Adding Your Personality When Decorating
Sometimes the latest styles and trends featured in design magazines are so compelling that you forget to add some of your own personality when decorating your home. Its important to be able to step into a room in your home and know that it reflects your unique personality and style. If youre looking for some ways to add your own personality to the rooms in your home, then consider the following tips.
Focus on a Hobby or Collection of Yours
Do you have a favorite hobby or special collection? Consider using that when planning your dcor. You can decorate a room with collections of such things as dolls, airplanes, specific figurines, and hats. By displaying a collection on the fireplace mantel orwooden bookshelf, you can create a focal point for the room. If you like to knit or sew, consider displaying some of your finished pieces in a room, such as a quilt thrown on the back of the couch or an embroidered picture hung on the wall.
Use Family Photographs to Decorate
Family photographs are a great way to add that personal touch to any room. You dont necessarily need to use current ones; consider displaying old black-and-white photos of late members of your family. Or if you want to stay current, choose a few of your favorite photos of your family and friends, and arrange them in frames on the wall. This helps establish your presence in the room, as well as adding interest to a bare wall.
Use Your Favorite Colors to Decorate
The first step to decorating a room is to choose your favorite colors and then go from there. Then when you go to pick out a fabric or dcor item, youll be able to find them in the colors youve selected.
The color you pick out does need to be practical, however. You dont want to get tired of it within a few months. Colors will have to be selected for the walls, trim, and furniture like your wood bedroom furniture or your dining room set. You might want to go with different shades of your favorite color or pick out two or three favorites that are complementary.
Create Your Own Art for the Room
No matter how creative you are, you can create a piece of art to include in your dcor. This might be a painting or photograph you take, or you might choose to display a collection of items. It can be any artistic outlet you choose. Adding your own artwork to a room creates your own sense of style and personality. Its best if you create using a medium you like and are interested in, rather than just trying to create something to match the existing dcor.
For a home that truly feels like your own, be sure to add touches of your personality into the dcor.
