Everyone wants to have a bright, welcoming home, but also adapted to the latest trends in interior design.

From the choice of shades, the placement of objects, and the key pieces of the room, all these things can help you make your mark on the decoration of the house.

Although you may think that you have to spend huge sums of money to get as many compliments as possible and to give you the comfort you need, it seems much simpler than you think.

The intelligent choice of pieces can save you a lot of money, but also precious time.

Splash of color

Paint is the only change that is not expensive and can make a difference. Whether you want to brighten up your room or give it a bold look, opt for paint whenever you have the opportunity.

Change the towels regularly

If you want your home to look more expensive, get rid of those shabby, discolored towels in the bathroom.

Fluffy towels in nice shades make you think of the spa or hotel rooms. If you offer your guests such towels, you will leave a good impression on them.

Colored pillows

Pillows can accessorize your home and make it look more welcoming. So, replace the old pillows with colorful and interesting patterns to make the space look brighter.

Match the shades and fabrics and group the pillows. However, be careful not to overdo it.

Art on the walls

From family pictures to handmade paintings, these pieces make you feel at home.

However, make sure that the chosen pieces are the right size and that they match the theme of the room and its shades. If you don't want to spend too much money, make your decorations.

Accessories

Magazines can be a great source of decorating ideas and inspiration. However, most examples have expensive accessories and parts.

You can make your home look more expensive with similar accessories but cheaper or second-hand.

High ceiling

The high ceiling is normally a sign of extravagance and luxury. If you can't have a house with a high ceiling, then it creates the illusion of one.

There are many tricks you can use to do this, and you can find inspiration in any profile magazine.

Mirrors

To give the impression of space, you can strategically place mirrors in the house. Large mirrors make that room look much bigger and brighter.

So, you can use this trick to make your home look more expensive, but also to increase its buying potential.

Get rid of old or ugly things

If a piece of furniture or decoration has broken down, it is better to get rid of it quickly. Replacement will not cost you a fortune and so you can be sure that your home will always look like millions.

You don't have to spend huge sums to have a wonderful home. You can take second-hand furniture and recondition it yourself and transform it to your liking.

Don't use shelves just for books

Bookcases in the house should not look like a bookstore. In addition to books, you can put frames with pictures or interesting objects. This trick will give your home a sophisticated look.

Highlight the walls

Wallpaper can add size to the room, but also style. If you want your home to look expensive, we advise you to choose wallpaper that will shine. Choose neutral shades that are intertwined with gold or silver.

The advice provided in this article is very easy to implement. If you know a few deco tips & tricks, you can always beautify your flat at small costs. The most precious advice from the list, if you ask me, is to get rid of old and ugly things (which si totally free).
