There is nothing quite like the feeling of coming home to a space that is uniquely yours. A beautiful space, no matter how Pinterest-worthy, will offer you a wonderful retreat and a place to recharge your batteries. Personalizing your space to fit your individual taste and needs can only help to create a home that much more special and in-tune with your lifestyle.

Getting Personal
Gallery Walls –
Gallery walls are a wonderful way to display your style and personalize your space. Planning the unique feature is not as difficult as you might think. The trick is to start with a few large pieces and plan around them. For best results, decide on the arrangement before you start hanging.
Vintage Touches –
Adding a touch of vintage decor is a great way to personalize your space. The unique patina that comes with age grants you a truly one-of-a-kind object to include in your home. Scour estate sales, yard sales, and vintage shops for items that catch your interest.
Highlight Your Routine –
Do you drink, cook, love coffee, or enjoy crafting? What is it that you love? Let your routine inform your space. If the first thing you do in the morning is head to Starbucks, consider adding a special coffee nook. Likewise, if you love crafting, consider adding a crafting corner. Highlight your interests and routine in order to make your space truly reflect your lifestyle.
Display Corner –
For seasonal displays, choose an area of your home that can easily be arranged. This way you can adjust the space whenever you are decorating for a holiday or special occasion. Tabletops, shelves, or a mantle make great display features. The display does not need to be overly complicated, but it does need to feel special.
