10 Easy Ways To Elevate Your Home

10 Easy Ways To Elevate Your Home

10 Easy Ways to Elevate Your Home

 

As we all know not everyone has the time to go to the store to hunt for pretty decor to elevate your home here are the best finds.

Here are the Top 10 easy ways to elevate your home with just one click away!

1. Art Work

Finding pretty Art work like landscapes, still art, and vintage florals, are some examples of how this can help elevate your home and make it look expensive on a budget.

    Elevate Your Home Art

 

 

 

Pretty art can elevate your home and create mood, inspiration, and intentional design.

2. Area Rug instead of Bath Mats

Instead of going for the generic bath mats try swapping them out for an area rug to make your bathroom look designer. Whether it is a small area rug or a runner, this will elevate your home 1000%!

 

 

3. Linen Curtains

Linen curtains are the best way to add texture, elegance, and natural lighting to your home. Make sure when you hang your curtains to add them as high as you can to add height to your space and make your home feel grand!

 

 

 

Curtains are like the earrings to your outfit, they literally make a huge difference in your home. Try staying away from the grommet curtains and get the rod pocket on your curtains this will help your home look more luxurious!

4. Mini Lamp in Kitchen

Everyone needs a mini lamp in their kitchen, this adds another element of design. Whether you rent or own adding a lamp in your kitchen can add a homey feeling. So when your kitchen is closed and your turn off all your lights keep your kitchen lamp on it will add moodiness, warmth, and style to your kitchen.

 

 

5. Decorative Pillows

One way to elevate your home is not to use the pillows your couch came in! Try to find different pillows with different colors and textures to give your home a unique style. Try to refrain from matching pillows and get 1 of different shades of color or complimentary colors.

 

 

 

6. Layering Your Bedding

Layering your bedding is one of the most satisfying and easy ways to make your home designer and cozy. I recommend collecting bedding of colors that go well together.

If you like a neutral vibe start with linen white sheets as your base, then a duvet insert I highly recommend getting a beige or neutral color duvet insert this is an affordable way to change your sheets every time without spending on a new comforter every time. I also find that the duvet is a space saver but if you want volume you can opt for a comforter.

The next way to add layers to your bed is to add a quilt can be a pattern, florals, stripes, etc., and then layer another throw blanket over the top of your beautiful bedding.

Lastly, your pillows add decorative pillows! I love this part because you can either add a lot of pillows or do minimal and your bed will still look good. It’s all about balance!

 

 

 

 

7. Unique Vessels

Finding unique vessels are hard to come by but if you can get your hands on a beautiful unique piece it will give your home decor character. You can use the vessels alone or add some dried flowers and it will look so good!



 

 

 

 

 

Getting an organic shape, clay or ceramic vessel will elevate your home!

8. Dough Bowls / Trays

Dough bowls are a must in any decor collection! I personally have started collecting a few so I can use them throughout my home and let me tell you this completes your look! You can add it to your coffee table, console table, kitchen, in your bedroom, and even bathroom.


 

 

 

9. Coffee Table Books

Finding unique coffee table books will elevate your home, try finding books that not only look pretty but have inspiration or historic artifacts in the books. While everyone else is recommending interior design books only, I like to mix a few art books as well. Art can have a huge impact in your space but can also serve as a purpose and inspiration throughout your home. I like to mix in some regular books with pretty covers that can add dimension, height, and different sizes to your space.

 

 

 

 

10. Change your Hardware

Pretty Hardware can change and up your game in your space! Even if you have existing cabinetry in your kitchen, dresser, desk, or console can change the look of your home. Adding small changes can make a huge difference! Depending on your style you can go with any finish, for example, antique brass, polished brass, chrome, oil-brushed bronze, or matte blank. Any updated hardware or repurposing antique hardware will add so much character to your home.

 

 

 

 

 

As you start adding these elements to your home you will start seeing everything come together. Start one project at a time, and really see what you like and what you don’t like. Then pair different colors, finishes, and art together to see what works so you can create a cohesive design through your home.
