10 Cool Ideas for Personalising Your New Home

June 9, 2021

The prospect of moving into a new house is an exciting one. You may be looking forward to all the happy memories you’ll share among your family and friends. Once all your belongings are unpacked, you may begin to feel more settled … and yet, there’s still a little more work to be done before your new house can truly be called a home.

After all, your home’s look and decor have been chosen by the previous owner. Now that they are living elsewhere, isn’t it time that you put your own stamp on the place? If you’re searching for inspiration on how to add that personalised touch to your home, look no further! We’ve put together 10 of our all-time favourite tips for making a home that’s as unique as you are. Let’s get started, shall we?

Dedicate a Room to Your Favourite Pastime

As you’ll be spending so much of your time in your new home, why not dedicate one (or more) of your rooms to your passions and the things that inspire you?

Fitness fanatics, why not convert one of the spare rooms into a home gym? Film buffs, now’s your chance to create the home cinema you’ve always dreamed of. A visit to the home theater store will have you equipt with the latest technology like the McIntosh mp100 in no time. E-sports stars in-the-making, utilise that space for a powerhouse gaming setup! The possibilities are practically endless

Replace the Windows

A stylish set of new windows can have a transformative effect on any home. What’s more, investing in new windows is also a great way to customise your new abode. After all, today’s windows come in an extensive range of styles, designs and configurations. For instance, you may opt for tilt-and-turn, reversible or flush-fit windows. An eye-catching stained glass design can also add panache to your window panes.

No matter what look you ultimately decide on, it’s also likely that you’ll enjoy savings on your energy bills, due to the fact that today’s windows generally provide superior energy efficiency than their older counterparts.

Adorn Your Walls with Eye-catching Artwork

If you’re an appreciator of fine art, why not showcase some of your favourite pieces on the walls of your home? A collection of eye-catching artwork can be enjoyed at any time – and is sure to spark many interesting conversations from the visitors to your home.

And, of course, if you invest wisely, the value of your art collection could appreciate over time, earning you a tidy profit in the longer term.

Paint a ‘Focal Wall’

Painting a single wall in a bold colour that differs from the rest creates a focal point where you can showcase your favourite furniture, ornaments and collectables. This project requires far less effort than painting an entire room, and yet the results can be equally impressive. Get creative and remember to choose a colour that complements your furniture.

Create a Wall of Memories

You may also wish to create a collage of your favourite photo memories with your family and friends. These photos can be pinned to a traditional noticeboard, or you may wish to hang and frame them individually. The beauty of a memory wall is that it will grow with time, as you share many more unforgettable moments with those you love.

Bring Your House to Life with a Selection of Plants

A few well-appointed house plants can add life and personality to just about any living space. What’s more, plants’ mood-boosting properties have been well documented, so there’s every reason to make a trip to your local garden centre!

Just don’t forget to water them at the intervals recommended on the labels. And, if you think that the upkeep might be a struggle, remember that artificial plants are an excellent maintenance-free alternative.

Change up Your Bathroom Suite

There are countless ways to switch up the look of your bathroom – and that doesn’t have to mean splashing out on a completely new suite. A series of smaller changes, such as replacing the washbasins, adding mirrors, a medicine cabinet, or a few charming aquatic-themed ornaments can help you feel right at home in your bathroom.

Capture your Guests’ Imagination with a Wall of Books

If your thirst for knowledge and culture knows no bounds, what better way to showcase your literary collection than by creating your very own wall of books? For a smaller collection, fixing several shelves to your wall may do the trick. However, if your collection spans thousands of tomes, you may wish to consult with your local carpenter and commission a custom wall-mounted bookshelf!

Paint Your Exterior Walls

Repainting the exterior walls can breathe new life into any property. You may wish to emulate its original colour. Alternatively, opting for something completely different could be a great way to personalise your home.

Stand Out from Your Neighbours with a Personalised House Number

Here’s one final way to customise your home (and ensure couriers don’t miss it): commission your very own personalised house plate. You can have bespoke, engraved house plates made in wood, glass, marble, or virtually any material you wish. And, to make the plate even more personal, you may wish to have it engraved with the name you have chosen for your brand new home.
