The place where you call home needs to have your signature all over it. That way, it’ll feel like it really belongs to you.
Anybody can personalize their home with things like wall art or furniture, and that’s important too. Customizing the layout takes things to another level.
Let’s check out a few different ways that customized homes really feel like yours.
Control the Layout
If you buy an old home, you’ll inherit the blueprint. Demolishing a wall or shuffling things around once it’s already built can be stressful and expensive. People with the skills and tools to do it themselves don’t always have the time, and people without these things aren’t always willing to shell out big bucks.
Builders like Blythwood Homes give you control over the layout without having to wait for the home to be built from scratch. Their move-in-ready homes give you flexibility in terms of the layout without the stress and financial burden of a new build.
Select Your Finishes
Choosing your home’s finishes is a crucial way to personalize where you live. Like many elements of building a home, it’s easier and more affordable to do it from the get-go.
Move-in-ready homes let you customize finishes like countertops, flooring, and paint colour. These personalized details can elevate a home, making you fall more in love with where you live because it reflects your needs and style.
Sounds and Aromas
Filling a home with aspects of yourself can mean many things. Sometimes it’s the bones of the house that connect us to where we live, like the blueprint and the materials. Other times, it’s what fills our senses.
You don’t need to be a music buff or a scented candle aficionado to be mindful of how your home sounds and smells. Some listen to music mostly as background filler, while others listen actively and dissect the sounds they hear. Most people fall somewhere in the middle of this spectrum.
Technology makes it easier to play music throughout your home. You don’t need wired speakers embedded in the walls or ceiling anymore! Whether you buy music one song or album at a time or pay for a streaming service, you can play music from your phone through wireless speakers that sound quite good.
As for aromas, some people’s homes have a signature scent because of an air freshener or diffuser. Visitors may not be aware that you do it on purpose or even know the name of the fragrance. But they’ll be hit with the scent upon entering your home, and they’ll have a greater sense of where they are. So will you.
Plus, it can cover funny food smells you may not like, such as fish or cooked onions.
People make their living quarters feel like home in different ways. After building a home with your desired layout and finishes, filling it with sounds and smells you enjoy is a great next step. People will love visiting, and you’ll love living there!
