Without spending money you can convert your simple home into a well decor luxurious home by making small little changes

Convert your simple house into luxuary home

Call us optimists, but we think everyone can have a beautiful dream home. Even if you’re pinching pennies, there’s still plenty you can do to create a stylish, inviting home for yourself and whoever you have over. The first step is to clean your home and get organized. Doing those two things alone will drastically improve the quality of your space. Then for the fun part — on to coming up with new home décor ideas.

Follow our cheap home decorating tips and get inspired by the ideas that prove that style doesn’t need to come at a price below.

1. Make A Feature Of It

Update the dining room colour scheme with the simple addition of a tiled wall. Use as a colour that ties in neatly with your scheme for a cohesive effect.

In this case the impact is doubled with a collection of favourite plates, hung randomly, but with a unifying motif. Small additions like downlit wall lights add extra character.

ADD SOME GREENERY

Plants breathe life into any living room colour scheme and in an all-white room like this one they add a gorgeous hit of colour. Not green-fingered? Don’t worry — this tip doesn’t have to pass you by. There are now loads of great fakes available and they look really realistic — try Blooming Artificial for everything from plants to trees.

‘Live plants are an excellent choice for improving air quality and their growth is highly rewarding, although they can be hard to care for when natural light is limited.’

‘If you’re not much of a green thumb, decorate your studio apartment with artificial plants — their visual impact on your decor will be the same as that of live plants.’

ADD A BOOK CASE:

Bookcases needn’t be traditional or built into alcoves. Instead try an asymmetrical approach. In this scheme, a wall-mounted case has a floating effect, painted white to blend into the room, though its shape stands out.

Colour is added through books and accessories. To break up the repetitive nature of a book collection, try creating ‘breathing space’ in a scheme by using some shelves for decorative accessories, again tying in two or three colours for a unifying effect. This will add texture and depth to a room as well as essential storage.

Update Soft Furnishings

Updating a rug, cushions or fabrics can all have an uplifting effect. Try changing your cushions with the seasons opting for delicate florals, painterly prints and light graphics as spring approaches and heavier textures and deeper colours in the winter.

Repainting wooden furniture, papering inside bookshelves and adding foliage will all help to freshen up your scheme.

Change Cupboard Door Handles

Replace the drawer and cupboard handles with decent stylish ones on your kitchen cabinets for a fresh look. Bar handles are also very popular right now and will look great in any modern kitchen.

Buy inexpensive, neutral furniture items (such as chests of drawers, headboards, and coffee tables), go secondhand, or collect family hand-me-downs to save money — these basic pieces are the perfect canvases for DIY design. Make these pieces your own with decorative knobs, patterned wallpaper or paint in your favorite shade.

HANG A PHOTO GALLERY

Photo gallery wall ideas are a creative way to cover up a plain wall or a drab area. Experiment with different forms, sizes, and frame designs, and hang everything from old family photos to kid’s artwork.

The wide blank wall in your bedroom or living area can be filled with gallery walls. If you don’t have a wide wall to work with, create gallery walls around doorways and windows to add interest.

consider a look of a fantastic hotel lobby, where the furniture is arranged in groups to encourage conversation. When arranging furniture in your living room, try to achieve a similar sense of harmony and cosiness.

A U-shaped conversation area, with a sofa and two chairs facing each other at either end of the coffee table, or an H-shaped conversation area, with a sofa directly across from two chairs and a coffee table in the centre, is excellent.

One common mistake that everyone do, avoid: Pushing all the furniture against the walls. People do that because they think it will make their room look bigger, but in reality, floating the furniture away from the walls makes the room feel larger.

Hang At Least One Mirror In Every Room

Mirrors can make a room appear brighter by reflecting light around it. However, putting one in the wrong place can be nearly as bad as not having one at all.

Mirrors should be placed perpendicular to windows, not directly across from them. Hanging a mirror directly opposite a window can actually reflect the light back out.

Layer Your Lighting

Every room should have three types of lighting: ambient, which provides overall illumination and is frequently provided by ceiling fixtures; task, which is frequently found over a kitchen island or a reading nook; and accent, which is more decorative, highlighting, say, artwork.

A living room should have at least 3 watts (42 lumens) per square foot of lighting. One visual trick that Breining swears by is the use of uplights. A canister uplight or torchiere in the corner will cast a glow on the ceiling, making a room appear larger.

Use Visual Tricks To Raise The Ceiling

If your ceilings are low, paint them white to make the room feel less congested. Hanging curtains higher than the windows to trick your eyes into thinking the room is taller. Most standard curtain panels are 84 or 96 inches long, allowing you to extend the length about 3 inches above the window casing before it becomes too short.

You’ll need to order custom curtains if you wish to hang them higher. Do you like patterned panels? Vertical stripes are a great way to visually lengthen your walls. A taller room can be created by leaning a large mirror against a wall.
