Those who love living a life of luxury generally want a home that reflects that. They want a glamorous home that is sure to impress both visitors and future buyers alike. While some can afford to get into the Luxury Real Estate market, this is not an option for everyone.  

Thankfully, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality or style in your home. There are plenty of affordable ways you can take your home to another level. With that in mind, here are a few tips to make your home as luxurious as it can be. 

Upgrade the Hardware

A simple and quick way to up the luxury level in your home is to change the hardware on the cupboards in your kitchen and bathroom. Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars to remodel your kitchen, you can spend less than a few hundred by changing out drawer pulls and cabinet knobs. You can do this in several other rooms, as well, and you may be shocked at how something as simple as a new doorknob can have such a major impact.

New hardware can instantly change the look of any room, and make a space feel much more elegant. Despite this, they are quite affordable and can be found at dozens of different retailers, both in-store and online. They come in many different colors and designs, as well. Even changing out door knobs, the towel rack in the bathroom or the coat hangers in your entryway can elevate the space in an important, but subtle way. 

Get Creative With the Lighting

Another way to add some luxury to your home is to get creative with the lighting. Light fixtures come in dozens of different sizes, types and styles. Replacing your old, outdated or plain light fixtures with new ones can make a space feel much more luxurious. These fixtures can be great accessories to complement a space, or they can be large and bold to make a statement. 

Larger pieces will draw the eye immediately, while others have a more subtle beauty and work well with other art and accessories in the room.

In addition to the lighting fixtures themselves, the light in your home can also add to a feeling of luxury. For example, instead of using the same jarring bright blue light that many homes do, consider warmer tone light bulbs to set the mood and the overall ambience of the home. Ensure the home also has a lot of natural light, and try not to block windows.

Bring the Outdoors in

Adding some flowers and plants in the home is another great way to add a touch of class to a space without spending a lot of money. These can work to add color in your home, as well as add some unique textures to contrast your art or other decor. These can be anything from a colorful bouquet in a vase, to a large climbing plant in a ceramic pot.

Plants and flowers can be placed at various heights or hung in corners to add some great visuals to your room, but also fill your home with a subtle, yet pleasant, scent. In addition to bright plants and large flowers, consider other ways you bring the outdoors in. Try adding some pinecones in a glass jar, for example, or placing twigs in a vase for an earthy and comfortable look. 

These outdoor effects can be changed out with the season, or any time you want a little change of scenery.

A Luxury Home on a Budget

With the right changes, adding luxury to your home is not a difficult task. Whether you bring the outdoors in, get creative with the lighting or upgrade the hardware, there are plenty of ways to enhance the look and feel of your home, on any budget.
