6. Forgetting Personal Touches
Rooms that mimic catalog pages may be visually appealing, but they often lack the warmth and authenticity that make a house feel like home. Experts stress the importance of weaving in personal touches—family photos, travel mementos, heirlooms, or cherished collections—to create a truly inviting and meaningful space.
These unique elements tell your story and foster a sense of belonging. Striking the right balance between styled and personal ensures your home feels lived-in, not staged. For inspiration on making your space uniquely yours, explore MyDomaine’s guide to personalizing your home.
