There are many facets of adult life that shape who we are and bring us joy, like work, relationships, and hobbies. Every aspect can be important, but one that we don’t talk about enough? The space we spend the most time in.

After all, a home is more than just four walls and a roof - it can be an extension of us. But filling your home with beauty that resonates with the person you are isn’t necessarily super easy. So, if you need some advice on how to achieve this, make sure you keep reading!

Picking a Theme

First things first. How do you maintain a cohesive look? Well, your best bet is to pick a set theme to follow. There are many beautiful ones that already exist - like minimalist or eclectic - but we’d suggest picking one that reflects your hobbies and passions. To help, we’ve got a couple of examples you can gain inspiration from!

Games

Perhaps you’re a gamer at heart. If so, it’s worth thinking about your favorite game or even genre and building your decor around it - this is a great way to get a room you’ll truly love. Of course, this may be hard to visualize without a proper example, so let’s say you prefer something traditional, such as playing classic table games online. This can make your decorative decisions much easier, as classic table games tend to have a timeless design that could translate really well into home decor.

Consider something like online blackjack, which offers a sleek look that matches its straightforward gameplay. Start by basing the color palette on the card game in question, which would be black and red, along with white and green. How you choose to use this combination is completely up to you. You could go more subtle by opting for white walls with green decor, and then adding black and red elements. Or, you could be bolder by crafting your room to have a red or black feature wall.

For the decorative elements, the number 21 plays a vital role (you need to get closer to it than the dealer without going bust), so you could even go for an elegant framed picture of the number. Alternatively, you could use blackjack cards and/or chips as coasters, as a practical and whimsical element.

We’d also suggest making the spot where you game your focal one. So, if you play online table games like blackjack on your PC, make sure to decorate the area in accordance with it.

And if you prefer playing on your phone or tablet, then why not craft a cozy nook where you can enjoy yourself to the fullest? Think fluffy cushions that look like cards, velvety blankets with a 21 embroidered upon them, and twinkling fairy lights to brighten up the space.

Fashion

For those who would prefer browsing fashion sites to gaming libraries, we’ve also got a few ideas for you. Here, we’d actually suggest starting with a blank canvas by using more neutral colors for your walls and furniture.

Then, you could use your fashion pieces as decor, letting them shine. As an example, consider framing and hanging a prized graphic tee that is far too worn out to wear. Alternatively, you could go for an open wardrobe that can exhibit your favorite pieces.

Another option would be to dedicate an entire wall to your handbag collection - all you’d need is some sturdy hooks, and you’re good to go. If shoes are your poison of choice, then an open or glass-covered shelving unit would do a great job at both storing and showcasing your footwear.

Adding the Final Touches

So, you’ve made some great progress… But now, it’s time to shift your focus to the finishing touches that will amp up the beauty of your newly-shaped space. As they say, the devil is in the details, so even the smallest of additions can make everything feel homier. And unlike with fashion, unless you’re going for a clutter-free vibe, there’s no such thing as too much.

So, let’s start with a fun way to add a pop of color to any room. Plants are the key here! And if you don’t have a green thumb, no problem - you can opt to get low-maintenance plants like cacti. Plants are a superb way to make any space feel more vibrant. They also offer some great air-purifying abilities as a bonus. But if watering and dealing with pests sounds like too much of a hassle, you could always go for artificial ones. Alternatively, you could simply decorate your space with flower arrangements, which can be purchased at a florist. These will offer just as much vibrancy, along with a lovely aroma, and they’ll grant you more opportunity customization-wise as you’ll need to change them once they wither.

Apart from this, lighting is incredibly important, so make sure to have a balance of natural and artificial light. A great option would be to look into LED light strips, as they’re incredibly versatile and can be fitted practically anywhere.

Lastly, focus on adding personal touches like framed pictures or tasteful art. Just make sure that it fits the space around, as at the end of the day, your main goal is to make your home aesthetically pleasing for you.

While it can be quite a lengthy process to make your space look and feel like home, by following the above steps, you’ll end up achieving the result you’re looking for. From picking a theme according to what you love to finalizing it with some special touches, the effort you put in will be well worth it.
