3 Tips to Give Your New Home Plenty of Character

  • Don’t be afraid of color

Choose Decorative Pieces With Personality and History of Their Own

Your home is your castle. (Emphasis on your.) And that means it should be a place that makes you feel… well, at home. Use family heirlooms, vintage pieces you picked up at antique shops and other memorable items by mixing them in with modern, functional pieces. Your home will tell your story when you’re done.

Add Some DIY

Handmade items can make a space look more “homey.” Don’t worry, though – you don’t have to be crafty. The point is displaying something you can’t buy in a store; you don’t have to make it yourself. A small set of decorative jars filled with shells, a tiny terrarium or a full-sized work of art will add just the right personal touch.

Don’t Be Afraid of Color

While you don’t want to over-saturate your home in your favorite color, there’s nothing wrong with being brave about adding layers of colors in your home. Think about putting in your favorite shades with rugs, textiles and wall art to create a beautiful palette in your new home. (Need help creating the perfect palette? Check out this online tool.)
