Making a New House Feel Like Home

July 6, 2023

Welcome home! Make yourself at home in your new house with these tips.

Your home should really feel like home as well as be a place to live. The right house will not just check the boxes but make you feel like you belong. You should be able to see yourself living there. The same principle works for new construction homes, and if you are looking to make a new house feel like home, you are in the right place.

Set up Your Wardrobe

One of the best ways to make yourself at home is to organize all your clothing into its respective closets and drawers once you move in. No one feels at home when they are living out of a suitcase. It will also make it easier to find what you need first thing in the morning.

Personalize the Walls

Another simple way to get started is to paint your walls the color of your choosing. Wallpaper is also popular and can add unique patterns and textures to any room. There is nothing like new wall paint or covering to change the feel of a space.

Hang Wall Art

Add the finishing touches to your walls with your favorite wall art. Who knows? This new house might be the perfect palette to display your entire collection that would otherwise be in storage. 

Display Personal Items

Personal items on display make any place feel homey and like it is yours. Add personal belongings where appropriate, such as in glass cabinets, counters, window sills, walls, bookcases, etc.

Plan Your Furnishings

It could be a good idea to have a plan for where all your current furniture will go in the new home. If possible, avoid having awkward, empty spaces in your home. Of course, every room could be a work in progress that you enjoy making your own.

Bring in Familiar Smells & Sounds

A home incorporates the five senses. If there are particular scents or sounds you love, add them to the welcome home party. It could be scented candles, the aroma of your favorite meals, or some ambient background music.

A Custom Home to Start You Right

With a custom home, you won’t have to worry about renovating the layout or replacing floors, kitchens, etc. It will be just to your taste and needs when you step in through the front door. If you would like to learn more, talk with Ameri-Star Homes in Maryland!
