When you enter your home, you should feel comfortable and welcomed. But do you enter and feel like a hint of organization or the feeling of homeliness is missing? That missing part is the refined visuals of your home.
Clutter can make your home look disorganized and erase the little elegance it provides. Your space missing elegance is a house, not a home. To make your home feel like home, where you feel happy and satisfied with its look, we have some advice to give you.
These are a few tips that will make you realize how much your home lacks in terms of visuals. Making your home go through changes does not require heavy items that press hard on your bank account. Instead, it is all about making a few changes in the details. Also, no need to worry; the recommendations will not be heavy on the pocket!
1) Start with the Walls
Let us start with talking about the walls first. Neglecting the maintenance of the walls can make your home look entirely dull. So, your foremost focus should be painting the walls or, if you like, beautifully printed wallpapers. Neutral and minimal colors, like cream, brown, and off-white, work well to luxury your home. You can either entirely paint every wall, make a color duo, and go half-half on the wall paint, or paint one wall a dark color and the remaining light.
2) Curtain Hanging
Hanging curtains does not mean dangling them to the rod and saying done. For an elegant home look, the curtains need to be hung high and wide. The more elevated and broader the curtains, the more the space will look ordered and expensive. Buy curtains that match your walls and the furniture of your space to avoid chances of clutter and mismatched look.
3) The Flooring
Regarding flooring, the essential part of your home, you need to make sure it is attractive with a refined look. Two types of flooring- tile and wood will make your home look modern and posh. If you have tile flooring, keep it clean and dust-free because it is very visible, and if you are thinking of tiles, ensure they are stone-made. For those who have wood flooring that feels it’s fading, bring back its expensive charm by considering wood floor refinishing. Maximize your luxurious-looking home by adding your choice of carpets or rugs!
4) Upgrading Lamp Shades
Lamps are the best way to keep the room filled with a low amount of light, but for an expensive-looking home, they need to shed elegance, too. Upgrade the lamp shades from traditional to unique shapes, for example, drum, rectangle, oval, etc. These lampshades can be bought at an expensive price from your local furniture store and Amazon.
5) From Plain to Metal Hardware
As said, achieving an expensive-looking home lies in the changes of small things. So, another tip for you is to remove the plain hardware for metallic and glossy ones. And we do not mean just your door knobs, but kitchen cabinet hardware, closet hardware, drawer hardware, and any hardware you think needs an advancement. Another tip- when shopping for hardware, purchase the same for every decor so the look does not look unbalanced.
6) Add Some Decorations
Now, let’s jump to the most exciting part of making your home look classy. Decorations are affordable and a simple way to elevate the atmosphere of your home. Transform your home with simple and sophisticated items, mirrors, candles, paintings, lanterns, eye-catching clocks, and many more. You can easily buy decor pieces from thrift stores or make them yourself!
7) Keep It Green
What does keeping it green mean? It’s simple- buy some easy-to-care-for plants and flower pots, and put them where you like. Adding plants will brighten up your home and keep sprinkling freshness in every corner. And for those people working late hours and living in houses with little ones around, you can substitute genuine plants with fake flowers or money plants.
Final Thoughts –– Refrain Untidiness
The last way that every homeowner looking to enhance the image of their house should follow is cleanliness. Untidiness, disorganization, and an unbalance in decoration and furniture can cause your home to look bland and messy even if you transform it to look expensive. Buy storage shelves, baskets, or any storage container to clean up the space and look stylish. As the saying goes- the less clutter there is, the more expensive the home is!
