Making a house a home is all about adding the personal
touches, the little things that show off what makes you, well, you. Anyone can
go out and buy all kinds of things for a new house or as part of decorating a
room in your current home to give it a new lease of life, but that still
doesn’t necessarily show off your own personal taste and passion.
A lot of homeowners will bring in interior designers, if
they have the disposable income, to help them turn their tired rooms into
something much more vibrant through a new pair of curtains, maybe some
different furniture, some elaborate lighting or some subtle touches here or
there that might not jump out at you but really make an impact in the room
itself.
DIY is another great way of adding a personal touch to your
home. It’s a common misconception that personalizing your home is about putting
up pictures of yourself, your family, or splattering bits of memorabilia
around. In fact, it can be as simple as putting up a few shelves on an empty
wall and filling them with books, maybe feature vases or lamps, or maybe just
creating something a bit unusual using a bit of creativity, some timber and a
few screws.
One great method of adding a personal touch is through some
kind of metallic design. If you have a family Coat of Arms for instance, you
could have this created through a process known as cold heading process and turned into a piece of art on your wall, maybe inside the front
door or in the hall. Cold forming, for those unaware, is a process whereby metals
are shaped without removing any of the material itself, thereby helping to
maintain its strength and stability helping to create a really clean and
stylish piece of metal.
Alternatively, if you want to stick with the artwork theme,
then a family portrait is a great option. Either having it done by a
professional artist using paint and a canvas, (although this is time consuming
so you might want to consider this option if you have small children who get
bored easily), or transforming a particular family photo onto a piece of canvas
and mounting it to the wall can not just give you a real “family home” feel,
but also enables you to add a touch of colour and style to your walls rather
than traditional photographs in frames.
