Today more than ever, people are staying in their house longer–either hosting family and friends, or working from their home. This need to adapt each space to a specific need creates the opportunity for personality to shine through. The good thing is, by simply taking action and adding small, intentional details, your home will have the curated feel you’ve been dreaming of since you first moved in.

Defining a space and its purpose is a small but very important step in making your house a home. It is a unique expression of you and your family. Don’t be afraid to accommodate for children, multi-generations, pets, etc. You can still have a beautiful space while making sure your living areas are, well... livable and useable.

If you’re not sure where to start, just ask for help! At Home Design provides in-home design consultations where we talk through ideas and suggestions to bring the ideas in your mind to life in your home. A one-hour consult with a professional can make all the difference!

Oftentimes, people can get overwhelmed with the options available to them. There are trends and phrases that will be tossed around like “bohemian”, “minimalist”, or traditional and modern. Neighbors and family may have suggestions, and between Pinterest, magazines and TV shows...it can easily become overwhelming to create a plan for updating your home.

Don’t let it get to you! Your creativity doesn’t need to be put in a box for what is on trend for the time being or what your parents would have done. Your home should be a beautiful mix of unique pieces that are fit for you and your family; something that make you smile, and are timeless for the space you are living in.

Be intentional with your purchases, and don’t settle. At Home Design works with numerous furniture lines and can find the piece that matches the vision you’re going for within your investment range.

As you begin to update your space, it’s easy to get distracted by shiny things and ideas for another area in your home. However, we suggest writing it down or pinning it to your inspiration board and finish the first room you’ve started in. Have a timeline, budget, and end goal to keep your project on track to achieve your finished look.

When you work with our team of interior professionals, we will come to your home to measure for blinds and shades – an opportunity to share your needs for the space and talking through your product options with an experienced representative. Then, take the window from done to complete by adding custom drapery through our in-house drapery and upholstery workroom.

Now for the fun part—pulling all the pieces together! Accessories can do a lot for the space, and we aren’t just talking about decor. A great way to add personality into your space is playing with a mix of textures, colors, and patterns. At Home Design has a large selection of fabrics, flooring, tile, and custom rugs to fuel your creativity and end goal.

How does it all work together? Try pulling colors from the pieces you’ve curated to find artwork. Show off your wild side with accent pillows and throws. Textures can easily be found through beautiful rugs fitting perfectly in your space. No matter which finishing touches you add to the room, it’s sure to make a difference.
