Adding A Splash Of Colour
Most homes are comparable to a blank canvas, as white walls and wood flooring do not offer many stand out features. However, this is actually a good thing, as it leaves you the option or personalising the space by using colours and patterns to add more texture and aesthetic value. In each bedroom, use the owners favourite colours in things like bed covers and pillows, as well as rugs, curtains and other material features. In the living room or lounge, make a statement with a new sofa in a rich colour, and try to match in any other furniture to this set tone. Don’t go too crazy with the colour wheel as using too many may clash and create too much visual noise, just stick to a set number of different hues and use varying tones to keep it interesting.
Little Details
As the saying goes, ‘it’s the little things that count’, and this is definitely true when it comes to personalising a space. Frame your favourite poster and hang it on your bedroom wall, and dig out or print off some family photos to take pride of place on the bedside tables and mantelpieces to inject a more homely and personal feeling into each room. Arrange any little trinkets you’ve collected over the years and stick your little ones best drawings on the fridge door so they feel somewhat more comfortable in the new space. Investing in a new welcome mat to place at your front door is one of the final touches, and it can really help to complete your homes personalisation.

However, with these top tips you can discover some great ways of adding personal touches to your home, and help yourself and your little ones to feel as comfortable as possible in no time at all.
