Cookie-cutter homes are unfortunately prevalent in today’s market, but here’s some good news: with a few strategic investments, you can give a stale, white-on-white-on-white home a makeover that’s true to your style in very little time.
Here are three elements that can quickly personalize your abode:
- Hardware
This one little detail makes a powerful difference in the look, feel, and function of your rooms. These days, plenty of whimsical hardware options are available, including gemstone knobs and sculptural pulls, so sourcing can be a little overwhelming. Personally, I recommend keeping it simple and sticking with classic shapes and traditional metals alongside subtle stylings, like this elegant ribbed set, for timeless versatility.
- Wallcoverings
Aside from furnishings, wall treatments are typically the most immediately impactful feature in any given space. Wallpaper is currently a very popular alternative to paint or paneling, and it offers an enormous range of possibility, from velvety brocaded fabrics to splashy peel-and-stick patterns. For an option that lends quiet texture and sophistication, try something like this classic grasscloth fashioned from natural fibers.
- Unique Appliances
Gone are the days of simplistic appliances in black, white, or stainless steel. Manufacturers now offer colorful varieties and stylish finishes that will make your kitchen, laundry center, and bar spaces highly functional and very trendy. See what I mean by checking out these collections by Café and unique options for both large and small appliances by SMEG.
Curated spaces are undeniably in high demand among millennial and Gen Z buyers. If you’re thinking of selling your home soon, remember there’s a fine line between attractive personalization and unappealing overcustomization.
