Moving into a new home doesn\u2019t automatically make the space yours. Sometimes you need to go the extra mile to put those special touches on your home. When your home feels loved and lived in, it\u2019s a much more relaxing place to return to after a long day out.<\/p>\n

Are you in the process of transforming your space into a beloved home? If so, you might be struggling to figure out that \u201cmagic formula\u201d for a homey spot. In reality, there are no tricks of the lights or secret design tricks. It\u2019s all about using what you love to create a space you want to live in forever. Here are 5 easy ways to personalize your home<\/a> that are perfect even if you don\u2019t have design experience.<\/p>\n

1. Personalized Decor<\/h2>\n

Sure, you could go to a big-name design retailer and pick up some art and prints that look nice, but will that really have any meaning to you? It\u2019s much better to decorate your home with art and photographs that reflect who you are as a person.<\/p>\n

While you can certainly fall in love with art from anywhere, why not start with the art of your life? Photographs from your favorite memories and travel spots are an easy way to show the highlights of your years. If you want to elevate this photography, consider using a service like Instapainting to transform your favorite photos into beloved artwork. From the Instapainting Reviews<\/a>, it\u2019s clear this is a fan favorite for people everywhere.<\/p>\n

2. DIY Your Accents<\/h2>\n

Another way to elevate the basics is to use those store-bought accents you find at big-name retailers and make them your own. It\u2019s easy to find basics like photo frames, mirrors, candles, and vases that fit just fine in your home. But what if they could really stand out?<\/p>\n

Add some of your own DIY touches to make these basics a part of your home that looks like it belongs. From painting to embellishments, you can make those store-bought finds look as good as new. You don\u2019t need to be a craft guru as long as you can handle a glue gun and other basics.<\/p>\n

3. Personal Mementos<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s hard to balance a love for personal mementos without coming across as a hoarder, but such a balance does exist. When it comes to keeping things you love, the \u201csparks joy\u201d method<\/a> is a great mentality. Essentially, don\u2019t keep things that don\u2019t bring you joy. On the other hand, fill your space with your memories and items that make you happy.<\/p>\n

Use bookshelves, sideboards, and shelves as a way to share your favorite things. Keep it balanced by only showing your favorites. This is a sure way to make yourself happy when you see your favorite things.<\/p>\n

4. Pillows<\/h2>\n

What home doesn\u2019t feel better with a lot of pillows? While there\u2019s certainly a balance here as well, the right number of fun pillows shows off your taste in style. Look for unique colors, textures, and shapes to brighten up your space. The best part is you can use pillows in virtually any room of the house, from your office desk chair to your living room couch.<\/p>\n

5. Plants<\/h2>\n

Finally, a little greenery goes a long way towards transforming your space. We all love lively, happy rooms, and plants do just that. Adding a live plant (or a fake one, if you\u2019re not sure you have a green thumb) will add a breath of fresh air to any room. Just make sure you\u2019re choosing a variety of plant that can easily thrive indoors<\/a>. From orchids to snake plants, you\u2019ll feel right at home in no time.<\/p>\n

As you can see, transforming your house into a home only take a few key steps. You don\u2019t need to be an interior design expert to let your style shine. Don\u2019t worry what the design magazines say. As long as you\u2019re content with your space, you\u2019re doing it right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
