Making Your Home Look More For Less

We all dream of living in a luxurious home, but the reality is far from the truth for the majority of us. But luxury is what you make it, and there are plenty of ways you can set about making your home look and feel more luxurious, even on a budget.

If you’re looking to transform your home and give it a more elegant touch, then take a look at these simple tips for making your home look more for less.

Choose rich paint colors

If you want to make your home look more expensive, then focus on choosing a rich color palette. You can create some drama and some atmosphere using rich colors like navy, emerald, and maroon that can instantly make your home look more luxe. It’s worth taking a look at this year’s top colour trends to help you work out what shades are in at the moment, which can also help you to inform your other decor choices.

While choosing brands like Farrow and Ball can be a good way to add a stylish finish to your home, color-matching services from companies like Valspar can help you recreate the same colors for less, saving you even more money. Which room will you paint first?

Pay close attention to textiles

Textiles can make a big difference to your home, adding warmth and color without breaking the bank. When choosing things like curtains, cushions, and rugs, take a look at the materials used. Wool and silk are two examples of luxurious fabrics that can add a more expensive touch to your home. Many high street home shops sell more affordable versions of designer homeware items, so take a look at Zara, H&M, and Matalan to pick up some gorgeous pieces at a lower price.

Look at luxury flooring on a budget

When people think of luxury flooring, it’s often wood that springs to mind. But if you’ve ever had a quote for wooden floors, you’ll know that the price for that beautiful finish is high. So what are your alternatives? Laminate flooring makes a great, long-lasting floor, that can often be indistinguishable from wood. Alternatively, luxury vinyl tile looks beautiful and is very affordable, allowing you to enjoy beautiful flooring at a price you can afford. Who needs to know the difference?

Take advantage of sales

Buying luxury products doesn’t have to mean looking for more affordable options each time. Stores are always promoting homeware sales that can help you kit out your home with higher quality items for much less than the original cost. If there are items that you’re desperate to own, add them to a wish list and check back regularly to see if they’ve been reduced – you’ll be surprised at the bargains you can pick up! Quality homeware rarely goes out of fashion, so consider these investment pieces to help bring some timeless style to your home.

Make a statement with your light fittings

Light fittings can instantly transform a room, and the right light fitting choice could make your home look grander in a flash. The great news about light fittings is that they are available to suit all budgets, and you can usually find a more affordable alternative of a designer item. Familiarise yourself with light fitting trends and choose a style you love. There are some great online light fitting stores like Iconic Lights that will help you get some striking, beautiful lights that will sit comfortably within your price range.

Reduce the clutter

Making your home look more luxurious doesn’t just rely on the furnishings you put in it. Keeping your home neat and tidy is much more important for making the right impression. Making your home clutter-free means relying on less, and focusing on quality over quantity. You can make clever use of storage solutions to hide away the things you don’t want seen, and get rid of the items that you no longer need. Reducing the clutter in your home will make it easy to keep clean, and gives your decor the chance to shine. Start decluttering this weekend and see the difference it can make to your home.

Make simple switches

Sometimes, a simple change is all that’s needed to make things look more luxurious. Swapping your bed throw for a fancier one can instantly change your bed, but you don’t need to spend a fortune to make the change. You could also consider switching simple things like your doorknobs, handles, and even your curtain ties to give a chicer, more stylish edge that will easily impress. These might be small details, but they can soon make a difference in your home.

Upcycle cheaper furniture

Want stylish furniture pieces but can’t afford the prices? Why not buy something cheaper and give it the DIY touch. There are lots of IKEA hacks you can try that will allow you to furnish your home with popular products, but give them a look that’s unique to you. It can be fun to find a bargain and then bring it back to life with a bit of TLC, so many people pick their furniture from Gumtree or eBay and embrace the upcycling life.

Adding some paint can work wonders to most furniture items, and even seemingly simple basics can be made more luxe with a splash of paint. Metallic colors ooze class, so if you love a bit of rose gold or silver in your home, invest in some spray paint and start spraying. There are so many possibilities that you’ll soon be able to give your home a more elegant feel.

Decorating your home can be expensive, but there are ways to cut corners and find bargains that mean you won’t have to compromise on the look of your home. Whatever your plans for your home, nothing is impossible, so get creative with your ideas and start working on making your home look more expensive. They say that less is more, and you can certainly make your home look more for less.
