Australia is home to all different sorts of houses from the high-rise apartments found in the bustling cities to the large, open plan ranch houses in the country. But, despite all these differences, everyone wants to really put their own stamp of personality on their house; after all, it is the little touches that turn a house into a home. It doesn't matter if you have a big or small budget; there are things you can do to turn your house into the home of our dreams.

Custom-Made Blinds

Custom-made blinds can be anything, from minor changes on commercially made blinds (like tweaking the colour) to fully customised and made specifically for one window. If you have a certain themed room, then getting custom-made blinds can really draw the whole room together. Getting a room to have a unified theme is all about getting the minor details right which is it is so important to get custom-made blinds for your house. 

Maybe you want to get a print of your favourite movie scenes on your blinds, or maybe you want a more tactile set of blinds that are made from a material not available to the public (i.e. steel blinds to fit a metallic theme). Whatever you want, getting your blinds custom-made for you is a great way to impart your personality on your house.

Virtual Home Assistant 

As our world gets more and more connected to the cloud and online services, there has been new inventions that have revolutionised what home life can be. None have done this more than virtual assistants have, and there are currently four main options to choose from: Alexa, Google Assistant, Cortana and Siri. All of these have individual perks and benefits, but there are some unifying benefits which include: being able to voice control your music choice, which lights you want to be turned on, what channel or movie you want on and even what kitchen appliances you want ready to use. More and more devices are becoming compatible with these assistants every day which means this is a good investment for the future. If you want a house that is designed for your tastes, then a virtual assistant is a necessity. 

Individual Pieces Of Furniture

A great way to show your individuality is to get one of a kind pieces of furniture that fit our tastes. While there is nothing wrong with commercially made furniture, and for many people there is no other option, having chairs or a table that you know is the only one of its kind in existence gives your house a sense of uniqueness that can be hard to find. This does not mean just go out and buy any piece of furniture that matches this description but, rather, spend time looking for furniture that you really like and narrowing down your options. Local carpenters can make customisable furniture for you as well if you can't find any ones that fit your needs.
