Stunning Features That Will Instantly Make Your Home Look More Expensive

A New Home for the Holidays-Chispa MagazineLooking to make your property look more impressive? Regardless of the size or type of home you live in, there are things you can do to make it look grand and expensive. Here’s how you can go about making your home look more glamorous, wow your guests and achieve a home you’ve always dreamed of.

Beautiful Flooring
Peeling vinyl, threadbare carpet, and warped laminates are all a fast way to bring down the look of your home. Regardless of how you dress the room, these are things that will cheapen the look. Flooring is so important and is something to think out carefully and get right when you want to make your home look its best. Ideally, go for one type of floor covering all throughout the downstairs and another for upstairs. Downstairs should be something very hardwearing, easy to clean and doesn’t hold onto any stains or smells. You could opt for wood, tile or even look into modern concrete finishes. Upstairs choose a plush carpet, and enforce a ‘no shoes upstairs’ rule to keep it clean and at its best. Going for the same style and color throughout helps to create a flow, tie everything together and make it look expensive and well thought out.

Stunning Taps
The kitchen and bathroom are two rooms which will really add value to the house and are a quick way to make a home look more expensive. But if you don’t have the funds to rip everything out and start again, you can make a dramatic difference with the use of taps. Good taps can make an inexpensive sink or bathtub look new and expensive. You could also consider updating the hardware on your cabinet doors too. These simple changes can hugely update how the room looks without too much expense or effort on your part.

Well Thought Out Lighting
Lighting should never be an afterthought. As much planning and research should go into your light fixtures as all of the other pieces in your home. Good lighting looks expensive and elegant, so choose carefully. It could be anything from a stunning chandelier to something more modern. The key is to find the right balance with size. It shouldn’t look ‘lost’ up on the ceiling, but it shouldn’t be so big that it overpowers the room either. Once you have your main light fixture sorted, think about secondary lightings such as lamps and cabinet lights. Choose pieces that coordinate well with each other. For example, choose an accent metal whether it’s rose gold, copper, silver, gold or bronze and keep to the same shade without. This will help to tie everything together.

A Gorgeous Banister + Staircase
Aside from the kitchen and bathroom, one other feature in the home that can really make a statement is the staircase. Fit a stunning banister, and you could even remove any carpet and make a feature of the wooden steps. You can find ideas on sites like Pinterest. A gorgeous staircase is particularly nice as in most homes this is the thing you will see first when you step inside.
