Tricks To Make Any Home Look A Million Bucks Without Breaking The Bank
Redecorating a home can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and most of us don’t have that kind of cash on hand. So, we have to get creative and revamp our abodes without deep pockets. All we have, of course, is our creativity and drive to get the job done. Oh, and you can use these tips, all of which can completely transform a space without breaking the bank.
1. Get creative with pillows
This sounds simple, but changing up your pillow arrangement can have a huge impact on the way your home looks, according to designer Christina Nielsen. She told Insider in July 2020, “Rearrange them on your sofa, swap in a pillow from another room, eliminate some pillows to create a sleeker space, or stack pillows on top of your bedding – preferably all white – for a crisp effect.”
2. Gather branches and wildflowers
You might, in fact, have some fancy-looking home décor in your backyard. Head outside and gather some wildflowers or fallen branches. Gather your finds in a vase, and you’ll see how the colors of the blooms and the rustic feel of the sticks transform your space.
3. Make walls shine
Don’t worry, we’re not suggesting you wash your walls. Instead, pinpoint some of the duller facades in your home – the ones that could use a bit of pizzazz. Then, Reader’s Digest recommends measuring the walls in question and picking up enough lustrous wallpaper to cover it all. A neutral-toned, shiny wallpaper catches the light and looks luxurious no matter where you hang it.
4. Opt for bold accessories
Go big or go home, right? That’s one way to make your home updates look extra luxurious. Insider recommends choosing bold, brightly colored accessories so they make enough of an impact. Think things like lamps, coffee table books, decorative boxes, and knickknacks – if they stand out, they will make your home look much more expensive.
