4 Reasons Why Your New Home Isn’t Sparking Joy Anymore

The tale is as old as time; you fall in love with the home during your tour with the realtor, and you seal the deal immediately. When you move in, though, the same marble flooring or iron entry doors don’t seem to be bringing you as much happiness anymore.

This isn’t anything new. You've probably gone to a store at some point, tried an outfit on, and thought it looked terrific, but when you come back home… it doesn't impress as much. This is because retailers (and realtors) use many techniques to make their products look better.

When you toured the home earlier, you were looking at it with rose-colored glasses. You were taken in with what the realtor had done with the house and were busy imagining its potential. Now it's time to figure out what's missing so you can start making changes to your new home.

 

There’s Not Enough ‘You’ In It

Sometimes houses look great when you’re touring them, but moving into them can change how you view things ultimately. Suddenly, everything new can seem annoying and strange. What you're missing in this scenario is the personal element.

Before a home can feel like your own and start sparking joy, there has to be a personal touch. Hang up some family pictures, or pin up the cute drawings your grandkids made for you to start feeling like this your own place.

It Doesn’t Balance Natural Elements

Sometimes new homes can feel strange when they lack proper design in terms of natural elements. For the outdoorsy kind of people, there has to be some greenery around them, or they may feel like something’s off.

Balancing out the minimalism of black steel windows and doors with some indoor plants or succulents can help make the place seem more familiar.

You’re Noticing All the Worn-Out Details

When you initially see the house, you may not be noticing anything old or worn because the space is new to you. However, once you move in, the modern-style urban door can feel run-down and creaky.

The scratches on the paint, the clunky kitchen design, or the old-fashioned windows are all examples of things you probably didn't notice before but are now really bothered by. A few renovations and your home can look transformed!


Your Interior Design Nerve is Itching

Another possibility is that now that you’ve moved into the home, your sense of interior design is itching for you to shake things up a bit. You can start by getting all the doors in your house changed. For a refreshed look, some steel frame doors with square panes can open up space and add some balance to a fully decorated home.  

You can accentuate this look with some exterior steel windows from Pinky's Iron Doors, and your new interior look will be complete! You can also order some of their beautiful custom wrought iron doors, black steel French doors, iron glass doors, and industrial style steel doors for your interior remodel.

Don’t forget to look at their clearance section for discount iron doors that don’t compromise on quality!
