They\u2019ve gone through the process \u2026 the search, deciding, inspection, stress, closing, and finally, the elation of buying a new home. Now, they have to make it their own. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Color \u2013<\/strong> Paint is the least expensive, easiest way to update a space. It can individualize a room and put your personal stamp on your home. Pick your color style: From modern farmhouse neutrals to Boho bold colors. Whatever is in your style files (Pinterest, HOUZZ, tear-sheets), color can showcase it. And color doesn\u2019t have to be just on the walls. If you want to keep the wall color simple, infuse color with your furniture, art, or accessory choices. Get your craft on by painting a piece of furniture, or recover your dining chairs seats with new fabric. Try trending wallpaper on a single accent wall or powder room. Create a signature look with a statement making front door color. With color, the change is quick, easy and all you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Your Favorite Things \u2013<\/strong> A home should hold your beautiful art, furniture, passed down family treasures, and loved flowers in your garden beds. Simple daily rituals with favorite things, cozy slippers slipped on at the end of day, or tossing your keys into that old bowl, will infuse you into the home. It could be something new that defines your new chapter of home. That perfect comfy sofa you spied, a fresh new style that you\u2019ve wanted to try out, fun new pillows to add a splash to a patio set. By incorporating these favorite things, you\u2019ll become instantly grounded in your new space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Make Your Bed! \u2013<\/strong> A bed is your personal haven and cocoon. Dressing your bed makes your home environment feel luxurious. Even if the bedroom still has boxes, you can sleep well with a beautifully made bed. I like to mix old with new. New, fresh, very fancy (the best you can afford) sheets, a stylish linen duvet set slipped over your old favorite down comforter and pillows. Pair the bedding with Grandma\u2019s quilt or your favorite throw at the end of the bed and you\u2019ll be ready for a great night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Room to Room \u2013<\/strong> This is where you channel Frances Mayer, the character from \u201cUnder the Tuscan Sun\u201d \u2013 by going room to room to make it yours. Don\u2019t try to tackle the entire home\u2019s decorating and styling needs, instead, try to work on the spaces you spend the most time in first.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Five Senses \u2013<\/strong> Nothing says home more than seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting, and feeling your favorites things of home. Put out those family photos, beloved books, play music, light some candles in your favor scent, open your favorite wine, and curl up on that fluffy sofa and celebrate home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/styledstagedsold.blogs.realtor.org\/2018\/05\/28\/7742\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Make A New House Your Own<\/a> by Julea Joseph | Realtor.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The keys are in your buyer\u2019s hands!
