Your home is the place where you should feel at your most comfortable and relaxed. However, achieving a luxurious aesthetic and relaxing vibe in your home can be challenging, even more so if your decorating budget is limited.
Fortunately, you don’t have to break the bank to have a house that looks like it belongs in a luxury magazine. These interior design and decoration ideas can give your home a stylish new look from adding canvas art to bringing in plants.
How to make your home look expensive
Whether you’re preparing to sell your house or simply want to improve your living area, you don’t need to spend a fortune to get significant results. These are some simple ways you can follow to take your interiors to a different level of sophistication.
1) Invest in wall art
Hanging interesting art pieces is a simple and economical way to update the look of your wall. Framed pieces may transform an empty wall into a luxurious art gallery from family pictures to canvas wall art.
Before putting up any artwork, you should plan where everything will go and how you will hang them properly. Likewise, you should choose wall décor that’s appropriate in terms of both scale and size. Keep in mind that you don’t have to hang art on every blank wall in your home.
2) Get creative with lights
Investing in a unique light fixture is usually a smart move. It serves as a conversation piece in a living or dining area and adds elegance to the interior. Additionally, the light will set the ambiance of your house, whether in daytime or at nighttime.
Moreover, carefully decide the bulb’s color depending on the mood you want to set in the space. You can also get a beautifully designed light fixture as a statement. Consider purchasing a basic cylinder lamp shade for added aesthetic.
3) Create the illusion of a higher ceiling
Drapes and curtains effectively enhance the height of a room. Ceiling-to-floor drapes make a room seem taller since it directs the viewer’s gaze upward. In addition, consider using a sheer or light-colored material to let in more natural light.
Pro tip: Never purchase excessively short drapes. To ensure that you don’t commit that mistake, take the time to measure your window before heading out to the store. If you can’t find the right fit in the store, don’t fret. You can create one on your own. You just need a sheer, lightweight fabric. Then you’re good to go. (1)
4) Keep your home clutter-free
Clutter doesn’t look luxurious in any way. To get rid of clutter, dispose of whatever you don’t need or want. It’s also a good idea to use the rule of threes when de-cluttering an interior space. This means that items look their best when arranged in odd numbers, particularly threes. (2)
So to keep your clutter orderly and hidden, find a place for everything. You can then shop for stylish baskets and containers to file your stuff away. Also, be sure to allow plenty of space on your walls and tables. Remember, when it comes to achieving a luxurious appearance, less is more.
5) Bring nature in
A touch of nature can lift the character of the house. Adding plants to an area adds aesthetic value and liveliness, which is why they’re becoming increasingly popular in contemporary interior design. And apart from their inherent beauty, they also benefit your general health.
According to a new study, keeping a few plants inside your house may also let you sleep better. Simply spending 15 minutes with green plants before bed may enhance sleep quality by lowering the amount of micro-awakening episodes. These are the number of times you arise or wake up from deep sleep. (3)
So to get the plant’s full benefits, keep the plants in the bedroom. Additionally, place them near the door or window where it can get enough sunlight. However, if maintaining a plant can be a hassle for you, try a rustic vibe by decorating with dried plants.
6) Add a fresh coat of paint
A new coat of paint is an inexpensive way to revitalize any space in your house. And you may be shocked at how much this little improvement may alter the ambiance of your house. To start, select a neutral color palette to create an atmosphere of serenity. Neutrals are timeless and never go out of style, which gives them a luxurious vibe.
Bottom line
In reality, you can achieve a luxury home interior in simple ways. You can start by defining your style of luxury and sticking to the tips in this article. Afterward, you’ll be amazed by how simple it is to turn your house into a showpiece, even on a limited budget.
