Are you ready to upgrade your home and make it more luxurious? There are several ways to do this. In fact, some are relatively inexpensive. Let’s dive in and take a look at some of your options.
Upgrade your walls
There are a few options to consider for upgrading your walls. You may decide they’re looking a little drab and need some fresh paint. You could also choose to add a wall mural (there are peel and stick ones you can purchase). Or, maybe you want to try some temporary wallpaper to give your walls more texture. Hanging some large pieces of artwork and/or mirrors is another way to add elegance and depth to the space.
Consider your windows
If your windows are cracked, chipped, or more than 20 years old, replace them. If they’re covered in dirt and grime, give them a good cleaning. Or, if your windows are relatively new (and clean) invest in some new window coverings. The right window covering can make a big difference in the look and feel of a room.
Think about your flooring
It’s amazing what new flooring can do for the overall appearance of a room. There are so many options to choose from, too. You could add a large area rug to put your furniture on in the living room, creating a cozy space, or one to put under the dining room table and chairs. You may want to upgrade your floors to hardwood or get brand new carpeting. Maybe you prefer luxury vinyl planking or tile. No matter the style you’re hoping for, we have a flooring option that will meet your needs.
Focus on your accessories
You want just the right amount of accessories in your home. Too much clutter can make your home feel crowded or even claustrophobic. Instead, take a minimalist approach. Pick a few high-class accessories to decorate your rooms with.
When considering accessories, take a close look at greenery. Adding fresh cut flowers, potted plants or high-end faux flowers can give the space an airy, spring-like feel.
You may also want to consider upgrading pillowcases and putting out different throws. For example, multiple decorative pillows and/or a faux-fur blanket can make your home’s interior a bit more luxurious.
Give hardware and fixtures an update
A simple way to upgrade your home’s interior is by replacing knobs and other hardware on your cabinets from the kitchen to the bathroom. Updated hardware gives these rooms new life. But, don’t stop there, you can also replace or renovate faucet and shower fixtures. Keep in mind, specific fixtures, like touchless faucets, rain showers, or a bidet, add an extra element of luxury.
Upgrade your lighting
Natural lighting makes a room feel brighter and more opulent. See if there are ways you can flood more natural lighting into your rooms.
Choose whatever lighting is best depending on the mood you want to set. An overhead light is nice for when you need to increase the brightness of a room, but a lamp might be better if you need light for a specific task like reading a book.
Also, don’t underestimate the way your lighting pieces look. If your light fixtures are older, it may be time to update them. If your lamps are beautiful but the shades are outdated, replace the shades.
Consider storage solutions
As we mentioned earlier, clutter doesn’t make a home look luxurious. Thankfully, storage solutions can. Items like built-in bookshelves and large woven baskets provide good storage and look modern. There are plenty of ways to store items without them looking cluttered or tacky.
Upgrade to smart tech
There are so many smart devices nowadays. They offer convenience and give a home a modern vibe. You can choose from smart speakers that will answer your questions and order delivery for you. You can upgrade your TV so all of your streaming apps are on it at the touch of a button. You can choose smart security devices and so much more. All of these features can quickly give your home that high-tech feel.
As you can see, there are plenty of ways to update your space and give it that high-end appearance. Keep in mind that when choosing new pieces or upgrading current pieces, it’s a good idea to mix and match textiles. Be creative and play with different textures to see what goes well together.
