You don't need to spend a lot of money to achieve a luxurious feel in your home. There are several ways to create a luxurious impression in a simple and cost-effective manner. Here are 5 quite effective ways:

 

1. Matching Furnishings

This technique always provides an elegant look, especially when decorating on a tight budget because you only need to use existing furniture. The key is to match the furnishings and arrange them thoughtfully.

Important areas to focus on include tables, bookshelves, and coffee tables. When arranging bookshelves, for example, arrange the books both vertically and horizontally while using accessories like photo frames, small flower vases, and decorative items.

Avoid cluttered coffee tables; instead, select a few complementary objects with contrasting shapes.

 

Such arrangements allow you to achieve visually appealing spaces that look well-organized. Here are additional tips to help you arrange furnishings:

  • Arrange items in groups of three and five: This arrangement helps achieve symmetry easily.
  • Add items with different textures: Glass, wood, metal, and paper have different textures, adding more variety to the space.
  • Layer furnishings that have different sizes and shapes.


2. Using Area Rugs

Area rugs can transform the look of a room and create a cohesive appearance. Make sure to look for rugs that don't take up too much space and have colors that can make the room more vibrant. Here are various ways to create an elegant look using rugs:

  • Define spaces: You can use rugs to define areas such as the dining area or the living room.
  • Create harmony: Ensure the rug complements the other decorations. Don't make the room look too busy with patterns.
  • Add variety: You can use two rugs in the same room as long as they have different sizes to add variation to the space.
  • Use rugs as wall decor: Instead of placing the rug on the floor, you can use it as a wall decoration.
  • Plain-colored rugs: If the room already has patterned wallpaper, use plain-colored rugs to balance the room.


3. Lighting

Layer your lighting using well-coordinated table lamps or floor lamps beside chairs. However, if you want to illuminate the room, ensure you light it from different angles and heights to create a cohesive and functional lighting landscape. When providing lighting, use one light per four square meters on the ceiling as this will be not as bright as other lighting types.

 

4. Video Walls

Video walls are a simple and elegant way to liven up your space and are suitable for any ambiance. Video walls function as large screens, and they are a practical way to display digital art.

Digital display options for video wall hardware come in various shapes, sizes, and forms. Some function as temporary display screens, while others come with touchscreen technology. The advantage of using a video wall is that you don't need to buy additional decorations to adorn the space.


5. Using Unique Furniture

Beautiful antique furnishings provide a sense of history and elegance to a room. Unique furniture has advantages over modern accessories. Large antique items like mirrors, lamps, and other furniture can help create a captivating look in your home. Small accessories like carved ornaments and photo frames can also give a classic impression to the room.
