Make yourself feel at home with these top tips.
After searching on Dot Property’s listings online, you have found the perfect property to rent. It is brand new. Has a contemporary bathroom. The perfect location and modern furniture. But it does not feel very much like home. You may need to inject some personality into your home even if furniture is provided. So how can you achieve this? Accessories, accessories and more accessories. And the beauty is that you can take these with you to your next home. Let’s get started.
1. Rugs.
Wooden and tiled floors without a rug can feel bare. A rug will be nice and soft for your feet and also be one way to really create a focal point for the space. This your chance to bring a splash of colour to the room and it can easily be rolled up and moved to your next home too.
2. Artwork.
Investing in artwork can be one of the biggest investments you make if you are wanting to pick up an original piece. Artwork is very personal and it is one way to reflect your personality. You may pick up some art from a recent holiday or a recent exhibition that you attended. Artwork comes in many forms to suit a variety of tastes but it is also worth paying for good framing to finish the look of. Alternatively invest in some mirrors for the same effect.
3. Soft furnishings.
Cushions and throws brighten up any sofa. Plus they make it feel more lived in and give you something to hide under if your flat mate wants to crank up the air conditioning. In fact the more cushions on a bed, the better. Pick velvet for an opulent look and you won’t need an excuse to head to bed early.
4. Plants.
Greenery are a great way to soften a space. Fresh flowers are even better but they made need replacing regularly so invest in a plant and do your bit to save the planet at the same time.
5. Add a scent.
Walk into any five-star hotel and you will be wafted with their signature scent. You can easily adopt this at home with a scented candle, a plug in air freshener or a diffuser. It will immediately make your new place feel like home.
