A home is much more than four walls and a few rooms. Whether you live alone or with a family, a home is a reflection of yourself. From colour choices to furnishings, decor, and plants- all of it speaks volumes about the dwellers. Etchings on door jambs, couples’ initials on trees, marks made by stone carvers on walls, and letters at the doors and gates are some of the features, which enhance a home. Introducing these things helps to pave the way for how one can introduce character and style into a house. The beauty of using the craftsman style is rooted in the fact that by borrowing from history and adding customised characteristics to old-world homes, one can come up with places that represent the journey. 

Here Are Some Ways By Which You Can Add Character To Your Homes:

1. Paint your walls:

Accent walls create class and energy in your home, as a room or an entire wall gains focus. Go for grey and green for a contemporary, organic look; light grey and baby blue for an airy, tranquil mood and pink and grey for an elegant, floral mood. These colour combinations help improve the aesthetic appeal of your interior making it look and feel more stylish.

2. Entryway decor:

Make a statement with an oversized wall mirror for the entryway to instantly add glamour and the feeling of space. Alternatively, use ceramic vase sets for the fresh flowers to give the entry a touch of art. An antique wall clock can also be an amazing and conspicuous device that can bring additional points to the atmosphere of the entry.

3. Dramatic bathroom:

Bathrooms are kind of boring spaces that can be given a fancy edge with even the slightest of improvements. To draw attention to the height, you can install your shower curtains above your head towards the ceiling. Blue stripes on the curtain and rust shadings on accessories create better aesthetics for the room. 

4. Statement lighting fixture:

Lighting plays an important role in interior design as it can be used more than an aesthetic tool. Chandeliers are perfect in setting, turning an ordinary area into a luxurious one, with beautiful crystal pieces, or contemporary geometrical models. Large pendent lamps are chosen to give accent and enough illumination, and, simultaneously, it can be stated that such lamps give dramatic emphasis. Select sleek, plain and stylish options for a contemporary feel, or go for a cosy, pastoral one for a country style.

5. Contrast textile:

A new home requires contrast in textiles in order to bring personality to the new house. When it comes to the furnishings, combine wooden and metallic furniture with the flat woven rags and cushioning for the best results in terms of modern style and comfort. This in combination forms an attractive and welcoming environment, while at the same time integrating modernity with comfort. Update your home interior with this fashionable yet practical concept.
