An effortless way to add a special touch to any home is to place themes in different rooms throughout the house. For example, if you are passionate about baseball, you could create three areas for your favorite team.
One area would be devoted to memorabilia—this can include jerseys, trophies, balls, photos, posters, and anything else that shows your love of the game. Another room could be filled with biographies of athletes or stories that depict their lives and careers beyond what just statistics show.
The third area could consist of replicas of famous stadiums and other video games related hobbyists who might want an entire room dedicated to virtual simulations such as Playstation 3 or Xbox 360.
The following are five simple additions you can add to your home to give a special touch:
Installing low clearance barn door hardware
Install low clearance barn door hardware. It is perfect for your low ceiling spaces. The key to using barn door hardware is making sure it works in your home because not all doors are created equal. The most important thing when choosing a hinge for your door is that the rollers must be below the height of your ceiling beams. Otherwise, they will hit and break them.
If you have high ceilings, then this adjustment might not be necessary. The rollers should also be on the side of your door and not in the back. This is because having one in the back would get in your way. Barn door hardware is an excellent addition to any room because it works perfectly with open, airy spaces that need an entrance and additional storage space for things that are not often used, such as seasonal clothes.
Repainting some rooms with more vibrant paint colors
Another idea is repainting some rooms with more vibrant paint colors to create different moods throughout the house. Rooms typically used during leisure times could be painted with more calming colors such as greys, creams, and pale yellows. In contrast, chambers that guests usually use for business meetings might be painted in brighter, warmer colors like oranges or purples. Having rooms with different color schemes can create very different feelings in a guest, so it is worth considering when you feel your home needs a facelift.
Another simple change in paint is to add darker shades of blue in particular rooms. Blue can provide a sense of calmness and peace, making it perfect for any room you need to stay focused on something important or wish to wind down after a busy day at work or school.
Adding plants
Adding plants to your home is another way to give it a special touch. Not only do they look aesthetically pleasing in any space, but they also make for great conversation starters. However, if plants are not something you want or can manage, many artificial alternatives can be just as effective. Spilling over pots full of colorful flowers and hanging baskets will effortlessly bring life and color to an otherwise dull room.
Adding a special touch is to hang up all the drawings
A fifth idea for adding a special touch is to hang up all the drawings and paintings children have made throughout their lives or install a small shelf with shelves between each beam for your books on intelligence such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, maps, etc.
Having them displayed around the house shows how much you appreciate them and are proud of their achievements. Also, add a large, beautiful mirror somewhere in your home. Mirrors make for a fantastic design feature because they make any room seem more prominent. This can help you save money on furniture or additional decorating but still have the look of a luxurious, generously sized space. This idea is great if you live in a home that has very little light coming into it as mirrors reflect almost 2-3 times more light than bare walls, therefore, making it easier to see things.
There are many ideas for adding touches of luxury to bring unique feelings throughout your home without spending too much money or time doing it!
