As the housing market in New Zealand is so crazy right now, not a lot of people actually own houses. Which means we are all temporary renters, and while renting a house, it can be hard to make it actually feel like home. But as I am a massive nester in new places, I have tried my hardest. Here are a few tips that have helped me to make a house feel like home:

1. Art Pictures, Paintings and Prints. These make all the empty cold spaces on the walls actually feel wonderful. It's a way to express yourself and put your own little signature on the place!

2. Flowers and Plants Nothing brings a place to life better than life itself. Plants and flowers just make the place look incredible and feel so bright!

3. Candles/Scents Adding on to that cosy vibe. Candles and scents, whether they be incense or perfume reeds/air fresheners, just help to make a house feel more lived in and nested, you know?

4. Photos Nothing makes a home more than pictures of your loved ones!

Let me know how you go about nesting in your own home, I'd love to know!
