"There’s no place like home.” This is an expression that has been around for centuries, but what does it mean? Everyone’s definition of home may vary, however the overall theme is consistent: Home is an enjoyable space that can provide an escape from the craziness of the outside world; a happy place where you can live, laugh, and learn.
Home is more of a feeling than a place. The best way to describe it is like a soothing, warm hug; it makes you feel comfortable and at peace. One of the best ways to make your house a home is through your decor. The way we decorate our home is a way to tell our story and create a kind of space that we enjoy.
Your story can be conveyed in a multitude of ways:
- colors
- room layouts
- accent pieces
- hobbies
- scents
- textures
- plants/flowers
- ..be as creative as you want
Entering a home should be appealing to both residents and visitors; it creates a sense of belonging which is an essential human need. Adding personal touches here and there make it feel like a warm and inviting space. Accent pieces and hobbies can encourage conversations. Colors, layouts, and scents can easily improve your mood and encourage positive feelings.
No matter how large or small your house is, if you can make your home a place where love resides then memories can be created that will last for a lifetime.
