But what happens when you’re someone that genuinely wants your home to look unique and stand out from the rest? You’ve come to the right place because there are many ways to make your house a home.
Don’t miss out on these tips; all you’ve got to do is continue reading and find the ones that work for you and your casa.
1. Try DIY
Renovation projects can cost an arm and a leg, but there are ways to cut costs if you decide that you want to take on a home DIY project. There are tons of projects out there that you can undertake to bring a unique spin to the exterior or interior of your home.
If you’re trying to spice up your kitchen, there are tons of ways to do so, including creating a dining table with a resin overlay. Using resin on a table gives it a unique look that no other table has, and it costs a pretty penny to hire someone to complete the project for you.
Instead, you’ve got to determine the type of wood you will use for the project. And don’t forget to whip out how much epoxy you’ll need using a deep pour epoxy calculator as you don’t want to end up buying too much or too little then you’ll need to complete the deep pour. Once all the calculations have been completed, all you’ve got to do is set aside ample time to complete the project and let the resin dry once you’ve poured it. Then you can start inviting people over and watch how your table begins the topic of every conversation.
2. Rethink the Way You Hang Photo Art
We’ve all had photos that we love and want to hang around our homes. However, the last thing we think about is how we hang these items up. It’s one thing to just throw a photo in a frame and nail it to the wall.
But, it’s another to truly consider the way you hang art in your home and decide to create your own private gallery. Are you a fan of black-and-white photos? If so, you could easily print a few photos in black and white and find a way to hang them using different size frames and showcase the true beauty in each photo.
You could hang them in a foyer hallway or the hall leading to your bedrooms. Choosing an aesthetic for the photos you hang makes hanging them seem as if they weren’t an afterthought. And when it comes to the photos that hold precious memories for you, why wouldn’t you want to show them off in the best way possible?
Not to mention depending on the lighting in the area where you hang them, you could be put in the perfect position to be spotlighted at all times.
3. Go For the Dramatic Decor
Some people decorate their homes in a way that makes you stop and wonder if their home is a museum of various pieces. We aren’t recommending that you decorate your entire home this way, but if you want to bring a unique spin to your interior, consider how you can play up the drama and accents in one room.
If you have high ceilings in a room, why not continue to showcase this by hanging a brilliantly decorated chandelier? This will draw people’s eyes upwards and continue to elongate the room, making it appear larger than it is.
You might also consider adding a few pops of color throughout to make the area vibrant and welcoming. In a world where everyone chooses to decorate in neutrals, your guests are going to appreciate entering a room that feels as if it’s alive with wonder and excitement.
4. Increase the Number of Plants You Own
If you’re not ready to spend tons of money to make your home unique, there are more cost-friendly options, such as increasing the number of plants you have in your home. If your home is more so on the bohemian side, choosing an array of succulents is a great way to go.
Besides, succulents tend to be low-maintenance plants, and if you’re someone that doesn’t necessarily have a green thumb, they’ll be the best option for you. You could also select various plants that can be hung or potted and placed around your home.
The benefit of having plants around your home brings green vibrancy to any room; it has been scientifically proven that plants can improve the quality of oxygen throughout the environment. Thus, you’re gaining better air quality and an indoor garden that everyone will envy.
5. Change the Color of the Front Door
When you drive past homes, you rarely notice the front door’s color, but when a homeowner has chosen to change it, this will make you look twice. This doesn’t mean you should choose an outlandish color, but something that fits with the rest of your home exterior.
If your home is brick, you have the pick of the litter when it comes to door colors. Remember, each color of the rainbow has a meaning and can show different things, like how red symbolizes power and blue calmness and serenity.
6. Update Interior Lighting
Most homeowners nowadays are looking for better ways to enhance the lighting in their homes. However, the idea of knocking out a wall to add a window doesn’t sound like the most appealing option for everyone.
The best way to combat this and add a unique twist to the interior of your home is to update or change the lighting fixtures. Before you buy new lighting fixtures, consider the room where the updates will be made.
If you have a low-hanging ceiling, selecting long lights can make the room appear smaller. You’ll also need to consider the type of bulbs the lights use because some lights cast a yellow hue while others are whiter.
Find a Way To Turn Up The Charm
When it comes to your home, there are tons of ways to increase its charm and make it unique. Consider bringing the drama in some of your rooms or changing the color of your front door.
Whatever you do, ensure it represents you as a homeowner and those who live with you. For more on a unique home aesthetic, scroll through the rest of our blog. We don’t want you to miss out on these must-know home tips and tricks.
