In today's world it is really important to have a space of your own where you can feel at home. Times have moved forward and the amount of stressors and triggers have increased. There is work pressure, family pressure and any other sort that you can possibly imagine. Modern style homes can start to feel a little pretentious and a little daunting too. So what do you do to make them feel less aloof and cold? Here's our guide on adding a homey touch to your modern built houses:

 

1.    Pick your favorite corner of the house and give it a makeover. If you love reading, you can add a plush bean bag or a comfy chair in your favorite colour and a bookshelf. This will help you in having some relaxing time after a hectic day at work. 

 

2.    You can have a modern styled drawing room for formal gatherings. However, you could give a more traditional and relaxing touch to the TV lounge. This you can do by keep mixed and matched sofas and trinkets that you've collected from your trips or gifts from your favorite people or some casual photographs of your family and friends. You can also have a gaming console here if you are fond of gaming to relax yourself. 

 

3.    You could plan your personal bathroom a little differently. Let's say that the rest of the house has glass shower cubicles that look cold to you and you are more of a bathtub person. So choose that for your bathroom. The key here is to do things that make you feel comfortable and at home. 

 

4.    Many cities in Pakistan are facing water shortage issues so it is becoming increasingly difficult to plan and maintain huge gardens or lawns. If you are someone who enjoys gardening then you can plan a small corner in your car porch or in the backyard of the house. It will even give a pleasant look to the terrace. You will end up with a small peaceful and homey corner in your house. 

 

A house can only be turned into a home if more and more personal thought and touch is added to it. Any architect can make an amazing plan for construction, but it is you who can add the homey touch to it according to what suits your own individual needs.
