They say your home is an extension of one’s self. What’s inside is a reflection of a person’s interests, dreams, aspirations, and so much more. When friends and family come to visit, you want them to immediately see and feel that this place is YOURS. So how can your express your personality through your living space? Here are a few decorating ideas – these won’t break your budget and will give your home personality and a fresh update.
1. For the Fitness Buff
Hanging your sports equipment, such as your bike, on the wall will also save you on storage space.
I’ve been invited to my friend’s house, who’s an avid cyclist. He kept his walls bare and used it to display his beloved road bikes. It was hitting two birds with one stone as the walls served as storage space for his sports equipment.
You can also frame your race bibs, hang your medals, or display your favorite motivational quotes.
2. For the Bookworm
See that sweet spot by the window? We’d love to curl up and read there!

f there’s one thing a reader can’t do without, it’s a cozy reading nook. That’s where you can unwind after a busy day at work or curl up with your favorite bestsellers when you don’t feel like going out during the weekend.
3. For the Proud Parents
Showcase your child’s creativity with a mini gallery in your living room dedicated to his or her projects.
You can mount your child’s drawings/school projects in a frame and create a mini gallery. These pieces of art are definitely one of a kind, and it’s a fun way to showcase your little one’s creativity through the years.
4. For the Crafts-y
Jazz up your home with accessories you created yourself!
If you’re into arts and crafts and are excellent at creating things, you can put your skills into good use and make home accessories like these charming crocheted coasters. The only limit is your imagination.
5. For the Traveler
These travel souvenirs hold a lot of great memories worth sharing.
Don’t let souvenirs from your trips be forgotten or stashed somewhere collecting dust. Arrange them into beautiful vignettes – this will be a sure-fire conversation starter. You can collage all your postcards, boarding passes, maps, and brochures and turn it into a decor that’s truly your own.
6. For the Eco Warrior
Upcycling is a budget and eco-friendly way to give your home a distinct look and feel.
Concerned about the planet? This is your opportunity to show that you really walk the walk and talk the talk. Incorporate some eco-friendly designs at home. You can upcycle materials such as wood pallets and turn these into a shelf for your home office, such as the one above.
7. For the Foodie
At The Vantage at Kapitolyo, you can give your unit a look and feel that’s truly your own.
If you love to cook or eat or entertain (or maybe all of the above), the dining area will be the centerpiece of your home. Invest in a dining set that’s stylish yet inviting enough for you and your guests to linger and keep the conversation – and good times – going.
