Livinghouse

After spending ages studying design magazines and websites for current trends we all still want our living space to reflect our own personalities. Here are 10 easy ways to help personalize your space.

• Display personal items that have a story to tell.
• Keep your books on display – they tell a lot about you.
• Scented candles or fragrant oils will make the room smell uniquely yours.
• Hang art where it is easily seen, and well lit.
• Hang art that tells a story, and means something to you.
• Choose a favourite flower and always have an arrangement in the room.
• Have splashes of your favourite colour prominently featured.
• Display your quirky collections – make them a truly personal feature.
• Don’t forget the floors – have carpets or rugs that reflect your personality.
• Make the lighting a design feature as well as a functional solution.

It is so much easier to relax, unwind and de-stress in a space that truly “feels like home”. Make the effort, it will be worth it.
