You might be surprised to find out it doesn’t really take much to give your home a polished and elegant look. A few posh touches are all you really need to focus on. Here we’ll take a look at some simple, budget-friendly ways to add a touch of elegance to your home.
- A subtle color scheme. Painting walls (and trim and ceilings) in pale hues and choosing furnishings in smoky shades are extremely simple ways to give a room an air of elegance.
- Long, full draperies. Want your room to look grand? Hang long draperies high up near the ceiling, but make sure they’re still long enough to create a slight puddle on the floor. To give them a fuller, more luxurious look, double up the panels.
- A large mirror. Mirrors reflect light, making a room look bigger, but they also make a huge statement when they are large in size. Find one that’s not only big, but in a grand shape.
- White towels. Fluffy, white towels can easily give off a spa-like feel. Treat yourself to some fresh new towels the next time you see some on sale.
- Small tables. Little tables in round or square shapes can make a room feel more inviting. Tuck petite tables near a chair to offer a convenient place to rest a book or drink.
- Lanterns. Lighting is an essential part of any home. Lanterns are a step up from simple lighting options, and can give your home a small splash of elegance when hung above a dining table or kitchen island.
- Excess pillows. Upgrade the look of your bed or sofa by adding some extra pillows. For your bed, use pillows in shams in front of regular pillows and then add some decorative pillows in front of that.
- Greenery. Topiaries outdoors on the patio or porch and fresh orchids inside on an entryway table are both excellent ways to up the elegance in your space. If you don’t have enough sun for real plants, try some artificial ones.
- Upgraded outdoor furniture. If you have a covered outdoor space, there’s no need to stick with basic furniture. Furniture today comes in a variety of colorful and patterned fabric, designed to withstand sun and rain. To save some money, search for used furniture and then recover it in a fabric of your choice.
