One helpful way of uniting your home is through a running theme of your family history. This also can help to focus financial resources by using items that have been passed down from your parents, grandparents, and beyond. Take a fresh look at some of your older items and discover how with a little bit of care, they can help tie your home together. Give your family heirlooms a little space to breathe and uncover a new sense of style.
When developing the style of your home, you might want to start from scratch. This can allow you to build concepts from the ground up (quite literally), and is a helpful way of crafting a new space. Without years of life, however, these spaces may feel a little cold.
Bringing your family items back into the picture can help you to create a living space that shows your history. This approach also gives you a running theme between rooms. You can add thematic elements of your family history in certain areas, as well, to fit the space. Historical items work particularly well in offices or studies, so look into having your antique maps and deeds framed and bring your story to your home.
Another way you can add elegance to your existing items is by giving them some room on your wall. People tend to try and overdecorate their spaces in order to fit as much as they can. Carefully curate the items you wish to exhibit and feel comfortable keeping some items in storage. It may be helpful for you to develop a rotation, if you find that you wish to show more than your walls can handle. Aluminum frames and shadowboxes can help you to add an affordable style to your home.
