If you have recently moved into a new home, or are living in a rented house that looks like a blank canvas, then you may find it difficult to think of ideas for putting your unique mark on such a big space. However, the fact is, your interior decor style is a direct reflection of your personality and will say a lot about you when you welcome people into your home, so it is important to get it right. Luckily, help in on hand.

If you have a fun hobby or a specific interest you would love to share with people then reflect that in your home decor. This means something as simple as displaying a photo of your hockey team or as complex as using hockey sticks to build a bookshelf or coffee table. Baseball fans could use their baseball caps to make a statement by hanging them on evenly spaced hooks along one wall. This will create a great feature and stop your caps from cluttering your closet. Whatever you are into, find a way of expressing that in your home.

Add Carefully Curated Artworks

Unless you want an original piece from a high profile artist, you do not have to be a millionaire to be able to afford personalized artwork for your home. In fact, if you opt for framed prints then putting art on the walls can be one of the most inexpensive ways of adding color and personality to your home.

Paint a Wall (or Two)

Painting whole rooms can be both time-consuming and daunting, but the good news is that you do not have to paint an entire room to inject some personality into your home. Luckily, accent walls are very in vogue and are very easy to create. Just choose your favorite color and get painting, you will be amazed by how much impact a flash of vibrant color can have in your home.

Fun Photo Displays

We all love to decorate our homes with photos of our friends and family, and these are a great, and inexpensive, way to personalize our living spaces. However, walls full of framed photos are not exactly inspiring.

Why not think of alternative ways to display your favorite photos?

Why not try photo collages, using a shadow frame, or even inserting your favorite pictures under a glass topped table to create a piece of furniture that is unique?

Make Use of Empty Spaces

Leverage free room's space

If you have an empty nook or corner in your home, why not create a cozy spot where you can indulge yourself and enjoy what is important to you?

Bookworms could add a comfortable overstuffed chair, a reading light and a stack of books. Music lovers could display their sound system and all their favorite records and CDs. Also, if you consider yourself something of a party animal, it has to be a fully loaded bar cabinet, complete with cocktail glasses and snack trays. Not only does this help maximize all of the space in your home, but it is also another way to personalize and use your decor to express your personality.
