Unfortunately, many people design their homes based on popular trends and magazine pictures. Sure, the room is beautiful, but is it comfortable and inviting to you? Does it suit your unique personality? Or does the room seem almost foreign, because there is none of your personality displayed in the accents and furnishings you use? It's important that you decorate your home according to your particular likes and interests. This article offers a few ideas to help you create rooms that are exciting, appealing - and totally yours!
Determine What You Like
Solid Oak Bookcases
Think about your interests, your favorite colors, even the music you enjoy most. Are your favorite colors blue and gold? Maybe you like black and white. Whatever colors you love most, base your decor around those shades. Use them in your furniture, the accents on your walls, and in paint preferences. If you love country music, you probably love country decor as well. If rap or hip-hop is your style, you may want decor that is funky and off-beat that includes bright, almost shocking colors.
If you are a modern, contemporary type of person, you most likely won't feel comfortable with rooms that are decorated in a style that is too elegant or country themed. You most likely prefer spaces that are simple, basic and uncluttered. Clean lines and basic colors make you feel most at home.
What are Your Hobbies?
Do you collect nautical-themed accessories, porcelain dolls or teapots? Include your hobbies in your decorating style. Create a corner of the room that is specifically dedicated to your collection. Consider using nautical prints for the walls. If you collect certain items at flea markets, garage sales or online, put them on display! Curio cabinets with a glass front or wood shelves you build yourself are great for displaying those special items you love.
Are You a Romantic, or the Sensible Type?
Are you one of those people who are extremely sensitive, or do the downturns in life roll off easily? Your home should reflect your personality type. Those who are romantics often love cozy, intimate spaces that are surrounded by things that hold a special meaning. Photos, accessories and other accent items that have been given to you by those you love add intimacy. If you are the type who is carefree and simply rolls with the punches, you may enjoy things that simply offer visual appeal, but don't necessarily have a special meaning. Abstract art and geometric patterns may appeal most to you.
The point is, don't decorate your home in a style that you think will please others. It's your home, so decorate it in a way that makes you happy and comfortable! If you love flowers, herbs and other plants, fill your home up with them. If wild colors and bold patterns appeal to you, use them! What makes you different is what makes you special. Your home should be the same - a reflection of YOU.
You may be someone who has a variety of interests. An eclectic look is often the most appealing, and best of all, it is never boring. Mix different styles of decor according to what you love, and make your home one that welcomes you at the end of the day, offering you relaxing, peaceful surroundings.
