1. Windows Make the Room

One of the cheapest ways to give your home a touch of elegance is by sprucing up your windows. Window treatments stop a window from looking unfinished and cheap especially if you use quality fabrics and materials. For the best effect use thick fabrics with lining and avoid anything see through. Stick to natural fabrics like silk, cotton, and linen. Alternatively, consider woven bamboo shades or wood blinds.

 

A fresh coat of paint for your windows is also another simple and relatively cheap way to rejuvenate a room and give it a more updated look.

2. Lighting Elegance

Designer lighting fixtures can make your home look expensive and luxurious, but if you can’t afford them, there are few tricks you can try to compensate. Instead of investing in new lighting, why not try buffing or painting your current lighting to give it a custom look? If you have an old chandelier, you want to spruce up adding something like a drum shade can immediately add elegance to the room.

3. Floor Them

Windows and lighting aren’t the only things that can make a room stand out. Good floors can make a world of difference too. Hardwood floors can last a long time and are a good investment. Dark wood like walnut or Jacobean can make a room look expensive, but they can also be costly to install. For price birch and oak wood are cheaper than cherry.

 

If you want a wood look to your floors without the price of real hardwood tiles can mimic hardwood flooring very effectively, but can be hard and cold and, depending on the choice of tile can be pricey. Vinyl and laminates also offer durable and realistic looking alternatives to hardwood for a fraction of the cost of real wood. Opt for something with texture that follows the image of the grain or has a band-sawn effect. Vinyl can also mimic tile and provided you don’t require waterproof floors can be great and cheaper alternative to tile flooring.

8. Bargain Hunt

The best way to get luxury on the cheap is to bargain hunt. Shop outlets and discount stores, sister and craft stores, thrift stores, garage sales and hardware stores are all great places to hunt for quality items at discount prices. The internet is also a great place to trawl for discounted items. Craigslist  is a useful site if you’re looking for furniture with a bit of history, but remember: Buyer beware.
