Trying these following interior decorating tips will enhance your home into a much more expensive style:
Simplicity At Its Peak
When we usually thought of luxury homes, many people would start looking for expensive fabrics, furniture, art pieces, paint swatches, and other interior pieces.
But have you ever noticed what is the most eye-catching thing about luxurious homes? Simplicity! Simplicity more often means sophistication.
Luxury is minimalism! Even though it’s not about downsizing, a home filled with a lot of pieces of furniture, books, and other unwanted items is a big No! You can look for chic baskets and bins to help you organize your clutter and out-of-sight.
Yes, the interior and the minimalistic space you choose for your home can hit differently! You can start with cluttering your home.
You can sell or donate all the old furniture, books, lamps, and whatever may be out of fashion! So, for a more expensive look, start with cluttering your home.
Play With The Colors
Choosing a color or a combination of colors you select for your home play a significant role in determining the home’s expensive look and feel.
If looks can be deceiving, you can achieve it through the colors you choose. Color is subjective to all, and it can make a space calmer, inspiring, and feel more spacious at a time.
Selecting the correct concentration, tone, and amount of paint that brings balance to your expensive looks. Choosing the right tone of color is entirely personal, as it shows how your energy reflects.
Rather than using multiple colors in a room, it is best recommended to use one primary color and a secondary color.
If you want your place to look cozy, classy, and intimate, go for darker shades of paints. If you’re going to plan home with a more relaxing and welcoming look, you can go for lighter colors.
Invest in Outstanding Arts
Maybe it’s a painting that goes along with your color scheme or exquisitely printed photograph of Ansel Adams, try to make it one statement piece.
Every work of art needs to be arranged in a well-lit, adequately scaled framework in which it can add a more expensive look.
It doesn’t mean you have to buy that masterpiece art of the museum; you can purchase high end looking paintings from your nearest art store, or you can also customize your paintings.
If done right, you can make any inexpensive art into a thoughtful and meaningful center of attraction in your home.
As per your budget, you can choose between framed paints, designer artwork, hand made artwork, canvas wall art, or any other great photography.
Before purchasing a new artwork thinking outside of 2-D surfaces will open up a wide array of ideas you can create.
Add Moldings to Your Wall
If you feel like your walls are still looking bare even after adding appropriate color schemes and artwork, you might want to consider adding molding to your wall.
If you already have moldings, try to update it with the latest fashion or your new interior structure. You can add moldings to the baseboard, chair rail, or ceiling as per your taste.
It doesn’t have to be a Victorian type mansion, a single-depth piece of molding will do the eye-catchy expensive trick. You can pay a visit to your local Home Depot or similar store to install moldings.
Depending on your DIY skills, you can create a signature molding look to your house. Or you can always have the option to go the easy route with self-adhesive molding tapes.
Update Old Fixtures
Another best way to look more expensive is investing in your other household fixtures like fixing electronic devices, kitchen wares, lights and lamps, mirrors to catch up with the fashion.
An excellent place to begin updating your fixtures is by upgrading some of the less appealing light fittings. You can add a hanging light fixture.
Changing the kitchen environment can also do wonders and bring more luxurious light into your home, especially if you have an open kitchen.
One of the easiest kitchen upgrade techniques you can adopt is upgrading from plastics kitchenwares to using glass or metal alternatives. Updating your doorknobs, drawer pulls, and light switch plates can’t be too expensive.
You can also update your hardware in your bathroom to get a classic, spacious look. Investing in a new shower and closet settings or a towel bar with a coordinating drawer will do the trick.
Furniture Is a Must
Choose your furniture and pillow colors as same as your interior. Like the attention you give to your artworks, you should show off your taste with a statement piece of furniture.
When planning with your furniture arrangements, focus mainly on having each room have its own centerpiece, but make sure it’s the room’s focus. These can be simple from a wooden bed frame, a velvet armchair, or a plush sofa set with cushions.
You can adapt to more classic styles and fabrics such as natural linens, soft leather, or luxurious velvet, which will work in a variety of interior styles and furniture. Remember to don’t clutter your rooms with too much furniture.
Make Sure Your Curtains Stand Out
Combining luxurious curtains and blinds give a finishing look to your house, or let’s say it can make or break a room’s aesthetic.
Choosing color tones to match with your interior and selecting the right fabrics is not enough! When you are planning to invest in curtains, make sure to hang them long and wide.
The fabrics choice between linen, silk, faux silk, and velvet will do the tricks. It is also recommended to avoid using brighter colors for curtains as time goes, the sunlight will fade the fabric’s texture.
As we are on a tight budget, you can try some affordable blinds to add a touch of expensiveness to your home.
