Hey, everybody, it’s Janine Sasso, your local Chicagoland realtor. And in today’s topic, I will be telling you all about and how to get a lot of character into your home. Did you ever check out those amazing, beautiful magazines? And you wonder, why is it that if you look at that picture, you immediately feel this connection? And the answer, to be honest, is all about character when it comes to making a home, have this certain feeling. We want to pay attention on how well things play together, and I’m going to go over that with you right now.
The first thing is your first impression, and this starts at your entrance, so you want to really take a good look at your foyer. So, for example, you could just add a little bit of crown molding to define your for your space. And then you could paint the ceiling a certain color that matches the color scheme from the rug that you have in the foyer. So there are certain ways to just play together with certain materials that just make it look so inviting that people feel immediately like they’re home.
The second tip I can give you is to consider to go natural. So what does that mean? Going natural can be achieved by using certain lamps that are, you know, wicker or base or wood that are more of a modern sixties style wood to just really blend in the natural themes into your home. People will love to see those natural aspects throughout it and feel an immediate connection. Another great thing to get this natural feel in is was textured rugs and my absolute favorite when it comes to sprucing up a home is trim. You can never, ever have too much trim.
That is probably not quite true. But if you have trim and you trim out a ceiling for crown molding or if you even take a bathroom mirror, you know that normal mirror that the builder puts in there and you trim it out. Trim can have an amazing effect on how things are perceived with depth and it makes it look like a million bucks.
And it was really just a quick, quick fix. You can also use trim to do a cherry. Well, you can use it to do a little casement like a wainscoting kind of type almost. And you could do like a picture art gallery. You was trim. There’s just so many uses for trim. It’s crazy. And Pinterest, for example, would have you covered on it. And my last tip for you is to consider a mix and matching some of the materials. So, for example, you could get an amazing backsplash done with a faux brick panel that you can put up really quickly. It’s a unique design, so you definitely are striking a chord there with the buyers. You could also add a custom fireplace into the bedrooms simply by an electric one that you can push in. There’s so many easy hacks to do that with a built in character. If you wanted to do a living room, you can put up a mantel. Even if you don’t have a fireplace, it creates depth. And buyers find this oftentimes very, very intriguing. I hope this helped. So today’s episode was all about building character in your home. If you have any topics you want to discuss, let me know and I look forward to next week.
