Sometimes we all go a bit overboard on a redo, and it can feel like you've just redone away all the things that made the room special. Here are 5 tips and tricks to adding the homeliness back into your home.

1. Just the thing when a design is feeling too cold, a little bit too in the lines, is some art or a painting to add some character back and to make the space fun and different.

2. Although it may seem a bit cliché, a fireplace or fake fireplace automatically raises the room to feel warmer and cosier and just blows away that empty showroom feeling.
3. Sometimes the only thing a room needs is bit of physical comfort, soft and welcoming textures can be added by using fabrics, cushions or by swapping your old sofa out for something softer.
