Home Decoration Memory And Tips
|
|
One thing I remembered is how simple touches can add elegance to your home and really make it feel as if it “IS” your home and yours. Customizing and adding the simplest of touches can do wonders, one of the things we did in our last home is to put in custom industrial knobs in the kitchen cabinets. We had an assortment of knife, fork and spoon knobs and handles that I installed on all the kitchen drawers and cabinet doors. These brushed steel handles and knobs gave a real sense of class and style to the kitchen.
There was a downside of course, I would accidentally bump into the knobs and get a fork handle jabbing me in the hip bone or the buttock occasionally. At least the knives were butter knives not steak knife handles or else I could have been in real trouble. In our newer house the cabinets were all upgraded and so nice looking we didn’t want to drill holes in them to install the knobs and handles.
My point is though customizing simple things like cabinets with unique handles, change the paper tower rolls, or toilet paper rolls with unique designs. Unique towel racks, or shelving all add a unique sense of style to your home.

We like using decorative switch plates in our home. We have an Ohio State Buckeye one, a penguin one and a golf one.

Justin, you are so right. I often lament that I don’t have enough money to redo the kitchen or fix up the house. (nor do I have the skill to undertake it all on my own) But I do have the money to do small things. I’m able to change a light switch so I should be able to replace things like cabinet handles, drawer knobs, and towel bars. Really good suggestion. Thanks.

Interesting idea using knives and forks and spoons. I haven’t thought of that!
I agree with you. Adding just a few small and creative decorative details can make your new home look like a million dollars. And who ever said a million dollar look had to cost so much? Although I design my house through Nina, these tips are useful for everyone who wants to decorate their house but do not have budget for expensive items.
