This guide will show you how to make your dream space look and feel expensive, but it only costs pennies. So here are a few tips from Lottoland to give your home an expensive look for less.

1. You can paint a feature wall

A feature wall can be a cost-effective and easy way to create a focal point in your home. You can paint more complex designs if you are an artist. However, a few simple geometric shapes that have been drawn and painted can make a room look great.

A simple rectangle can be used to highlight a gallery wall with a bold colour. The cost of the paint is also minimal. Depending on how many colours you choose, you only need one or two tester pots of paint.

2. Wall Art: Go Big

Wall art is a great way to tie your room together. It doesn’t need to be costly. Hang a piece of art that stands out on your wall. This will make a huge impact. It is important to pick art that matches the decor of the room.

If your room is traditional, an abstract pop art painting will likely stick out. If you’re looking for affordable, unique pieces, your local charity shops might have them. On average, wall art costs between PS10 and PS100 per piece.

3. Redecorate/Paint

Your home’s appearance can be completely transformed by decorating and painting. You can choose to redecorate your home with a serene or vibrant interior design, depending on what you like. You can save money by painting and decorating your space yourself. In this case, you only have to purchase the paint, wallpaper, brushes, rollers, and other materials.

Many people prefer to have a professional decorate their homes to make sure it is finished to the highest standards. It costs around PS1,500 to hire someone to decorate your entire house. Prices will vary depending on what materials you choose, where you live in the UK, and how big your home is.

4. Colours can be used cleverly

Your home can look expensive and luxurious by using neutral colours for paint and furniture. The space will appear larger if you use lighter colours than those with darker hues.

However, if you do choose a colour for your floor, skirting, and walls, it is better to keep the edges of the room less visible. Prices will vary depending on the paint brand. However, sanding and painting floorboards will run around PS20 per square foot.

5. Use mirrors and candles to decorate

A room that has scented candles and diffusers can be enriched with substance, style, elegance, class, and class can have a lot of character. Mirrors can also be used to enhance the luxurious feel of your home.

Mirrors not only look great but also allow light to flow through the space. This can transform a dark, lifeless space into something beautiful and bright.

6. Declutter

Clutter can make your living space look untidy and disorganized. First, ask yourself if you really need a particular item. If you can’t throw things away, look for chic baskets and bins to help organise your clutter.

Bonus: Use fresh flowers and opt for statement arrangements

If you want to make a big statement, consider having a bunch of fresh flowers that exude luxury. Nothing brings vibrancy and elegance quite like a well-curated floral display.

Whether you choose a grand centerpiece of lovely peony arrangements for your dining table or smaller arrangements strategically placed throughout your space, fresh flowers’ natural beauty and fragrant scents will elevate your home’s aesthetic and create a luxurious ambiance.
