To cozy up a house and turn it into a home, we often rely on
personal style to create an overall aesthetic. However, our homes consist of so
much more than furniture. Here are some suggestions to enhance your space and
make rooms feel more comfortable.
Practicality
Well-designed homes get everything right, especially from a practical
sense. Make sure you set aside space for laundry, a mudroom/entrance area, and
other areas that might be accidentally overlooked. If you don’t have a
dedicated room where you can keep a washer and dryer, consider putting them in
a closet or stacking them to maximize space.
Layout
Spend some time analyzing the way you use and move throughout your home.
Establish what is clearly working and what isn’t. Sometimes, interior design
can’t remedy an oddly-placed wall, which should be knocked down by a
professional. Houses can often gain more space by expanding a kitchen or dining
area, for example.
Nooks & Crannies
Sometimes, the most overlooked areas of a space are those awkward spaces
such as corners or underneath stairways. Brainstorm how to transform the blank
canvas into something more useful, such as designated storage areas.
Lighting
One of the most important aspects of interior design, lighting has the
power to change the ambiance with the flip of a switch. Try to balance
artificial and natural light to create a warm, cozy, yet welcoming space.
Color
Choosing the right color can make a magnificent impact on a room. Layer
your color palette by using accent walls or adding bold accessories or artwork
to make them pop.
Personality
Don’t forget the most important part of making your house a home: you! Make
sure each and every element in your home is one that you love. Showcase your
personal art collection or reupholstered chairs proudly.
