Pay Attention To Details
A few good pieces of home décor can make an impact on the overall look of your home. When shopping for home décor you should try to get timeless pieces that will last a long time. By getting pieces of home décor like that, you are creating a timeless space with plenty of character, elegance, and sophistication, which instantly makes your home look high-end and expensive.
Add Textural Elements
Not having enough textural elements can result in creating a flat space. Flat spaces don’t look appealing and cohesive. If you want to create a cohesive and interesting space that will look lavish and elegant, then you should consider adding textural elements to your home. It is quite easy to create a nice combination of textures just by adding a few items such as baskets, duvets, rugs, etc.
Large pillows are also a great way to add texture to your space and make it look expensive at the same time, so you should consider getting some large pillows.
Add Greenery
Adding greenery is a perfect way to brighten up your space and give it a lavish look at the same time without spending too much money. When decorating your home with flowers or greenery it is important to pay attention to arrangement. It is fun and cheap at the same time.
Here are two useful tips on how to decorate your home using greenery:
Choose The Right Vase
In general, there are three categories when it comes to the size of the vases: small, medium, and large. Small vases are usually used for decorating bookshelves, bedside tables, kitchens, etc.
A plant in a small vase can’t stand on its own. You should surround the vase with other pieces of home décor to create a decorative entirety. Medium vases are perfect for decorating coffee tables. They’re great for creating a focal point in your living room. Large vases are great for decorating dining tables, hallways, or entryways. Large plants can make a huge impact on the overall look of your home.
Artificial Or Real Plants?
Artificial plants are easy to transport and are great if you travel a lot. On the other hand, real plants add scent to your home and give it an abstract and natural vibe. If you don’t like the scent that plants give off or if you travel a lot, then you should consider getting artificial plants.
Pay Attention To Curtains
There are so many ways to decorate your home using curtains. If you want to make your home look more luxurious and high-end, then you should consider getting longer curtains, which you should hang pretty close to the ceiling. By doing this, you are making your ceiling seem higher, which instantly makes your home look more expensive. Of course, you don’t want your curtains piling onto the ground, because that will create a messy look.
Use Wallpaper
Using wallpaper is a brilliant way to add detail and elegance to your home. There are thousands and thousands of different patterns and designs, so there’s plenty to choose from. If you live in a bigger home, you should consider getting wallpaper with more complex patterns. If you live in a smaller space, you should stay away from complex patterns. Instead, you should get wallpaper with bigger patterns to make your home appear larger.
How To Apply Wallpaper
First of all, you need to prepare the walls. The first thing that you should do is wipe down the walls using a damp sponge and let them dry. After that, you should fill out any holes or gaps in the walls using some wall filler, let it harden, sand down any imperfections, and remove the dust using a damp sponge.
Once you’ve prepared the walls it is time to apply the primer. You can apply the primer using a brush or a roller. It is very important to let it dry before applying the wallpaper.
Alright, so you’ve prepared the walls and applied the primer. Now it’s time to measure out and cut the paper. Drawing a guideline on the wall can help you apply the wallpaper more precisely. When cutting out wallpaper it is important to leave a little bit of material at the top (about four inches). You should also reverse-curl the wallpaper to prevent it from curling on itself.
The next thing which you should do is apply the adhesive. Lay the paper on a flat surface and apply the adhesive evenly. After that, you should fold the ends in, so you have something to grip onto while carrying the wallpaper to the wall. Align the paper with the lines that you drew on the wall and make sure to leave a few inches at the top and the bottom.
All that’s left to do is to smooth out the paper using a smoothing brush and cut off any excess paper using a utility knife.
Repeat the procedure until you cover the whole surface and use a seam roller to press the seams together.
Upgrade Your Hardware
You’ll be surprised at how big of an impact new hardware can make. Try experimenting with different colors, styles, sizes, etc. If you want to give your space a luxurious and high-end look, then you should go for some modern and chic pieces of hardware. This works great with literally any piece of furniture.
You can give your dresser a whole new look or brighten up your kitchen or your working space. If you want to save money on hardware, then you should give your old hardware a new look. This can easily be done with a coat of spray paint or some polishing paste. You can even flip your hardware upside down and brighten up the look of your home that way. This only works with specific pieces of hardware.
