Level Up Your Home's Luxury Feel

There are the obvious ways to add to your home’s worth and splendor, but not everyone has the budget, time, or patience for a full kitchen or bathroom remodel. You can also add a touch of luxe to your home with a fresh coat of paint in a rich hue, by covering a wall in stylish wallpaper, or changing out light fixtures and cabinet hardware. 

Whether you're looking for small details that add a touch of elegance or more substantial upgrades that make a big impact, there are plenty of ways to elevate your space, and some of them are as easy as fluffing a pillow or stopping at a local flower shop.

Sumptuous Textiles: Pillows, Throws, Bedding, & Drapes

You’d be surprised how much a few luxurious textiles can change the vibe of a room. Opt for high-quality throw pillows, plush throws, Egyptian cotton bedsheets, or tailored drapery. These small investments can add instant luxury to any space without costing a fortune.

Statement Lighting Fixtures

We like to think of lighting as the perfect piece of jewelry for a space, making a statement and adding style, glamour, and personality. A beautiful chandelier or an elegant pendant light can instantly elevate the ambiance. Not to mention, good lighting is everything when it comes to how a room feels. Consider swapping outdated light fixtures for more modern or chic options, and even invest in different-sized lamps to place around the room for added warmth and sophistication.

Mirrors with Style

Mirrors not only make spaces feel larger by reflecting light, but they also add a touch of elegance. Consider placing an oversized mirror in your entryway or living room. A well-chosen mirror can brighten the room, add a sense of depth, and elevate the overall design—all for a relatively low cost. We love something with a bold frame, like gold or antique-style, to enhance the luxe feel.

Upgraded Hardware

Swapping out outdated doorknobs, cabinet handles, and faucets for more modern, stylish versions can completely transform the look of a room. This is a quick and inexpensive way to update kitchens, bathrooms, and even closets with a little extra flair.

Smart Home Tech

Incorporating smart technology into your home can provide a luxurious, high-end feel without requiring a full renovation. Smart thermostats, lighting systems, and speakers can make your space feel cutting-edge and convenient while also adding value to your home. Smart devices are often more affordable than you'd think and can be installed relatively quickly.

A Fresh Coat of Paint with Luxe Colors

Nothing refreshes a room like a new coat of paint, and choosing the right color can make all the difference. Opt for sophisticated hues or rich tones that evoke a sense of luxury, or trust the experts and choose a popular paint company’s “Color of the Year." Freshly painted walls or newly painted cabinetry can breathe new life into a space. 

Wrap a Room in Wallpaper

Paint can add a pop of color and freshness to a space, but if you want to be a bit more courageous, consider wrapping a room in designer wallpaper! We love a funky or bold print for small spaces like bathrooms, but something as simple as a subtle linear design or textured grasscloth in a neutral palette can bring incredible depth, warmth, and luxury to a room.

Greenery, Fresh Flowers, & Elegant Planters

Adding some greenery or fresh flowers to your home is an easy and inexpensive way to bring life to any room. Think large, sculptural plants like fiddle leaf figs, snake plants, or peace lilies. Pair them with stylish planters or vases made from materials like marble, ceramic, or brass to enhance their visual appeal. 

Add Style & Texture with Rugs

Don’t ignore the floors when looking to add a designer, high-end feel to your home. A thoughtfully placed rug can immediately elevate a space, adding a luxurious feel beneath your feet while bringing color, texture, and a distinct style. Don’t skimp on size. A rug that’s too small for the room can end up feeling awkward and looking cheap. Rugs can be a considerable investment, but there are many quality options available online that don’t have to break the bank.

Dress Up Your Garage 

You don’t have to own a car collection or workshop to enjoy a clean and organized garage. For many of us, it’s our first experience of home when we pull in after a long day’s work. Epoxy garage flooring is a fantastic way to level up this part of your space, and there are even several do-it-yourself kits that are relatively inexpensive. Add quality shelves and a linear wall storage system so that everything has its place, and we promise you’ll love the results. 

Outdoor Water Feature

Regardless of the size of your yard or the cost of your landscaping, a simple water feature elevates the ambiance. The sound of flowing water is often relaxing, creating a more calming experience while enjoying an outdoor space. There are plenty of affordable options available, or hire a professional landscaping company to create a water feature tailored to your needs. If you’re looking for a weekend project, this is even something you can build and create yourself!

Luxury isn’t always about the price tag—it’s about how elements in your home come together to create a sense of comfort, elegance, and timeless style. Whether you're investing in small, impactful changes or more pricey, permanent upgrades, there are plenty of ways to elevate your home and make it feel more indulgent and refined.
