How to Add Character to Your Space

 

 

So now that you’ve stored the items that are taking up space at your storage unit in Lafayette, what’s next? Maybe now is the perfect time to start adding some character to your home. If you’re bored with the way your home looks or are looking for some new ideas, we have some suggestions that are sure to liven up your living space.

 

Lighting

Unique lighting fixtures can take a drab room and really make it stand out. Head to a local antique shop or second-hand store to find pieces that are truly special. Whether it’s a floor lamp, or a hanging fixture, this may be just the ticket to recreating any room in your home.

 

Reading Nook

A cozy little reading nook is a great way to add some charm and sense of comfort to your home. This is also a great way to utilize any awkward spaces in your home that you’re just not sure what to do with. You can add a platform or even a loveseat and then throw some cushions and blankets around the area for a comfy reading spot.

 

Wall Decals

Paintings definitely have their place but have you ever considered wall decals? Wall decals are a fun and affordable way to really give any room some additional artistic flair. They’re super easy to install and you can take them down and switch them out to your liking. Even something as simple as a tree decal can really add some character.

 

Vibrant Colors

Sometimes just adding a little color to a room may be all you really need to give it the character you’re looking for. Consider giving your walls a fresh coat of paint in a fun and bold color. If you have bookshelves, simply painting the back of them with a contrasting color will really liven things up. Colorful throws and pillows are also a great way to add some color to your bedroom or living room.

 

Bold Patterns

Going for bold patterns is certain to make your place stand out. If you’re redoing your flooring, consider a strong, checkered pattern for a classic yet fun look. If you want a less permanent solution, check out some bold area rugs in stripes and bright colors to add to various rooms and make a statement.
