Turning your house into a home is all about infusing warmth, comfort, and personality into every corner. Whether you’re refreshing your space or settling into a new one, small changes can make a huge impact.
Here, we share five thoughtful design tips so you can make your house truly feel like a home.
Discover your signature home scent
Whether it’s a store, home, or venue, every memorable space you enter has a signature scent. It is said that the brain strongly links memory with scent, so by bringing something you love into your home, you are setting the tone for a relaxed and comfortable space.
From candles to room sprays, fragrance is the easiest way to transform a room, and the range on offer at Kmart is versatile. If you are looking for something vibrant to freshen up the room, try a fruity scented candle such as the Coconut Citrus. With milky, woody, and floral notes, this is the type of scent that will have you longing to get home and unwind in fragrant bliss!
Create different zones with rugs
One of the most simple yet impactful ways to define your space is by layering rugs. A well-placed rug can add warmth and style, whether you’re framing a seating area or creating a cosy reading nook.
A textured rug is the perfect addition to your space, bringing an element of depth and warmth to any room. Position yours in the living room beneath the couch to define the zone, or in the bedroom to add a cosy, layered feel.
A rug underfoot will instantly make the space feel more inviting, which will be well-appreciated as we enter these cooler months.
Add character with an ottoman
An ottoman is by far one of the easiest ways to transform the look of your room.
Acting as an extra seat when you have guests around, or a place to rest your legs after a long day, this addition is the perfect balance of style and versatility. A boucle ottoman offers a minimalistic design that can complement just about any décor style. The soft boucle fabric combined with the curved silhouette brings an element of warmth to the space without compromising on style.
Invite a statement piece into the room
Refreshing your furniture with a stylish statement piece can instantly elevate the entire feel of the room.
A simple way to revamp without changing the entire space is with a fun new side table. A checkered side table is a contemporary and functional piece, featuring a bold pattern paired with a minimalist design. The introduction of this statement can completely transform your room, while also acting as a place to display your favourite décor.
Storage that doubles as décor
There is nothing that makes a house feel like a home more than finding a place for everything you own.
A cluttered house can often detract from the beauty of the home, and have you feeling uneasy as soon as you set foot in the door. By incorporating storage solutions that also double as décor, you are allowing your own personal flair to shine through, while also ensuring your belongings have a home.
A feature bookshelf can bring both functionality and style to your home, offering a great solution for organising and displaying your favourite books, vases or trinkets. Ideal for bedrooms, living rooms or home offices, a stylish bookshelf can elevate any space.
With just a few thoughtful updates, you can create a space that’s not only beautiful but truly feels like home, no matter your style.
