How To Make Your House Look Expensive

What does an expensive home look like?  Homes that are worth a lot of money and take up a large amount of land typically have the most expensive features. Expensive homes may also have luxurious amenities such as high-end kitchens, pools or jacuzzis, and outdoor patios with fireplaces to make it feel more like a resort than just your average house. But if you can't afford all those things then don't worry! We're here to show you how you can get the same look without breaking the budget.

7 Best Tips to Make Your Home Look expensive?

1. Replace Your Carpet With Hardwood or Laminate Floors

Carpets may be luxurious and comfortable, but it's also expensive to maintain.  Hardwood or laminate floors are cheaper in the long run and will look better than your old carpet too. So if you're looking for a way to make your house feel more expensive without spending a ton of money, replace your rug with hardwood or laminate flooring!

2. Paint The Walls With Dark Color

Paint the walls a dark color to make it feel like you have more space? Seems counterintuitive, but this is an old trick that has been used by interior designers and architects for decades. The theory goes that when there are fewer colors in a room, your eye is drawn to what's left. This creates the illusion of more space.

Consider these three rooms: one with white walls, one with black walls and one painted light blue. Which do you think seems bigger? You’re right if you guessed the room with the black walls—the contrast makes the other two spaces seem smaller by comparison!

3. Get Rid of Any Furniture That Doesn't Match The Room's Style

The key to making a room look like you own it is the furniture. So before you start decorating, take an inventory of what's in there already and get rid of anything that doesn't match the style. And remember: high-end is not expensive! You can find great deals at consignment stores or even thrift shops.

4. Hang Art On Your Walls

Hanging art on your walls is a quick and easy way to make your home more beautiful. It can be as simple as an arrangement of objects, or it could be something larger like a painting or sculpture. No matter what you choose, it will add value to the space!

Artwork can serve as decoration for the room's style, act as conversation starters with guests, or just provide an enjoyable focal point in the room. It also adds character and personalizes spaces - especially if different pieces are displayed together. And putting them on display is actually easier than you might think! All that's needed is some creativity and effort; there’s no need for costly frames or difficult installation methods. With this guide, anyone can hang art on their walls.

5. Add Some Plants Around The House

The air in your home can make you feel sick. Plants, on the other hand, are a natural way to improve indoor air quality and provide some green for your space without breaking the bank.

Here’s how to bring plants into your home:

  • Make sure that there is enough light for them at all times- if not, move or add more lights near the plants;
  • Pick out plants that are right for the size of your room;
  • Choose low maintenance options like succulents or ferns if you don't have much time to care for them;
  • Try adding some greenery by placing potted plants around furniture or on top of bookshelves.
  • Add some plants around the house for greenery and fresh air.

 

6. Change Out Light Fixtures

You probably don’t think about the lighting in your bedroom or bathroom much. But it could be costing you a lot of sleep and making your skin look older, too.

In fact, light is so powerful that it can change how we feel—and not just at night! Daylight has been shown to affect our moods and even improve our productivity levels during the day.

It’s really important to make sure that no matter where you are in your home, there isn’t any harsh lighting nearby that might cause eyestrain or glare on screens like laptops, tablets or smartphones.

Luckily, there are lots of ways to soften or eliminate harsh light from rooms without spending a fortune: Installing dimmer switches, using lampshades to filter light or choosing frosted bulbs.

7. Buy New Curtains For Every Window In The House

It's simple. When you decorate a room, people don't just see the walls and floors. They also see what's going on in your head.

What does it say about me that I'm living with curtains from 1998? Am I too lazy to pull down old ones or to go shopping for new ones? If my choices are all browns and beiges, am I boring or unimaginative? Is there anything wrong with me if my favorite color is yellow but I never buy yellow clothes because they clash with everything else in the house?   And what should happen when someone walks into one of these rooms that represent only one aspect of who you are - your love of nature, your passion for art - without understanding how it's supposed to be a part of the whole?

Can't we all do better than that? You can. And there are some things you don't have to change in order for it to get better. Like your curtains, or your address.

We're not saying you need new furniture every season. But if what's going on in your house doesn't match what's going on in your head, it might be time for some new curtains
