For many of us, feeling like our homes are luxurious spaces is important. Let’s face it, work and social lives can be exhausting, so having somewhere aesthetically pleasing to come home to is a must.
And the demand for top-notch interior design is certainly increasing, with interior design jobs set to increase by 13% in the next decade.
You might think that living a life of luxury requires a huge budget to match, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Here are a few ways you can make your home feel more luxurious without breaking the bank.
Invest in Warm Lighting
Bright white lighting can make your home feel a little clinical, especially if you just use one light to brighten the whole room. Instead, opt for a few lamps in each room, and opt for warm white bulbs rather than bright white bulbs.
Create an Inviting Outdoor Space
Your outdoor space is just important as your indoor one. If you have an inflatable hot tub or spa, consider purchasing a Lay Z Spa Enclosure to protect you from the elements while you’re soaking in the bubbles.
Adding fairy lights and a fire pit will also work wonders to make your backyard cozier.
Paint a Feature Wall
While you may not want to paint your entire lounge forest green, adding a feature wall to a room can make your home more expensive and luxurious looking. Simply keep three of the walls in a room painted neutrally, then transform the other one into a darker, richer shade.
Declutter
There’s one way to make your home more luxurious without spending a single dollar. Decluttering! Having a home that’s free of mess, clutter, and dirt can completely transform your space without having to buy anything new.
If you don’t currently have a space for all your belongings, making it hard to declutter, invest in some cheap storage solutions such as extra shelves or baskets.
Use More Candles
Candles can instantly elevate your space. Not only do they create ambient lighting, but if you invest in scented candles, they’ll add a gorgeous scent to your space, too!
Add Some Greenery
The more plants and flowers you have around your home, the better it will look and the healthier it will be since plants can actually improve indoor air quality. If you’re new to being a plant parent, search online for lower maintenance options so you have a better chance of keeping them alive.
Upcycle
Have a piece of furniture that looks a little outdated but you just can’t bring yourself to throw it away? Try upcycling it, instead. You’d be amazed what a lick of paint or some affordable additions can do.
Refresh Windows
Over time, window frames and windowsills can get dirty, especially wooden ones. You might not realize it, but this discoloration can seriously impact the look of your home. Refresh the look of your windows by repainting the frames and windowsills – you’ll be amazed by the results.
With just these small tweaks, you can make your home appear more expensive and luxurious without breaking the bank.
