It’s no secret that everyone wants to make their home attractive and boast some “curb appeal.” But, people also want to individualize their abodes to reflect their personal styles. Sometimes, those things can clash and cause frustration and confusion for home dwellers.

You’re likely reading this article because you want to make your home stand out. However, at the same time, you don’t want to make your house or apartment appear outrageous or just plain weird! Here are some ways to find an acceptable middle ground:

Make use of bold and contrasting colors

Who said that you have to stick with plain white walls in all the rooms of your home? Don’t be afraid to unleash your creativity by painting each room with some bold and contrasting colors.

Keep in mind that you may wish to stick with lighter colors in the smaller rooms of your home. Doing so will fool people’s minds into thinking the rooms are bigger than they are, and they’ll let in more natural light.

If you’re unsure which color schemes would look good in your home, take a look at this inspirational article from This Old House for ideas.

Increase comfort levels with a unique photo blanket

Most people know that you can get a photo printed on virtually anything from a canvas frame and wallpaper through to a cushion or a set of curtains. But, did you know that you can also buy a custom blanket for your home?

The great thing about getting a cozy personalized blanket is you can have any memorable photo printed onto it. You can choose a sherpa or woven fabric style, depending on the level of softness you want.

Plus, when you create your own blanket, you also have the choice of different photo blanket sizes ranging from baby through to queen size. 

Add some hanging plants to your living room

There’s no denying that plants add a lot to a room. They bring color, texture, and life into any room in your home. What’s more, they also help to filter the air and boost your physical and mental health.

With those facts in mind, it makes sense to add a few hanging plants to your living room. Let’s face it: the living room is arguably the main hub of any home. Householders relax in there, and it’s the room where guests and visitors will sit down.

Consider adding a few oversized hanging plants if you’ve got a large living room. If not, you can, of course, opt for smaller plants that don’t take up much valuable real estate in your living room.

Put up some pictures in your bathroom

One final tip that you might not have ever considered is to hang some pictures up in your bathroom. Pictures in your bathroom, such as photographs or random art, will add a more personal touch and help start your day on a positive note.

It goes without saying that you should only use high-quality, waterproof frames in your bathroom. After all, you don’t want them damaged from the humidity in the air after you’ve had a shower!
