Turn Your New House Into a Home with Toons

Posted on - 11th January 2021

With the housing market currently booming, more and more people are moving into new homes across the country. Re-decorating your new home can be one of the most exciting but equally daunting parts of moving houses. You may have it all planned out, with a list of necessities for each room. However, what people often find that there is something missing, making it harder to settle in. In our latest blog, we’ll discuss what pieces of furniture we think turn your house into a home.

Fill The Room With Family

Home is often where the heart is and we lend a large portion of our hearts to family. As a family run business ourselves, we at Toons know how important it is to stay connected. This may be more difficult if you live far away but that doesn’t mean you can’t take your family with you.

Filling rooms with photo frames of those that you hold dear will provide something to pick you up when you next feel homesick. It’s the perfect way to personalise your home and as mentioned in our ‘Top Tips to Get Cosy’ guide, a great way to make any room feel cosier.

Bring the Outdoors In

Being around nature helps us to feel fresh and invigorated. It’s also believed that being surrounded by nature can help to rid our minds of the stresses facing us. Therefore, bringing greenery into your house can help you to maintain a cool, calm space to relax in. Visit your local garden centre to see what might work for you. Sometimes, the tiniest feature can make all the difference.

Experiment with Low Lighting

If you’re looking to get cosy and settle down for the evening, there’s no better way to do it than in a low lit room. Candles and fireplaces add more than just the calming light too, as their scent and crackle can often add to the ambience of a room. Not only that, but a statement piece fireplace can add a wow factor to your new home too.

Make Some Memories

As mentioned earlier, in a new home it’s important to personalise it by filling the room with memories. That’s why one of our tips is to make new memories in the house. Take on a new activity, have some friends over or do some baking with your family. Any of these activities will start building a positive library of memories in your head that you relate to the new house. Make sure to take plenty of pictures too, ready to be put on display with your others.

Build Your Own Library

Research suggests that a bookcase filled with your own books can make all the difference in turning your house into a home. Here at Toons, we completely agree. The books that we read tend to sum up who we are and what we’re interested in.

Not only that, but books can provide escapism, a chance to unwind and comfort when we need it. With this in mind, surrounding yourself with your books will instantly make your new home feel more personal. Also, with Toons’ stylish range of bookcases, you can start to transform the room.
