How to Make Your Home Look Expensive

There are distinct ways and things you can do to upgrade your home. They are things that can easily be done to make your home look a bit more expensive which out necessarily breaking the bank. Regardless of money or not, these can be done to create the illusion of expensiveness and luxury.

#1: Treat each room as a blank slate

Take note of the pre- existing features in your home you can highlight for house decorating ideas. Architectural details such as crown molding, wooden beams, hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, and mosaic-tile backsplashes are all worth focusing on. These details don’t just look expensive; they are expensive. Make them as prominent as possible—keep them clean, clutter-free, and the focal point of the room. For example, don’t splurge on an expensive painting just to have it compete with a show stopping fireplace.

#2: Hang art on the walls

Another easy and affordable home decor idea for your living room and bedroom is to hang unique art pieces on the walls. From family photos to DIY art, framed works can make a house feel like a home. Before mounting any work, homeowners should figure out where everything should be placed and the proper way to hang it. Hire professional art hangers, they exist. Make sure the art you select is the right size and scale for the wall you’re decorating, and remember you don’t need artwork on every empty wall. If you feel creative, a great way to get inexpensive artwork is to create your own.

#3: Update old fixtures

A quick and easy way to decorate on a dime is to update old fixtures, especially in the kitchen. Knobs, handles, drawer pulls, and light switch plates are small, inexpensive details that give your home a high-end sheen. Don’t waste your money on these unreasonably expensive everyday products.

#4: Stick to classic neutral walls

When in doubt on paint color, choose a classic neutral. Colors like beige, gray, greige, and light yellow will always look fresh and on trend. What’s more, they pair well with everything. Limit bold accent colors to accessories, and you’ll never have to repaint an entire room because a bright color choice got to be too much.

Your space is what you make of it. It is yours and you have the right to make it whatever you want. A little extra work should be done if you want to achieve expensiveness and luxury. Let us know if you need any help!
