Let’s get real: your home isn’t just a place to crash after a hard day at work - it’s where your soul should come alive.
🎸 Using a concert metaphor (I am, after all, a lover of music) - if your home doesn’t feel like a backstage pass to your life, we need to fix that. 😉
So how do you start building that connection?
👉 Think vibe, not just style — Our homes are not just about what looks good, we’re not trying to build a showroom. To avoid this, ask yourself: How do I want to feel when I walk in through the door? Calm and serene? Energised and inspired? Use that as your compass.
👉 Appeal to the senses — Don’t limit your connection to what you can see, that’s only one of the senses you have. Texture, scent, and sound bring it all together into perfect harmony. The feel of your couch, the subtle scent of candles, and the right lighting all play their part.
👉 Collect stories, not stuff — Forget the mass-produced junk (sorry, not sorry!). Fill your home with pieces that tell your story. Whether it’s a vintage lamp, a painting you grabbed from a street artist on your travels, or something that sparks a memory from a crazy vacation with your best friends - these are what turn four walls into your world.
How to feel at home by creating a deep connection to the space is only in YOUR hands!
Nurturing that connection is a long game, though.
🏡 Here’s how to keep it rocking:
🛋️ Your home should grow with you. Don’t be afraid to update or swap out pieces as your taste and needs change. Just as you evolve, so should your space.
☕️ Small daily habits, like lighting your favourite candle, playing music that lifts your spirit, or enjoying a peaceful moment in your favourite chair, strengthen your bond with your home. It becomes a place you experience rather than just live in.
🤠 Your home doesn’t need to look like a magazine. Embrace the quirks, the unique combinations, and even the imperfections - they are what make it personal, what make it yours.
At the end of the day, home isn’t just a place - it’s where you express love, starting with yourself. 💌
