These days, everyone is trying to have the best and the chicest appearance. Homes are becoming more modern and sleeker. Due to this trend, homes are becoming far less “homey.” Avoid this lack of coziness and homeyness by creating a home atmosphere that is centered around your personal interests, your style, and your aesthetic. There are a variety of ways to create a homey atmosphere. The first way is to create your own personal art creations and display them in your home.
What are your interests?
- Knowing what your interests are is the key to personalizing your home. Would you consider yourself an audiophile, a cinephile, and art collector, maybe you collect vintage baseball cards? Whatever your interest may be, take your interest and make it tangible. Be creative.
- If you don’t think you’re the “creative type,” find inspiration in this quote from Hugh MacLeod, “Everyone is born creative, everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty, they take the crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the ‘creative bug’ is just a wee voice telling you, ‘I’d like my crayons back, please.’”
- Now, take that creative inspiration and focus in on developing a tangible way to express your interests. Maybe it is collecting old movie posters that inspired your interest in film. Create a collage of your favorite vinyl covers for a custom wall decoration. You can create a special frame for your most noteworthy collection of baseball cards.
Express it.
- Now that you’ve created a tangible example of your interests, hang them up! Your home office or common areas are great places to hang your personal creations. They show clients and friends what your interests are and can be a great way to create a dialogue about hobbies and interests. You may even find someone who cares about baseball cards or old films as much as you do!
Your home will feel homey.
- With your personal, creative wall decorations you will instantly be bringing a sense of personality and homeyness into your home. You home will no longer feel or appear standard or boring. It will create an environment where guests feel comfortable in your home and more likely to converse about the creative projects that you’ve chosen to display.
