Many homeowners fill their space with generic decor and call it a day. However, the interior of your home should tell a story about your life. Here are five simple ways to personalize your living space.
1. Display photos.
If you have a bunch of random photos lying around, figure out a way to display them! If you’ve attended your fair share of weddings and have a growing collection of photobooth strips, show them off in a clear vase. Or, if you’re feeling creative, display your favorites on a gallery wall.
2. Frame house keys.
Collect all your keys from past homes and display them in a shadow box. Glue the keys in a row, and write the address underneath each one. This is a unique piece of decor that will inspire conversation around your home journey.
3. Show off your records.
Records make great decor for music lovers. Showcase your favorite albums in deep shelves on the wall. If music is an important part of your life, consider framing the sleeve of your all-time favorite albums, especially if they’re extra meaningful to you.
4. Remember your travels.
Whenever you go on a trip, buy an item to help you remember your travels. You can display these souvenirs in a special area, or scatter them around desks and shelves. Another unique idea is to print a map of your favorite cities, frame them, and create a gallery wall that tells a story about your travels.
5. Create your own coasters.
Print out some of your favorite Instagram photos and glue them to ceramic tiles. If you’re not ultra crafty, you can make these coasters through shutterfly.com or vistaprint.com. These are great conversation starters.
