Decorating your home isn’t just about filling it with things. Instead, it’s a way to bring your personality and style to life in each room. But decorating isn’t exactly cheap, especially when adhering to trending interior styles like Japandi or California Coastal. From furniture to home decor and paint trends, creating an aesthetically pleasing home can get costly. We all want our homes to feel expensive and welcoming. Luckily, luxury comes in many different forms.

Investing time and energy into your space can go a long way in making it feel lavish. As the age-old saying goes, you don’t need a lot of money to look good and the same can be said about your home. With the right accents, accessories, colors, and textures you can easily make your house feel like a stunning Pinterest mood board. Below, we’ve gathered the affordable tricks to transform your home into a luxurious space.

My most asked question on here is where this pendant light is from! 💡 I wish I had a link, but I thrifted this one. I have found dupes online so reverse look up the image 🫶🏻 #fyp #interiordesign #homedecor #homeinspo

Statement Lighting

Any designer will tell you that lighting is essential for creating ambiance and setting the tone. While choosing a lamp that gives the space a nice glow is helpful, a statement lamp will elevate the space. Pendant lights are a good style that offers affordable options. The key is selecting a material and design that fills the room with soft amber light. Look for shades with basket weaving to disperse the light throughout the room. Delicate paper shades are also a nice touch as they’re light and create an airy look.

Accent Walls

This simple update is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Whether you give a wall a fresh coat of paint or opt for stylish wallpaper, adding a contrasting wall to a room can completely change its look. There are even renter-friendly ways to lean into an accent wall, like peel-and-stick decals, wallpaper, and tile for creating a backsplash effect. If you’ve settled on painting,  try adding a bold color for a unique look. The colors of the year provide plenty of inspiration and offer something to fit every style.

Modern Hardware

Like the previous two tips, swapping out the hardware in your home will give the room a fresh feel. Even better? It’s an easy DIY project regardless of your handyman skills. You don’t even have to go to a hardware store to find the new hardware of your dreams. There are lots of online retailers with diverse selections to choose from, including popular sites like Amazon, Anthropologie, and West Elm. Once you’ve found a few cool knobs and hardware pieces, all that’s left to do is install them around your home. From the kitchen cabinets to the bathroom and even your dresser, they’ll give the furniture a gorgeous new look.
