New Homeowner Alert: How to Make Your Santa Fe House Feel More Like Home

New Mexico is definitely the place to be if you’re tired of the congestion and noise of a big city but still want to live in an upscale urban environment. Santa Fe, in particular, is the perfect balance between small-town calm and metropolitan benefits.

However, a move to your new house in Santa Fe can be disorienting, which is why you may not be feeling at home yet. However, there are always some tasks you need to accomplish before you really settle in.

From adding some ornate wrought iron doors, to adding personal sentimental items; here are our top recommendations.

 

Marie Kondo Your Home

You may have heard of Marie Kondo, of Netflix and cleanliness fame. Her method for clearing up a home works best when you’re working with a cluttered house, but you can also apply her techniques to get unpacked and feeling comfortable too!

Marie has two basic principles: a place for everything, and does it bring you joy? The first principle means that you should have a set place for everything in your home based on your convenience. So, while you’re unpacking make sure you follow your needs when placing items.

Second, if there’s something about the house that doesn’t spark joy, you need to throw it out! Make all the changes you want; this is your safe space now.

Kitchen-Warming Time

Once everything has been set up, you may want to get yourself acquainted. Cooking or baking is the best way to do this. A fragrant dish of lasagna bubbling in the oven or some warm apple pie on the counter can transform how you feel about the place.

Not only will you feel more used to the new space, you’ll also be feeling the emotional connection the food that you associate with home.

Hang Some Pictures and Art

There’s no better way to lay your claim to the house than to hang up those family portraits or frame that lovely piece of art you have lying around. Don’t be afraid to drill some holes and get the job done yourself. Trust us — it will make a world of difference to the way the house looks and feels to you.


Install a Showstopping Design Element

What says home better than your own design taste becoming a part of this new house? Installing a custom or high-quality element to the house will help you like it a lot better, just because you chose the piece.

For example, the custom black steel doors and wrought iron doors by Pinky’s Iron Doors are to die for and can be delivered to your doorstep ready to install. Your black steel doors in Santa Fe are going to be the talk of the neighborhood (in a good way!) and the durability of these doors will make up for the cost.

Pinky’s Iron Doors creates and delivers black steel windows, black steel doors and wrought iron doors to Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Sandoval, Carlsbad, Edgewood, Los Alamos, Corrales and other locations in New Mexico.
