Her Haus: It’s All In The Details

It is easy to
become focused on the larger elements of the room when you are decorating.  While your bedding, seating and curtains are
all important aspects of the rooms overall aesthetic, it is truly the finer details
that bring a room together. 

It is those small details that really
have the potential to make your home unique, here are a few ideas for adding
intricacy to your décor. 

Change the Door Handles

Having unusual
door handles in your home gives your entryway a unique feel, and choosing
something out of the ordinary is sure to capture the interest of your guests. 

If your home already has a fairly eclectic vibe, then do not be afraid to try
this technique, as the look achieved will fit in perfectly with the rest of
your décor. 

Peruse your local flea market for one-off vintage
handles or even a quick search online will bring you a multitude of options..

Revive Your Light Switches

Similar to door
handles, jazzing up the standard styles present in your home will personalize
it. 

If your house is minimalist and contemporary, then you could go for a sleeker
chrome design, or if you like colourful décor, try a patterned design (yes,
they exist!)

Family Candles

A cute way of dressing up your mantle piece is to
place a candle with the initial of each family member on the jar, just like these ones. 

 You can
add odds and ends in between each, such as your favorite family photos in
ornate frames. Another idea is to actually spell out the family name with the
candles to create a more personal feel.

Words Upon A Wall

Painting (or in another manner of display) your
family mantra onto the wall is a great way to remind your household of the core
values you share as a unit. 

The entryway is a great location for this; placing
the quote either above the front door or above the stairs as your family will
be reminded of it every time they leave or enter the house.

Fresh Flowers

Flowers are a simple, affordable way of injecting a
pop of color and adding subtle fragrance to your home. The fake variety can work, but real always seem to look better. 

House them in unusually shaped vases or
even mason jars to add an extra bit of interest to any room. You could also tie
some ribbon in a bow around the jar or vase as a finishing touch.
