? What can make the difference? Can looking at the living space help you decide? Could it be the atmosphere of a house that makes it a home? As for the differences people experience when they enter a living space, may factors could account to that. For me, the decoration can help determine if a living space feels like a home.
You may also be aware of this. There are some houses which only have minimal furniture and blank walls. You have your doubts as to how they can stand living in something as uninviting as this. You can tell there's no sense of ownership and pride because you can't see any artwork or colors. Without the effort of the owners in adding decorations, the house will never look like a home.
Now it's time to look at another house. Your senses are awakened as you walk through the front door. There are scents coming from burning candles and the lighting isn't so bad either. The house reflects something about the people who live there because it's bursting with color and personality. Decorations include bookshelves and furniture that fill the home and make people want to stay there.
It's understandable why people would rather have a home than a house. What they want is for their living space to feel lived in, special, and inviting. Their home should reflect who they are and so they fill it with colors, textures, and smells as well as great decorations.
Transforming your house into a home is not impossible regardless of what it looks like now. You shouldn't be afraid to experiment or try risky things in your space. Go for a crazy color or unique couch you like. You can buy some decorating magazines or ask your friends for great ideas.
Your guests should feel welcomed and comfortable in your home, so fill it with amazing decorations.
