Turn your new house into a home with these 15 interesting ways to personalise your spaces

Interior design is not only about how a space looks; it’s about tapping into how a space makes you feel and what emotions your surroundings evoke. I vividly remember the first morning I woke up in my own apartment. I should have been exhausted – I had been awake till 4am moving and unpacking – but I woke up with a sense of excitement and pure joy. Yes, it was a rented apartment but it was my space for the foreseeable future. And now, I got to make it my own. Whether it’s a rented space or you own the house, unless you have built your dream home, there is always that desire to add your personal touch to the house design – that is what turns a mere house into a place that feels like home. We explore a list of design ideas from big undertakings like a bathroom makeover to simple changes that make a world of difference like window treatments and rugs to customised décor projects you can undertake yourself like hanging photos. 

15 INTERESTING WAYS TO PERSONALISE A NEW HOUSE

We suggest your first step should be to have the new house professionally cleaned from top to bottom. In fact, it is a good idea to employ a professional cleaning service before you move in to have a clean slate to work with. Give yourself a timeline to create customised interiors for your home but don’t rush it either. Some of our ideas like custom storage options may require a little time to understand how you use the space and what kind of solutions you need.
