If you don’t want your home to be just like everyone elses; if you want your own personality to shine through in every inch of the decor, there are lots of things you can do to ensure your place is more unique than the rest.

Below are some of the most interesting ways you can bring a touch of uniqueness to your property right now:

1. Display your personality

The best way to make your home more unique to you is undoubtedly to display more things that are personal to you. There has been a trend of late to move personal photos and mementos in favor of art prints and cookie-cutter knick-knacks, and there is nothing wrong with that, but having your personal photos, souvenirs from your travels, and art you have made yourself will always make the place more special. And more important,y, more unique than the rest.

2. Custom windows

If you have a bit of money to spend, and you want to improve your home’s curb appeal, then having custom window replacements installed is a good way to do that. Having windows that are arches rather than square or stained glass instead of clear, will boost your home’s uniqueness and its value from the outside in.

3. Choose an interesting color palette

Just like various colors and patterns are in fashion when it comes to clothing, the same is true of your home’s color palette. A while ago there was a trend for interiors that were all white, and recently gray has been having a bit of a moment with the masses. By choosing a color that you love, but which is not necessarily the most fashionable choice right now, you can ensure that your home stands out and makes you happy whenever you are spending time indoors.

4. Swap out the hardware

Why have standard drawer pulls when you could have gold elephants or crystal ears instead? Why have standard faucets when you could have designer ones? If you’re on a low budget and you’re looking to make your home more unique, then switching out the regular hardware for quirkier versions is a really subtle, but effective way to do it. It shows you have put more thought into your home decor when even the little touches are more interesting, after all.

5. Add an antique

Antique and vintage furniture and home decorations can really make your home stand out. Whether it’s a 1920s velvet couch or a victorian hatstand, if you can find pieces that are not so common in most modern homes, and dot them around the house, you can be sure that you will add more character to the place, and antiques really don’t have to be expensive if you’re willing to hunt around for them and choose pieces that you really only ever come across once in a blue moon.

A home that is unique to you feels more special than a home that looks just like the rest, so what are you waiting for?
