Have you been yearning to give your home an upgrade but always don’t have the budget for a major makeover? What if someone tells you that you can make your home look expensive without breaking the bank? Start with these five simple upgrades and watch the magic happen:
Up Your Lighting Game
Good lighting is a game changer, whether you have a small or large home. Black wall lights give your house that instant touch of sophistication while also adding that much-needed lighting to really brighten up your space.
Raise Your Curtain Rods
If you noticed, the most expensive homes have very high ceilings. But if you can’t afford to raise your ceiling height, you can give it that illusion by raising your curtain rods instead. Choose longer drapes and hang them near your ceiling to give your home a more luxurious feel.
Create Consistent Finishes
If you’ve been living in your home for a long time, there’s a good chance that you still have mismatched fixtures that can make your space look outdated. Replacing them with the same finish will create that consistent look that will easily make your home feel more modern and sophisticated.
Add Character to Your Space with Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper
If you want to upgrade the look of a room without spending a lot on a full repaint or traditional wallpaper, you can opt for peel-and-stick wallpaper instead. The trick here is to choose one wall that will serve as the focal point of a room. For instance, you can add patterned wallpaper on one side of your living room or bedroom to give it that luxurious feel while keeping your costs low.
Keep the Clutter at Bay
It doesn’t matter how big your house is; if it’s full of clutter, it will never look expensive. So if you want to upgrade the look of your home without spending anything, declutter it. Get rid of things that you haven’t used in months to give space for new things in your home. If you need extra storage but you can’t afford to have a custom-built cabinet or shelving, put together tall bookshelves and decorate them properly to give that custom-built look.
