7 Affordable Ways to Make Your Home More Luxurious

So, you want to make your home more luxurious! Fair enough, you work hard, and when you get home in the evening, you want to feel relaxed and happy in your space. Yet, you do not have a massive budget to turn your house into a palace. Here we explore seven affordable ways to give you that look of luxury that you crave!

Heat your floor from beneath

Underfloor heating sounds like a significant expense and one that is far from affordable. However, you would be surprised how little it costs and how much difference it can make to your utility bills. If you really feel like this is a stretch beyond affordable, then you can choose to have one room in your house done. Your kitchen can feel a whole lot cosier with underfloor heating. Better still, if you use underfloor heating in your bathroom, you can experience the wonder of a warm floor as you step out of your shower or bath. 

Yet, really think about the difference no radiators on your walls could make to the sense of space and the clean lines for your furnishing. It might just be worth stretching your budget a little bit.

Spa experience in the bathroom

A place where you relax is a great area to spend a little money to add a little luxury. Therefore, adding some jets to your tub could be just the treat you need to make your home feel lusher. However, it might be simpler than this. You could opt for a statement tub, one that really pleases your eye when you walk in for a bubble bath. Alternatively, you could opt for a wet room shower or a small accessory such as a waterfall tap. 

Sensory luxury

You may prefer the luxury to be felt through your feet. There is nothing that says luxury more to your bare feet that a lovely deep pile rug. The great thing about a rug is that it can be moved, and it can be a statement piece that doesn’t cost the earth. The aesthetic impact of a rug is significant, and the feeling when you sink into a wool rug is immense. If you are looking to save a bit of cash, you may want to opt for a wool mix. It is the same feeling but not quite the same price tag.

Put some work into your hallway

The entrance to your home is your first impression of your world. It is also the first thing to give you a sense of luxury when you come home. Strangely, it is the place where we are most likely to allow clutter to gather and for the lighting to be dull. Think of those boutique hotels and how they make you feel welcome. Some small details and effects make you believe you have walked into a five-star palace. 

So, time to do something to transform that space. You could always go the whole way and put up a chandelier. If this is a little much for your two-bedroom mid-terrace, then you could try some LED lights instead. You should also try to include some bright colours and features that guide the eye into the rooms beyond. 

More importantly, you should try to include some storage in your hall to deal with the coats, shoes, keys, and general detritus. If you keep the area free from clutter, it will automatically feel more welcoming.

More on storage

Storage is one of those things that can transform any space. We often think of it as an afterthought. However, the right storage solution can transform a busy and cramped house into a spacious home. It doesn’t have to be expensive either; as long as you look to create a theme with your storage, it can become a significant asset in an interior design plan.

Curtains and drapes

How we choose to frame and dress our windows can make a significant difference to a room’s feel. You are not just adding something that will give you privacy and keep out a draft, but something that will become quite a significant statement. When you relax for an evening and shut out the world, these curtains, drapes, or blinds will become a dominant feature. 

Therefore, if you have little money to spend, one area to spend money on would be window dressing. It is something that can make your room feel homely and luxurious with a little extra spend. If you go all-out and get made-to-measure, you will be the talk of the neighbourhood.

Flowers

The last suggestion is straightforward and may only cost you twenty quid or so every few weeks. Buying yourself a couple of bouquets to put in vases in critical parts of your home will not only drench your home with the scent but a vibrant explosion of colour. You be amazed by what they can do for your sense of feeling loved too.
