A lot of people think that to make a home look luxurious and expensive, you have to start again and completely remodel. But more often than not, making a few small, subtle changes can really elevate the look of your home. There are some cheap and simple tricks that you can use to easily add a chic elegance to your home décor. Knowing how to add those finishing touches to give your home the look of luxury is key. These six straightforward tips will give you that show home finish you’ve always dreamed of.
1. Soap Dispensers
You walk into your perfectly designed bathroom, with its elegant tiles and gorgeous fixtures, only to have an unsightly plastic soap dispenser sitting on the sparkling countertop. Not quite the look you were going for. Decanting your soap into a dispenser that matches the style of your bathroom brings the room up a notch. Plus, buying hand soap in bulk can save you money and reduces your plastic waste. It’s a win-win.
2. Design Vignettes
A favourite trick of all interior designers is creating perfectly placed vignettes. Basically small arrangements of decorations and ornaments, creating vignettes is simple and can be done throughout your home. You know those large fancy books that no one reads but they make you look intelligent and well-travelled? Arrange them neatly on the living room table with a vase and an interesting ornament and there you have it, the perfect vignette.
3. Candles and Fragrance
Candles are an interior designer’s best friend because they are the perfect vignette addition and smell absolutely gorgeous. Diptyque candles are elegant, stylish and fragrant. Not only do they provide you with a welcome sensory experience, but the signature chic Diptyque design is a luxurious and simple finishing touch for your home. Enjoy that luxury Parisian fragrance from candles, diffusers or eau de toilette.
4. Add Houseplants
A little splash of greenery is a sure way to give any room a luxurious boost. There is something about houseplants that adds a touch of natural glamour. They give you a pop of color, variation and texture that can really elevate the look of a room. Use a vase or pot to finish the look and you have an easy and simple way of bringing a room to life, and hopefully it’s just as easy and simple to keep them alive.
5. Tissue Box Covers
Having tissues around the house is practical and useful. In the living room, bathroom, kitchen; it’s always handy to have a box of tissues nearby. But the carboard box they come in? Not a look. Instead of leaving the cardboard on show, invest in some tissue box covers. No matter what your style, there will be a cover that will disguise your tissues and have them blending in with the luxury of the rest of the room.
These finishing touches may be small and subtle, but they make such a huge difference to the overall look. Be ready to have your guests marvel at how put together, elegant and luxurious your home looks.
I love your ideas. I can’t do houseplants as I kill them, but I can do the others. I do have lots of candles!
