Making it feel like home with Desenio (AD)

Three weeks ago we moved into our forever home. A new build with white wash walls. I would have liked something with character but the expense and impact of a refurb wasn't something I wanted to get involved with again. Been there done that.

I wanted to ensure that from the early days the house felt like home, was warm, inviting and had a sense of quirkiness and character. I believe adding to walls is the main element that can help this.

From pictures to prints I wanted my walls to tell a story and add interest to otherwise white, blank areas.

On day one of us moving in Dad asked what we wanted on the walls to help it feel like home and he got right to it.

I had already selected some prints on Desenio and used inspiration from their 'inspiration section' for the kitchen. It's such a handy feature and saves you having to scroll through the thousands of prints if you don't want to or don't have the time. It also helps you visualise more than one together.

Kitchen poster names

'Dancing poster'

'Coffee Type Poster'

'Eggs in a Box, No 1 poster'

'Bon Appetit text poster'

I created a little coffee station and added interest and height with the 'Coffee' print. I really like the look of the white frame contrasting against the brass shelves.

The wall in the kitchen that leads the eye into the living room was the perfect area for a little decor. The print; 'This kitchen is for dancing' couldn't be anymore perfect for our house, if we were as good at cooking in the kitchen as dancing (as there's some quality moves busted) we would be doing well!

The eggs are a nod to the future hens that we will have... I just need to get the husband’s buy in because a bunch more ladies is exactly what he needs to have around.

‘Bon Appetite’ works perfectly with the other two and I just love it.

With just a few prints, frames and flowers on the table the room feels warm, inviting and has a little more character.

Turning this house into a home has been so important to us, especially when having wee ones.

Finally I added the ‘Only Limit’ print to my office as it really caught my eye. It's my daily reminder to set my goals high and not hold myself back…owning my own destiny.
