Making your home look more expensive is something that can be easy to do if you know how. An expert has shared some simple easy tricks that can make your home look like it’s worth more than it actually is – and it’s all in the details. Anna Ross, at Not On The High Street says: “Interiors have become more and more popular over the last few years.
“We have published 29% more homeware SKUs year on year as the demand for such product increases. The ability to peek inside the homes of idols and influencers has fed into a new wave of interior enthusiasts, always looking to upgrade their homes.” Sophie Clemson, interior designer at The Living House, has said that upgrading your cushions can make a huge difference to your home.
Sophie adds: “You don’t have to spend a fortune on cushions to make them look expensive. Simply swapping out the polyester cushion insert for a feather filled insert will instantly make your cushions look fuller and more luxurious.”
Anna says: “Limp and lifeless cushions will instantly cheapen your space. You can purchase feather filled pillow inserts for as little as £2, making this a quick, easy and affordable swap that has a big pay off.”
In another tip, Sophie suggests going oversized with furnishings and decor to make a statement: “Go large with your rugs to make your home look more expensive.
“You can find oversized rugs from high street brands that won’t break the bank. For your living room, choose a rug that’s big enough to fit under the front feet of the sofa, this helps to anchor the space.
“If your rug is too small and floats in the middle of the room, it won’t add much and may even make the space feel smaller by drawing the eye inward.”
Another tip is to choose large lighting pieces which will elevate your home too such as large lamps with ceramic bases or statement ceiling lights.
Most homes will come with standard white sockets and switches, but Sophie has a quick fix that can instantly make your home appear more expensive and put together.
By following these easy tips, you can upgrade your home without any major hassle or any huge cost.
