Looking to make your home unique and personal? Adding character to a home can be done in many different ways, and it really all boils down to what you perceive character to be and what you want your home to say about you. Home decor is a very personal thing, and what you might find appealing to live with could be a big no-no for others and vice versa. And there really is no one right or wrong way to style your home or to add character to a space.
You simply need to love and enjoy what you do for it to have the impact you want.
Remember you are decorating for you and your enjoyment, not what others might think of your home should they visit you.
With this in mind, let’s embark on a journey of inspiration to add character to your home. The goal is to create a space that you not only love but also enjoy spending time in, a space that truly reflects your unique personality and style.
Layer Your Lighting
Never underestimate the impact lighting can have on interior design. It’s not a way to bring light to a room, but the right lighting can pull it all together, add depth, and give the room something extra. Layering your lighting is the art of designing different types of lighting for a room. You need 3 types: ambient, task, and accent lighting, each playing a different part. Ambient lighting is the overall lighting within a room and is how the room is, mainly be it a ceiling light or large windows letting natural light in. Task lighting is the lighting that draws attention for specific tasks such as reading or writing, and it includes statement floor lamps, table lamps, etc. In contrast, your accent lighting highlights features such as wall lighting above artwork or under shelving, etc.
New Kitchen Cabinets
Adding new RTA cabinets to your home can be an efficient and stylish way to enhance your space. Unlike custom cabinetry, RTA cabinets are designed to be easy to assemble and install, making them a more affordable and accessible option for homeowners. These cabinets come in a variety of styles and sizes, allowing you to maximize space even in smaller rooms or those with unconventional dimensions. Whether it’s sleek kitchen cabinets, functional storage solutions, or modern dressers that fit perfectly into your living space, RTA cabinets offer flexibility and convenience. They’re an ideal choice for anyone looking to create a personalized and functional home environment without the lengthy wait times or high costs associated with custom furniture.
Add Texture
A great way to add character to a room is to layer different textures with another for added impact. It can be as simple as adding a plush rug onto a wooden floor. It can be using soft fabrics against metal furniture ie blankets on a metal bed frame. Alternatively, you can play around with different materials like jute, velvet, cotton, and more to help you build texture into a room and design so it looks and feels more interesting.

Period Features
If you have a home with period features or history, designing the space around these can add a charm and character that represents the era. Maybe you have a colonial style home and wish to embrace this your design or to create a home that is sympathetic to the time it was built, or you add flair and drama to a unique 70s home to give its uniqueness center stage an add groovy decor to this illustrious time period? Regardless of when your home was built, if it has a style or period feature to the building itself, using this to add character to your personal taste can be a great place to start.
Mix and Match
Not everything needs to be matching, and sometimes, the character you’re looking for comes from mixing and hatching different items you accumulate over the years. This doesn’t mean flooding your home with anything and everything, but bringing in new bits that compliment your existing furniture and decor style can slowly build the character and turn your house into an extension of you and who you are to make it personal and, more importantly, something you absolutely love.
Adding character to your house and making it a warm and welcoming space for you needs to be done with your likes and interests in mind. These tips can inspire you, but letting your creativity take the lead can build you a home you love spending time in and makes you happy.
