Congratulations on moving into your known home! This is an exciting opportunity to fill up your space with things that express your personality and truly bring you joy. However, if you’ve never decorated a home before, you might not be sure where to start. If you’re not, here are some of the best decorating tips for decorating newbies.
Choose Accent Pieces That Reflect Your Personality
Before you give in to the temptation to carbon copy your home like a page in an IKEA magazine, think again. It’s time to choose vibrant pieces that reflect your personality! Whether it’s a floral sofa, or a bright accent wall, make your home something that stands for who you are as a person.
Who cares if it doesn’t look like everybody else’s home. The idea is making a space that feels true to you. From highlighting your favorite hobbies, to infusing original art, don’t be afraid to try out accent pieces that stand out and make your home truly yours.
Embrace Color!
If you scroll Instagram, chances are you’re going to find a lot of homes that are full of neutral colors like beige and off white. While this may be a perfectly acceptable color palette for some people, it doesn’t mean that that’s what you have to choose! Feel free to go with color if that’s your thing! Embrace colors that evoke a certain emotion within you. Mix and match to your liking, and remember—there’s no rule as to what colors go where.
Make it Cozy
Your home is your cocoon, and your personal sanctuary. Make it somewhere that you feel cozy and comfortable in. For some people this may mean adding a fuzzy blanket to your couch, or installing dim lighting. Whatever it takes to make you feel like it’s an inviting space where you can relax and unwind, go for it!
Add Photos of People You Love
There’s something to be said for adding plenty of photos in your house of people that you love. Whether it’s family members or your friends, feel free to add plenty of framed pictures of some of your most cherished memories with the ones you care about most. Not only will this give you a sense of comfort when you’re in your home, but it will give you a guess an opportunity to get to know you. It’s a chance for you to explain and introduce all the most important people in your life by hanging them on your wall!
Add a Splash of Nature
There’s nothing like plants to incorporate freshness and nature into your space. Plants add a certain sense of serenity and comfort to a home, not to mention they also purify your air. If you don’t have much of a green thumb, fear not! There are plenty of plants that are fairly low maintenance and easy to take care of. It’s as simple as visiting the greenery and asking them to give you some recommendations on the best house plants for your particular setting.
