How To Make A House Feel Like A Home: Family Pictures

Keep those you love close by.

Nowadays everyone keeps their pics on their phone. Instead, print those pictures out and place them around your house. You could even create a gallery wall of your favorite family pictures and momentos, which leads me to my next tip.

How To Make A House Feel Like A Home: Momentos

Do you love to travel? Did you pick up souvenir from a trip that you really love? Then display it in your house.

I have a little drum that I picked up on my solo trip to Jamaica and I chose to display it on my bookcase. Why? Because every time I look at it, it reminds me of that trip and how I chose to do something special for myself by going on a solo trip.

So whatever that momento is for you, find a way to incorporate it in your room.

How To Make A House Feel Like A Home: Colors

What is your favorite color? One that makes you feel good, powerful, energized, calm, etc use it in your space.

Now it doesn’t have to be a paint color (it could be though), maybe you can add pillows in your favorite color, go bold and use it in your furniture or maybe start small with curtains.

Whatever you choose, adding colors to your space that make you feel good will make it feel like a home. Trust.

How To Make A House Feel Like A Home: Scents

Is there a certain scent that every time you smell it, you feel good as hell?

For me that’s musky type smells like amber, tobacco (even though I don’t smoke), cedar wood, but then I love softer scents too like lavender and vanilla. So I make sure to add candles in my room that incorporate these scents.

One of my fave candles hands down is The Langston from my girl, Terri of Harlem Candle Company and when I’m in the mood for something a bit different that also smells amazing, I go with this Scentsational Storm Candle. I usually find it at Marshall’s for cheaper, but Amazon is another alternative.

Not into candles? Try a room spray, incense or essential oils instead, which help to raise the vibes in your home. The point is that adding scents that you love is a sure way to make a house feel like a home.

The entrance to your home sets the vibe for the rest of your space. It’s the first place not only you, but your guests see so make it inviting.
