How To Make A New House Feel Like A Home

News and Info from Deeside, Flintshire, North Wales

Have you ever noticed how some people’s houses feel very homely while others feel cold and lack personality? Your house should always feel like home and an extension of yourself, but this can be challenging. It is tough when you move into a new house as it will feel unfamiliar, so what can you do to make a new house feel like a home? This post will give you a few ideas that should help you to feel settled. 

Get Unpacked ASAP

First, you should get unpacked as soon as possible. Moving can be stressful, and a lot needs to be done, but you will never settle in your new house if you live out of suitcases! Getting unpacked will help you to get settled faster and should help you to feel like you are at home.

Learn About Interior Design

Moving into a new house is exciting because you have a fresh slate and the chance to get each room looking how you want it. This can also be daunting, especially if you know little about interior design. Therefore, learning about the basics of interior design and the latest trends should inspire. Places like English Garden Magazine will teach you all that you need to know. Decorating each room will make it feel like your own space and reflect your personality.

Add Personality

Following this, you need to add personality to each room of the house. Decorating is a good start, but spaces will feel cold without any personal touch. There are many ways to add personal touches throughout the house, including:

  • Artwork
  • Personal photographs
  • Books, DVDs, CDs, vinyl etc
  • Souvenirs
  • Ornaments

Use Plants

Plants can add colour and visual interest to any room of the house, but they can also improve mental well-being and create a sense of tranquility. Flowers, plants, and herbs can all make a big difference. Just ensure that you do not overdo it – too many plants could make rooms smaller and create stress.

Create Comfy Spaces

To make a house feel like a home, it needs to be comfy. Comfortable furniture and soft furnishings can make any home feel warm, cosy, and inviting, particularly when you play around with texture. Cushions, blankets, and rugs are a few of the best ways to make your home feel much more inviting – especially heading into the winter months!

Make New Memories

Finally, you need to make new memories. A new house will always feel odd at first, but this is because you have yet to have the chance to make it your own. You should play with the kids, invite family around, and have get-togethers with friends to create new memories and make the house feel more homely. Before long, it will be somewhere that you associate with love and happiness. 

Home is where the heart is, but you need to know how to make a new house feel like a home. The above are a few of the best ways to do this that should help you to settle and enjoy life in your new home.
