Are you getting ready to have your first housewarming party? It’s a really fun way to celebrate your new home and get to know your neighbors. But before the party can start, you need to make your home feel more personal and inviting. Here are some steps that will help you do just that!

Painting Your Walls

painting a house

Paint is one of the quickest and easiest ways to change the feeling of a room. If your walls are currently white or beige, consider painting them a different color. Something brighter and more inviting like yellow or light green can really make a difference. You could also paint an accent wall in a bolder color to create more visual interest. We provided a guide to painting like a pro.

If you have any blank walls, consider hanging some artwork or photos. This will help to make the space feel more personal and inviting. You could also hang a mirror to reflect light and make the room appear larger.

Brighten up your space with plants

Another way to add personality to your home is with plants. Plants can brighten up any space and make it feel more alive. If you don’t have a green thumb, consider fake plants or even just some simple greenery like succulents.

Do you have any old furniture that you’re not using? Maybe it’s time to get rid of it and replace it with something new. Adding some new furniture can really help to change the look and feel of a room.

Rugs can also help to make a space feel more personal and inviting. If your floors are currently bare, consider adding a rug or two. Rugs can add color, pattern, and texture to a room, which can really make a difference. Just be sure to choose rugs that are the right size for the space. You don’t want them to be too small or too big.

Lighting

Lighting can really make a difference in the feel of a space. If your home is currently feeling a little bit dark and dreary, consider adding some additional lighting fixtures. This could be something as simple as adding a lamp to an empty corner or hanging some fairy lights around the window. You could also try changing out your light bulbs for something brighter. Just a few small changes can really make a big difference!

Spruce up your space with decor

Finally, don’t forget the little things. Things like pillows, throws, and candles can really help to make a space feel cozier and inviting. These items can also add some color and pattern to a room. So, if your home is currently feeling a little bland, consider adding some of these items to help brighten things up.

These are just a few ideas to help you make your new home feel more personal and inviting before your housewarming party. Just remember to have fun with it and make it your own! Guests will be sure to appreciate all of the efforts you’ve put into making your home feel like their own little oasis.

Protect your biggest investment with a home inspection from HOMESHAPE Inspections.

A home is the most important purchase most people make in their lifetime, so it’s crucial to know everything about the property before you buy it. Our home inspections will teach you about your house – what shape it’s in, what needs repairs, and how to maintain it properly.

You’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing every issue we found with the property, along with photos of any damage or problems. This information will help you make an informed decision about whether or not to buy the house. And if you do decide to buy it, our reports can also be used as a bargaining tool to get the price lowered.

He walked me thru the home, pointing out, and explaining the process and potential issues. He displays care and expertise in the very thorough inspection report provided immediately after inspection. After the inspection, he called me to explain his report and to offer some resources I may need as a new homeowner. I could tell how much he cares about his profession, and that he is looking out for my best interests. I highly recommend HomeShape Inspections, they offer timely quality service at a great value. I called Homeshape again for another 4 point inspection and I am very satisfied with the service I received. I will definitely use them again. read less

I didn't really know who to call, from the dozens and dozens of home inspectors out there. I looked at a list I found online, and felt overwhelmed by the number of choices, knowing I needed to start calling inspectors at random to figure out who I was going to hire. I scanned the list, held my breath, picked out my first selection, and made my first call. Luckily my first call turned out to be the only call I needed to make. Howard Burch at Homeshape picked up the phone, answered my questions and I hired him. He made it easy. He was extremely professional and he truly loves his work. If you need a home inspection, do yourself a favor and call Howard first. You'll save yourself the hassle of needing to call anyone else. read less

I never post reviews but this was such a great and seamless experience that I had to do it. I was given a lot of information on the phone call leading up to the inspection that blew me away with the knowledge I was given. On inspection day Howard was on time and very professional. Helping me with any question I had. This is a great company and I would and will refer Homeshape Inspections to any and everybody! read less

Howard was able to get that done quick and gave me the report only a few hours after the inspection. All around a fantastic home inspector and will be using him from now on. read less

The inspections we purchased were Comprehensive, Mold, 4 - Point, Uniform Mitigation (wind) and Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO). Our inspector was Mr. Howard Burch and he was highly knowledgeable on the process and answered all our questions. He encouraged us to be onsite for the inspection and we chose to do that. He pointed out some minor deterioration and areas that may be of concern in the future. The 4-point and Uniform Mitigation inspection reports were needed to secure a homeowners insurance policy. I highly recommend HOMESHAPE Inspections and Mr. Burch. I am glad we used their services and it is a Veteran Owned Business. They do offer discounts to Veterans. read less
