People say that the first impression is the best impression. It is a human psychological tendency to form impressions based on a first experience or interaction with something new. But it’s not just about creating a good first impression, but a lasting impression.
Your home is the most explicit reflection of who you are as a person, your behavioural personality, and the kind of lifestyle you live. As such, an impression left on your guests by your home is directly an impression created about you.
The following are a few ways you can leave a great first, and more importantly lasting impression on your guests.
Lighting
Light has always been associated with illuminated moods, emotions, and sentiments. A poorly lit home communicates all the opposite feelings, such as dissatisfaction, sadness, and even loneliness. Light is also the first stimulus that is perceived by people entering your home, thus making it important to bring an abundance of light into your interiors.
The best kind of lighting is undoubtedly natural lighting from the sun. But if your home does not have the most favourable provisions for sunlight, then incorporating electronic lighting would work as a great substitute – even better if they are eco-friendly!
At the same time, too much light can be quite overwhelming, especially on areas where you may not want your guests to focus on. In situations like these, look into options for diverting, reflecting, or blocking the light altogether.
Scent
The aromas that a home gives off can make a big difference in the overall perception of one’s abode. Why? SImply because very few elements in a home are more welcoming than a lovely fragrance. A good scent has the power to stimulate all the right hormones in the brain, thereby inducing pleasant moods and relieved mindsets. The best way to facilitate these fragrances is by opting for natural options such as essential oils, as opposed to chemical, processed methods of infusing the same aromas.
Scents also increase the sense of involvement when perceiving everything in your home, as guests will have more than their visual senses engaged!
Furniture
As the most integral part of a home space, furniture is the element that stands out the most. Furniture gives you the opportunity to really make a statement with different sets and pieces, and help set the tone for the overall aesthetic of your home.
This is also where your interests as a person will reflect the most since the kind of furniture you own is an extension of the things that you love in life, everything that makes your tastes unique.
While it’s good to have lots of furniture and a diverse variety of it, remember not to go too overboard to avoid a chockablock appearance.
Nature
Nature’s embrace imbibes the feeling of ‘life’, no matter how unlively a home interior space may be. Incorporating nature into your house can be as simple as planting different flowers and plants across the interior space, especially negative spaces. Greenery has many positive psychological effects that are an augmentation of Mother Nature’s magic.
Including nature to be a part of your home is a celebration of our beautiful environment that will greatly complement everything element in your home, while bringing out the best emotions in your guests.
Cleanliness
This might sound extremely obvious, but is very important nonetheless. In fact, it should be considered a prerequisite to leaving guests with a positive impression of your home!
Regardless of how beautifully done up your home is, it can still be off putting if it is not spick and span. Simply put, you have to make sure your home is as clean as it can be, because no one likes the sight of dust and dirt around.
Cleanliness also conveys discipline to one’s surroundings, and politeness to visitors.
Remember, your home space says a lot about you as a person, so make sure to put your best foot forward in presenting your abode to any visitor who sets foot inside.
If you are looking for a home to make a statement, then opting for one with spacious interiors inside, world class amenities outside, and nature’s embrace all around is the definitive choice to make.
