When you move into a new home, you probably do so with intention of turning it into somewhere you love. You want it to feel like a home, and not just like somewhere you happen to live. But if you don't start that process soon after you move in, you can end up not really doing it at all. Instead, you just start to settle into the house as it is, making do with what you have. It can end up with you living somewhere that doesn't really feel particularly special and that you don't know what you're doing with. What you need is a clear vision of what your home should be and how it can meet your needs.
Think About How You Want to Use Your Home
Before you consider the specific aesthetics of your home, you really need to think about the practicalities. How you want to use your home is more important than what it looks like, but it also has a significant effect on what it looks like. If you feel like your home doesn't currently have any real purpose, you need to think about how you want to use it. Consider what you do when you're at home, from the chores you need to do to your hobbies. What features might make your home more suited to you and your family?

Find Inspiration
If you want to create a home that follows a more coherent vision, you have to start somewhere. Coming up with some kind of theme or style that you want to follow can be difficult if you don't really know where to begin. But it can be a lot easier to work out what you want if you start looking for some inspiration. There are plenty of places to get ideas, from Pinterest to blogs, magazines, and interior design TV shows.
Try Looking at a Blank Canvas
It can be tough to choose a vision for your home if you find it difficult to picture it looking any different from its current state. When you first moved in, maybe it was easier to think of what you would do with it. But now it's full of stuff, it's hard to look past it all. Giving yourself the chance to look at a blank canvas could be useful. Try looking for storage units near you so that you have a temporary space to clear out all your stuff. It will give you a chance to look at your home with fresh eyes. It's also a good way to start sorting through clutter.

Clarify Your Vision
When you have some ideas you can work with, start narrowing down some kind of theme, style, or even just a color scheme. You might even think about what kind of feeling you want to create or what kind of atmosphere you're going for. Do you want your home to be cozy and inviting? Maybe you want it to be bright and airy. There are all kinds of ways you can choose a vision for your home.
Get a clear vision for your home and finally give it some purpose so that you can feel more at home than ever.
