But thankfully, the luxury home of your dreams may be easier to achieve than you might think – even the smallest alterations can make a big difference.

If lockdown has left you in need of a revamp, then indulge your love of the lavish, and take inspiration from these five simple tips to add a sense of grandeur on any budget!

 

  • High Contrast Colours

If you have a flair for the dramatic, then a high contrast colour scheme is the way to go.

By combining dark hues with brilliant whites, you’ll spruce up even the dullest of spaces.

It can be hard to find the right balance, so start off with a feature wall to draw the eye, or even just opt for painting your doors.

You could even trade your neglected paint job for an elegant wallpaper as this will certainly add some variety to the room.

 

  • High-end Touches

Materials like hardwood, marble and antique gold are great choices to give your home that certain ‘je ne sais quoi’.

Visit car-boot sales and antique shops to find unique objects that will help create a focal point for the room.

Keep an eye out for gilded mirrors, as these can make any space look bigger than it really is and work wonders at brightening the place up while adding a touch of class.

 

  • Indoor Plants

Introducing plant life to your home can give it an upscale feel.

Although real plants can have many round-the-house benefits, those who aren’t au fait with plant parenting may be better off implanting faux foliage, which will create the same effect for far less effort.

If you’re a pet owner choosing to go green for real, you’re going to want to make sure that the plants you get are safe for your furry friends.
