    Small changes to make your house feel like a home

    Small changes to make your house feel like a home

    So, you’ve taken the big leap and moved into your new house; now what? You found the place on your own, did several walk-through but now that you’ve moved in, you don’t feel entirely at home. Don’t worry, it is perfectly natural for you not to take to your new place instantly. You must establish territory first and add some personal touches so that your house finally becomes your home. Thankfully, it is not hard. Here’s a step-by-step process to guide you through it:

    1. Recreate your old bedroom: Set up your bed, bring out your old duvet and fluffy clean pillows. Sleeping in your own comfy bed is sure to start off the process of nesting into your new home right.
    2. Brings back old sounds: For some people, playing their favorite music on the old music system instantly makes any place feel like home, for others, the ticking of their old clock does the trick. Whatever it is that works for you, make sure that you set it up first.
    3. Bring some of your happy childhood into your new home: Some people carry a few beloved childhood treasures with them wherever they go; this could be a security blanket or a few beloved books. The sight of these things around the house will instantly bring back the glow of comfort you felt when you were at your childhood home and imbue your new house with it as well.
    4. Add color to the home: Unpack your art and place them around the house. By doing this, you are putting your unique stamp on the place. Studies have shown that looking at art instantly reduces stress and increases feelings of well-being.
    5. Tickle your olfactory senses: Remember why spas are so popular with the stressed and tired masses? One reason is that they always smell so nice! Bring the spa into your home by lighting a few aromatherapy candles for an instant mood lift.
    6. Invite nature inside: The color green is known to be a calming color and plants themselves are known to reduce stress. Add a few potted plants around the house to bring in that homey feeling.
    7. Adopt a pet: Always a good idea. Seeing how well your little animal friend fits into your new house is bound to make it feel like home. Adopting a pet is a huge responsibility and is certainly not for everyone, but if you have the inclination, then now might be a good time to finally take the leap.
