Whenever people move into a new house, there is generally nothing more than walls, ceilings and floors. Some places do come furnished, but the pieces there are something picked out by people they generally do not know. Turning a house into a home takes work, and those who live there are often looking for ways to make it feel like they will reside there for a very long time.

Furniture can be a large part of what makes a house into a home, but it is often the smallest touches that create the feeling residents seek. Art on the walls, family pictures scattered throughout the rooms and favorite mementos are all part of how they create their homelike feeling. For residents, it makes it worth working all day long to return home, and their visitors will get a glimpse into who they are whenever they visit.
