How to inject your personality into your new home

There is something incredibly exciting about moving into a new home from the new surroundings to the interior design possibilities. From the moment you looked around you already started to envision your own style and dynamism  being injected into your brand new home.

When moving into a new property you always need to keep an open mind with regards to decorating. There are some aspects that will need to remain more practical and other areas which could benefit from a touch more creativity. Ultimately, you want to create an exciting, welcoming and relaxing space that is bursting with your own personality. So, consider some of the following ideas to inject your own personality into your new home.

Carry out safety checks first and foremost

Before you can start getting creative with your brand new home, you need to make sure that the basic areas are covered with regards to health and safety. For example, there is no point in painting your bedroom walls with a fresh coat if it’s masking unwanted damp or mildew underneath. You may want to hire someone to carry out a thorough inspection of your home from mould to potential vermin.

Deal with major renovations

As soon as you know that your home is safe, you should start thinking about any major renovation that you might want to take place. From the kitchen to the bathroom, it’s best to get the larger jobs done first so that you can focus on the finer details later on. After all, it’s quite hard to inject your own personality into a room that hasn’t even been finished yet. Once you have nailed down the rooms that require a large amount of work, you can start with the more exciting, creative domains.

Create moodboards

Whether you’re working with an interior designer or you’re collaborating with your partner, you want to make sure that all of the elements are cohesive.

Consider colors and textures

Taking the time to experiment with new colours, textures and materials is a sure fire way to allow your personality to shine. If you have a fiery and bold personality, then you might want to opt for textured red accessories in your bedroom or living area. If you’re looking for a cool, calm and relaxing vibe to reflect your persona then you may want to use muted tones and pastel colours in and around your home. Remember, that you can alter decor according to the seasons and changing trends so you’ll never be stuck with the same style for too long.

Opt for a them

You can completely transform a space by opting for a specific design theme in each of your rooms. Theming your home is an easy way to keep everything cohesive and give a nod to your personality. From beach party vibes to dark, moody tones the theme of your home can tell a thousand stories.

If you’re a creative soul at heart, then you’re probably bursting to transform your new property from someone else’s home into your very own amazing abode. Whether you’re changing up the colour scheme or you’re exploring the possibility of renovation there is so much fun to be had when it comes to transforming your new home. Your personality is a key component of the design process, so it’s important to stay true to your own styles. Fashion trends with regards to interior design will come and go, but it is up to you to create an environment that feels authentic to your own personality.
