Making Your Home a True Reflection of Your Personality

A house is never a home without those special touches that reflect the personalities and lifestyles of those who live there.  I love having guests walk into my own home and immediately say “This is so YOU!”  Just like the clothes you wear and the lifestyle you live, your home should scream your name and tell the story of who you are!  Here are a few simple ideas of how to showcase your personality throughout your own home.

The best way to add personality to your home is to fill it with things that make you happy!  Think of your favorite colors and patterns and add splashes of them throughout a room with throw pillows, patterned rugs, and your favorite piece of artwork.  When you are surrounded by pieces that make you feel good inside, your home will always be a special place to be.

Take inspiration from your favorite travels or from a momentous event in your life. Do you and your spouse often reminisce about your honeymoon on a Caribbean island?  Bring that memory into your home with an island-inspired accent table topped with a special souvenir.

Or have you always dreamed of moving to the French countryside ever since your college study abroad experience?  Add French country inspired furniture pieces into your home to take you there everyday.

Another great way to add your own personality to your home is to incorporate pieces of your favorite season into your home.  Does Spring time always make you feel the most alive?  Try adding a great floral patterned reading chair to a sunny corner to brighten a dreary winter day.

The most important thing to remember when furnishing and decorating your home is to choose pieces that fit your lifestyle.  Never feel obligated to fill a formal living room with formal furniture if you’d rather use the space as a fun hangout for your teenagers.   A home is a place that you should feel 100% comfortable expressing yourself and celebrating who you are.  When every room is designed as a true reflection of your personality, your home will become a happy place that you will enjoy day after day!
