Where To Start When Styling A New Home

A new home is not just a new place to put your head; it’s a blank canvas for you to build your style from the start. If you’re not bringing a lot of old furniture with you, it’s the opportunity to really define your home, but with all that freedom, a lot of people can get stuck trying to think of what they actually want. For that reason, we’re going to take a closer look at where you might want to start when you’re thinking of how to style your new home.

Think About Your Priorities

When you’re thinking about how to decorate each space of the home, you should also be thinking about what its purpose is and how you intend to use it. While there might be some basic furniture needs, such as needing a place to sit and storage, you should think about other priorities. For instance, if you want to make it a health oasis, adding some greenery could do the trick, while a more inspiring and creative space might benefit from hanging up artwork.

Look Around For Inspiration

If you’re not certain what kind of styles are in right now, then the easiest way to do it is by hitting up any space that sells furniture. Showrooms offer the opportunity to get hands-on and to appreciate important furniture pieces in full 3D space, but even an online furniture shop can be a great way to expose yourself to different styles and aesthetics. Take photos or notes of arrangements you like, and consider how they might fit into your own rooms, and think about how different aspects of the home, such as lighting and surrounding details like flooring and wallpaper, might affect their look.

Find Your Foundation Pieces

If you’re having trouble coming up with a comprehensive style that covers the whole room’s aesthetic, then finding one or two essential foundational items that you really like can be a great place to start. Finding a sofa, bed, or dining table that you like can then help you narrow down the aesthetic you want when it comes to smaller decor pieces. Get the big stuff out of the way, and the rest will fall into place.

Add The Personal Touch

There are some things that you’re not going to find in any furniture stores, and these are the things that make the space truly yours. Incorporate personal touches like family photos, travel souvenirs, heirlooms, or artwork that resonates with you. These elements tell your story and transform the house into a home filled with warmth and identity. From gallery walls to styled shelves, there are a lot of ways to add these little touches that truly reflect the “you” in your home.

The world really is your oyster when it comes to styling a new home. While you might need some furniture to make the place comfortable relatively quickly, give yourself the time you need to come up with a cohesive plan and aesthetic for the whole place.
