3 Easy Ways to Make Your House Feel Like Home

Beltmann BlogWhen you’re in the middle of moving chaos, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or disoriented, even if the new place you’re sleeping is now your “home.” But there are ways to make the new home feel a bit more cozy. Sometimes a few trinkets or the trusty old blanket can make you feel at ease. Here’s three surefire ways to quickly make your house feel more like your home.

1. Hang pictures. Save a few boxes specifically for pictures when packing. Mark them well, so you can access them quickly once your St. Paul movers have you all unloaded. A few of your own pictures hanging on the walls will give you some feelings of familiarity.

2. Throw some paint on the walls. Painting is one of the quickest, easiest, and cheapest ways to put a personal stamp on your new home. Most paint and hardware stores have a variety of resources to help you pick great matching colors. Granted, painting gets a little harder if you have to rip down old wallpaper first. But that’s why you have friends to call over and help!

3. Invite some company over. Having some friends or family over is a great way to make your home feel like yours. Even if you aren’t finished with renovations, inviting some friends over for coffee or a glass of wine will help you feel a little more normal, even if you’re still getting used to the new digs.
