The land of grey peas and bacon

So I went to ikea today to get a few bits to finish off my house to feel more like a home...it looks lovely does your house feel like home?

I like to think so. My house is clean and tidy but not pristine. I don't want people to feel they can't move for fear of disturbing a cushion

I like people to kick their shoes off and just sit back.

Me too I want people to just chill out and for them to feel at home...in my house you are not a guest it's a case of helping yourself to food and drink etc

Mine was unfurnished when I moved in and bought literally every thing from IKEA except my beds. The art works in my room and living room gives the apartment a great boost too.

I don't have it all how I want it yet (not been here long) but I adore a couple of the rooms and feel so happy and content here, the excitement of living in a new place hasn't worn off yet

Yes, but I've been there over 20 years so if it didn't feel like home I'd be a very sad bunny.

It's not homely for others though, except the ex who makes himself at home wherever he is.

My dressing room (ok it's technically a guest bedroom) is quite girly, dove grey walls, candles and flowers, matching toile print curtains and bedding, shit loads of scatter cushions, but the rest of the house isn't really! I don't like too much clutter around me so I don't have loads of ornaments and things.

I took some wonderful 'sunset over the ocean' pictures while I was in Australia. I've just had 4 of them turned into canvas prints and hung them in my bedroom.

They look great

Definitely, my main bedroom is quite neutral...a compromise. Sometimes go and sleep in the girlie room if I'm home alone though

On the London renting ladder and it's sometimes hard to make the feel of the place as a home but I have found a somewhat disproportionate liking for cushions just now

That and prints/art and fairy lights, I may as well invest I girlie furnishings

I agree when I was in London I lived in a studio apartment with a separate kitchen there was nothing I could do to make it look homely it was like living in a shoe box a very expensive £650 a month shoe box

Cushions and fairy lights will help make female visitors feel welcome. That's what you mean, don't you?

Not quite, I'm having renovations and an extension done. When it's all complete I hope that it does feel more like home.

I can understand that I've had to work around the decor as mine is rented

I'm'm just looking for the finishing touches for the bathroom. Mr H has made a fabulous job of it I love our little home. The whole place needs a face lift as it's showing battle scars from crazy kids. It's very lived in and I can't wait for it to be less cluttered.

It's getting there. This last couple of years I've decorated most of the rooms to my tastes.

When I say I've I mean daddy decorators have followed my brief and decorated for me while I was at work haha......mainly just the wallpapering. I'm not good at that.

About to move house! For the first time ever, it won't be rented but bought. VERY excited.

I can see me spending a fortune to get it how we want it, again for the first time ever! I'm excited by the possibilities of staying still for a while.

Ikea here I come.

We are lucky enough to have moved into a new build house.

We've had to buy everything and spent a small fortune doing so, but it's finally feeling like home now.

Putting pictures on the walls have made a big difference as they make rooms feel personal.

Anyone got any ideas how to style a house properly? I've been living with badly matched worn out everything for so long, left over from student days long long ago.

How do I make my house look like a grown up with taste lives there?

I've tried the Houz website but it's overwhelming!

Styling doesn't make it a home, love does. Choose things you love and want to live with.

No, not yet.

I've been here 17 months now too.

My cats are here, my furniture is here, my pictures are on the walls and my stuff is here. I'm not sure what's missing.

^^^This...although the clean and tidy bit is down to my wonderful Ms Mop rather than myself...

Just had a new front door put on and replaced some of the interior doors (that the cats had ravaged instead of using the perfectly good scratching posts I've bought than) with uPVC internals...and for the first time in 15 years, I now have a bedroom door (I took it off when I moved in so I could strip it down for the "distressed" look...I ended up with the "suicidal" look and bunged it in the outhouse til I chucked it a coupla years ago)

Next thing on the agenda is a new kitchen, but I dunno if I can stand the upheaval

I moved out when I had my kitchen done. I couldn't cope with the mess and upheaval.

I am thinking of redoing the floors but the thought of moving everything fills me with dread.
