How to Infuse Personal Style into Your Home Decor

The home, that spaces we inhabit, in which we rest, we even have fun, speaks of us. What we like, what we do not; of how we are and we are not?

When someone chooses a decoration style, they are actually projecting a part of their personality, and because of this there are as many trends as there are people who identify with them. Do not you know which one is more suitable for your house? We have made a guide to decorative styles that may help you. Ready to find the style that best suits you?

Mix More than One

Adding some trends to the same room can work. This prevents a trend from being the main attraction, and makes its overall style much more unique. For example, you can have striped curtains, chevron stripes on the wall and a vintage coffee table or lamps in the same room. All these table lamps available at Target are fashionable and look good when combined.

Choose a Personal Piece

The art you show at home does not always have to be expensive or something related to a trend. For example, if you frame a personal memory, you can achieve style and a more individualized fashion. This is also a great way to be fashionable in your own way!

Opt For a Timeless Approach

Following trends is not always cheap: sometimes it can cost a lot to keep updating your home. If you do this, you also run the risk of continually losing interest in how your house looks and you will lack a sense of style that comes from timeless fashion. A minimalist approach to your design will be beautiful in the coming years and even if you change your appearance from time to time, you will always have a solid and elegant foundation.

Get a New Accent

An accent piece or wall that transmits the latest trends can be an excellent way to experiment with the design in your home without putting into play all the style of a room. The accessories in patterns and bright colors are elegant and modern. An accent wall painted in neon color pays homage to this decoration trend without giving a coup de grace in the rest of the space. The accents are also easier to combine with the rest of the style of your room.

Choose Style and Sustainability

You do not want to bring new furniture to your home that does not last longer than one season because they break or stain easily. Opt for pieces that are fashionable, but they are also made of materials that will last. This achieves a good balance between modern and timeless.

Make It Comforting

If you follow the trends too much, you may end up with many different aspects in your home that do not make you feel like you are in a comfortable environment. Remember to instill a sense of comfort in your design. This is a great way to join or unite the trends you are using and can be achieved with hardwood floors and warm colors.

Take Out Those Background Pieces

Each room has some items that are traditional for her. For example, a table in the dining room, a sofa in the living room, a bed in the bedroom, etc. An excellent way to turn these classic items into something modern is to be a little more creative with the way you use them.

A Cocktail of Two Design Styles

Combining two different styles, such as industrial and farm, is an excellent way to use fashion pieces and create something new that distinguishes your home from the rest. If the two styles are very different, this is even better! The contrast works well to mix different styles and create something eye-catching.

Use Your Hobbies as Inspiration

A personalized home is one that portrays elements of who you are and should be full of things you love. Consider your hobbies as inspiration to include things in your home.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
