Make your house home with these feminine touches

Moving is exciting and often marks a fresh beginning, but actually getting comfortable in your new home can be another thing entirely. With all the logistic busyness of getting settled you might come to find that your space lacks coziness, prettiness and the little details that would make it yours.

Here are a few quick-fix tips to incorporate throughout your new home that will give it a feminine, personalized touch:

Add Some Fresh Flowers

If the kitchen or office area of your home could use a little sprucing up, consider adding fresh flowers. The cheery pops of color that bouquets provide are scientifically proven to improve moods, and are sure to brighten your day as your become more acquainted with your new space. Plus, you can match your flowers, or their vase with your decor’s color palette!

Roll Out The Cozy Carpet

Throw rugs and area carpeting can be a great, quick way to transform a room from bare and drab to warm and welcoming. Add some instant personality to a neutral bedroom, foyer, living room and so on with a brightly patterned rug that is comfortable beneath your feet.

Accent With Pillows

Your bed is a major part of your bedroom, both visually and mentally; it takes up a lot of space, and is where you decompress and get your rest. If you put some care into making your bed comfortable and put-together, chances are it will help you find a sense of homey peacefulness when you see it. Consider decorating your bed with printed accent pillows that will tie together the colors of your bedspread, walls and flooring.

Swap Out Your Sink Hardware

Don’t assume the faucets and hardware your new house’s sinks came with have to stay if you don’t like them. Faucets can be rustically charming, or a minimalist-inspired focal point of your bathroom or kitchen areas, and an effective way to capture your preferred aesthetic. While the visual impact of swapping them out for a style that suits you is big, it's still an easy and relatively inexpensive change.

Display Some Meaningful Artwork

For a home that truly feels warm and all your own, surround yourself with artwork that is meaningful to you. You can display your children’s special drawings and pieces that represent memories you hold close, or dress up your walls with paintings that inspire you. Stay within your room’s color palette for a cohesive feel, but don’t be afraid to be bold with your selection.

Create Space Just For You

If you’re living with family or roommates, it can be difficult to find yourself represented in your living area. If it seems like there’s no room for you to enjoy yourself and a moment of relaxation throughout the bustle of your everyday, put some effort towards carving out your own space. Even if you can’t find a full room to spare for your private happy place, take comfort in claiming a nook, or blocking off a few hours of undisturbed you-time in an area of your house, like your bathtub or study. Having a sense of ownership is truly important in the mental part of the move-in process, and getting to know your new home in your own company is a perfect way to achieve it. And don’t be afraid to insist on time alone to de-stress; 61% of women said that if they were given their own exclusive place within their home, or a “she-shed,” they wouldn’t allow their significant other in while they were unwinding.

It's tough to furnish a new house, and tougher still to carve out some womanly influence amidst all your responsibilities. You don’t need to sacrifice your feminine identity, though just because you’re living a busy life. The place that you return to each day, your home that is, should be representative of your personality and somewhere you’re happy to be in. Creating such a living environment can be a process, but it doesn’t have to be difficult, and is absolutely worth pursuing.
