Do you want to level up your home and make it appear more elegant and expensive, but also don’t wanna break the bank?
What if I told you that these simple tricks and tips can give any room in your house an elegant appearance without spending too much money?
Don’t worry sometimes these small details can make a really big difference.
Why does the house appear cheap?
- using patterns and colors that don’t match
- having different styles in every room
- lacking storage spaces
- using synthetic materials over genuine ones
- lightweight or not enough lighting
Why does the house appear expensive?
- using patterns and colors that match and complement each other
- having and unique style that matches your personality
- smart storage solutions (keeping clutter hidden)
- using indulgent textures like velvet
- strategic lighting that compliments the room
- paying attention to small details and making the house look put together
Tip #1 Choosing a Color Scheme
Choose a color you love and use it for floors, furniture, and fixed elements. Find colors that complement it and use them for walls and other elements. Also, don’t forget to choose matching wood patterns.
DISCLAIMER: You absolutely don’t need to change all your furniture, painting your shelves, tables, and kitchen cabinets with modest colors can give your home a high-end appearance and also add value to your property. Painting is also cost-effective and doesn’t require much time and work. Look at some examples:
I will make another post about matching colors and patterns, but you can use these examples:
- olive green and white
- beige and walnut wood
- cream, beige and grey
- navy blue, white, and redwood
Tip #2 Matching Storage Containers
Storage can be a big problem, especially in smaller houses. With matching containers, you don’t need to hide all your things, and they also work as a room decoration.
It is a simple way to make your home more elegant, without spending a lot of money. Plus, it also helps to keep your home look neat and tidy. I bought mine from Amazon, but you can also make some yourself as a DIY project (I have it on my Pinterest, go check it out :))
Tip #3 Adding Flowers
Any type of greenery can brighten up your room and give your house that organic feeling. You can add some plants or just simple floral bouquets.
If you don’t have time to provide fresh flowers, finding good fake flowers is a way to go.
Tip #4 Rugs That Elevate Your Space
Choosing the right rug can add color and life to a room, you just need to think about what type of rug will work best for your home.
For example, shag rugs are very soft and look great, but are harder to clean, and don’t last long.
Persian rugs are better for places like living or dining rooms. They are very durable and easy to clean. You can see some examples in the pictures below, and get some nice rugs from HERE.
Tip #5 Lighting
This can make or break the overall atmosphere off your house. You need to choose the right color, I recomend:
- cooler light for workplaces (it illuminates the space and appears as sunlight)
- warmer lights for places like living room (it gives room that cozy atmosfere)
- neutral lights for sleeping areas (you cant ruin anything with these)
Also experiment natural light, you can use diferent curtains and shades 🙂
