There is a reason the old saying goes “home sweet home” and not “house sweet house.” It's because while many people can get a house it's up to themselves to make it their home.
Your home is your living space that you should be able to emotionally connect with and feel happy in. It is a space that is often seen as a reflection of yourself, filled with your personality, and your comfort colors. A space where you should never feel out of place.
If you are wondering just how you can make your house a home, here are a few tips on creating a space that really matters to you.
1. Re-Paint Your Rooms
As mentioned before, try adding comfort colors in your rooms. Comfort colors don’t have to be your favorite colors but instead colors that make you comfortable and feel at home. Colors connect to different emotions. For example, warm colors are great for living areas as they promote energy, while cool colors, such as dark blue, can promote relaxation which is perfect to use in bedrooms.
2. Make It Smell Like Home
Who doesn't love a good-smelling home? When thinking of a scent for your home, you may think to fill it with familiar smells. For example, filling the room with Orchids or an Orchid scent candles because it reminds you of your childhood home that was filled with Orchids.
Certain scents can bring back positive emotions that can add to you feeling comfortable and safe in your home. You can also fill your home with the pleasing smell of you cooking your favorite meal.
3. Play Games With Your Family
Create new memories here by inviting friends and family over to play games. This will not only make your new house feel like a home, but also a place that will bring everyone together. While you're creating a space that comforts you, you are also creating a space that builds relationships.
Whether this is your first house or you are moving to a new space, remember there are many easy ways to make it feel like home, and filled with happiness. For more tips, check out the infographic below.
