Five Ways to Personalize Your Home Decorations
In a world where everything is mass-produced, we want to have something we can call our own. We do not want to walk at someone else's doorstep and see the exact wood furniture we have at home. Although it would not make our home look bad, it is still nice to know that no one else have that same piece of furniture.
This is difficult to achieve though. After all, it is expensive to have everything custom made. However, you can do several tricks to personalize your home decorations. All you need is a plan, time, color ideas, and creativity. You do not even have to hire an interior designer to do it.
Here are some of the tricks you can do:
1. Do something with the artwork you bought or the old furniture you have. You do not have to create everything. If you found a metal artwork stored at your garage, you can bring it back in your living area. Before you do so, make sure that you update it. There are metal treatments you can use to change its effects. You can also stain it with the shade you want.
2. Use your photos or artwork on the wall. Instead of buying cheap posters and other wall hangings, why not use your favorite photo. The technology today allows you to enlarge those photos. The same thing with your artworks, instead of storing them at the side, you can line them on your wall. You can also have the frames custom made or purchase one. You will be sure that no one else will have the same decoration on his or her wall.
3. Sew your own curtains instead of buying them. It is easier to buy ready-made curtains. All you have to do is hang them on the wall after the purchase. However, if you want to have a personalized look, you can use two fabrics that match your interior. You can layer it and sew them together. This way, you will have a unique curtain.
4. Arrange home accessories personally. You can get inspiration from home decoration magazines. You can also watch interior designers do their magic in their respective programs. After that, you will be able to manage arranging the accessories. You can choose its colors and sizes. Although you did not make the accessories, you will be able to put in your personal style by arranging it.
5. Come up with your own color scheme. Interior designers are encouraging their clients to come with their own color schemes. This is a very big help in personalizing your style. This way, you will know what color to use to update your old furniture just like the metal artwork you in the garage. You can use the color wheel, or a photo of your favorite place.
Not everyone has the patient to personalize his or her home decorations. However, it does not have to be difficult, tedious, and expensive. You can use what you currently have and incorporate your personal items and style to it.

job ideas (compassion + creativity)?
I need some career ideas please.
I recently did a career pathways test to direct me to what I'm most interested in/good at. The 2 things it highlighted was that I love to help people & and I love to do anything creative (whether its cake decorating, sewing, interior decoration, photography, painting, scrapbooking, cooking etc.)
>>> Please help me think of jobs that involve either helping people &/or creative stuff. <<<
Ideally, I would love a jokb combining both of these things! :-)
Another thing I should mention is that I don't want to have to go to university for years to study. I hate study. I just want a job. I do not currently have the motivation or energy levels to go back to study. I just want to get into the workforce. Thanks.
>>> Please help me think of jobs that don't require endless years at university. I want a job that I don't have to study for. <<<
Teachers, especially early childhood educators, need both compassion and creativity. So do occupational therapists, social workers, nurses, teachers' assistants who work with students who have developmental disabilities.
But if you don't want to go to university, think about to what degree you enjoy helping people. You can have a creative job and help people by volunteering your time doing something else.
