

Personal pride is undoubtedly crucial in the personalizing of any house. You should be able to feel proud of yourself for making it to a stage where you can enjoy a comfortable home daily besides being proud of the work you put into decorating your home. Therefore, prioritize displaying your achievements as an effective way of taking pride in yourself and making your space reflect your personality. You can display medals, certificates, diplomas, a great quote someone said to you, artwork, and anything else that makes you smile. Showcasing your achievements does not make you an egomaniac but reflects the sort of person you are. Also, these achievements can reintroduce some much-needed cheer into your life during your low periods, so you should display them around as a gentle reminder of your capabilities.

  1. Select the right decor style

It isn’t uncommon to be overwhelmed by the pictures on dedicated websites and interior design magazines flaunting various beautiful interiors. As such, it can be challenging to choose the right decor style for your home. Nevertheless, you can use your preferences as the first factor to help you select the right decor. For instance, if you prefer imposing furniture with fine details, you can avoid Scandinavian-style furniture since they differ from your preferences significantly. Furthermore, consider the neighbourhood, entire town and your surroundings to guide you in picking the perfect style. Also, determine whether you would like your house to blend in or stand out. If, for example, you prefer a home that stands out, you can style the interior of your city home as a country home or vice versa. Additionally, you can also mix various styles to reflect the different shades of your personality. Finally, rather than copy and paste the multiple elements of your preferred style blindly, you can further personalize them to showcase your unique taste.

  1. Flaunt your posters

Posters are an excellent way to spice up your living space and show off your true colours.  Luckily, there are posters for pretty much everything these days, including your favourite bands, movies, and TV shows. These interests reflect your personality, display what you are interested in and what gets you going. Consequently, consider investing in such posters for your home as a great way to showcase everything you are passionate about.

  1. Customize rooms based on your needs

The previous owners may have used a second bedroom for its exact purpose. However, you don’t have to necessarily use this room as a second bedroom if it does not suit your unique needs. Therefore, always transform your home into the space of your dreams by making your rooms work for you. For instance, you can convert a second bedroom into a playground for your children. Similarly, if you would rather have an office, home gym, or library than a second bedroom, you can proceed to customize this room as needed to ensure that the result is a space that genuinely reflects who you are.

  1. Flaunt the little details

You likely have dozens of things you have come to love over the years due to how comfortable and cosy it is when they are around. Consequently, do not hesitate to incorporate these elements and accessories that add a personal touch to your place. For example, you can display figurines and action figures, as well as leave a few of your favourite books and magazines stacked on your side table. Additionally, you can burn scented candles to create a wonderful atmosphere that reflects your favourite smells.
