If you’re working on a budget, then there are still ways that you can easily make your home look luxurious. With some creativity and careful planning, you can select items that transform your home without needing to spend a fortune, or anything at all in some cases. So, get ready to fall in love with your home again with our tips on how to make your home look luxury for less!
Stick To A Neutral Colour Scheme
Firstly, a great way to make your home look luxury for less is to stick to a neutral colour scheme. When you have lots of bright colours and textures, if it’s not done carefully, it can take the luxury feeling away from your home. So, start with neutral colours like off white, bright white and nude shades, or light pastel colours, and immediately the room will feel fresher and it will bring a touch of modern home decor. It will also feel more spacious which helps with the luxury element. Then, with your soft furnishings, finishing touches and wall art, you can add more colour and texture to show off your own interior design style and to bring the space to life. Try this with one room to begin with and you’ll see just how much it can transform your space.
Hang High Curtains
Another good tip is to hang your curtains high! When you choose to hang them high, it immediately makes the room feel more aesthetically pleasing, as it gives the illusion of a taller room. Floor to ceiling curtains also add style and elegance to the space, so are absolutely worth investing in. There are plenty of online retailers who sell tall curtains at a great rate, so it doesn’t have to cost much. Plus, when you get good quality curtains, it is an investment as they last a really long time.
Add Rugs
Something else you can add to your space that can bring a luxury feel is rugs! Bringing comfort, style and character to any room, you can get rugs at a decent price that look and feel luxurious. This is a great cost effective alternative to needing to replace all of your carpets or floors, covering up different marks and stains that can ruin the aesthetic of the look, whilst also adding to the look of your home.
Focus On Your Bedding, Throws and Cushions
If you’re wanting one thing to focus on in order to make your home look luxurious, then it should be your bedding, throws and cushions. Spending on these things can make such a difference, as you can choose more affordable base items like sofas or bed sheets and then the more luxurious soft furnishings can bring everything to life. From your sofa cushion covers through to your bedroom throws, change up your soft furnishings and it will bring the luxury feel to any space.
Update Your Lighting
Really bright lighting doesn’t bring a luxury feel to your space at all, so when you mix it up and update your lighting, it can make all the difference. Start with swapping out bright light bulbs for warmer ones, as this can immediately make a space feel more luxurious and also create a more welcoming and cosy atmosphere. If it’s within your budget, get yourself a corner lamp for the room and a coffee table lamp, as this will create dimension within the space and that automatically results in a luxury space. Glass light fixtures bring such a lovely, luxury feel especially. Finish off the space with some candles and enjoy!
Declutter
One of the best things you can do for your home in terms of luxury is to declutter. When you have clutter on surfaces around your home, whether it’s household clutter or decorations you’ve added over time, when it’s too much, it can create a cheaper feel. So, start by getting rid of obvious clutter, like filing letters that are lying around, getting rid of broken toys, old magazines and anything else along those lines.
After this, start to look at how you can declutter things that are on show in your home, like seasonings or appliances that are on your kitchen side, or books and toys that could be stored away. A cleaner aesthetic in your home will give a luxury feel, plus it’ll be easier to keep clean. Take away clutter, potentially replace it with more simplistic decor, and you’ll fall in love with your home.
