Accessories That Make Everything In Your Home Look Expensive

When you think of an expensive-looking home, what do you picture? I imagine a big, bright, spacious house with various textures and luxurious home accessories. Luckily, this isn’t hard to achieve. Even if you are someone who is on a budget, a lavish living space is possible with just a few small home accessories. Just because you’re on a tighter-than-usual allowance shouldn’t have to mean your humble abode looks any less expensive than a celebrity’s mansion in the Hollywood Hills. Making fewer, and more informed purchases can mean that you avoid cluttering rooms with, let's face it, cheap tack. EZ Living Furniture loves sharing its interior advice with you and this blog is no different. In this instalment, EZ Living will help you to style your home with trendy accessories that will add real value to any room or open-plan space. Keep reading to learn more……

Pendant Lighting

Certain accessories exude elegance and the Lekar Smoked Glass Hanging Lamps are certainly no exception. Appropriate lighting is key when it comes to making your home look more expensive and pendant lights such as these work well above a dining table or bar counter. Ceiling lights will usually help to draw attention to the centre of a room, so make sure to include a simple, yet elegantly designed one in as many rooms as you can. Try to avoid ceiling lights with fabric lamp shades in areas such as the kitchen because they can gather dust and discolour within a very short period of time.

Round Wall Mirror

An unusual-shaped wall mirror can lend itself to a number of areas throughout the house. This mirror in particular has a modern look that could be used in a living room, dining room, bedroom, hallway, or even bathroom. The Monroe Mirror is extremely versatile and will coordinate well with any preexisting decor while creating a statement because of its shape. A mirror has many benefits, it can help to maximise the light and space in the room and make it appear bright and spacious. Who says you need a huge house to give the appearance of wealth?

Framed Wall Art

Framed wall art should never be underestimated. The clean-cut edges on a framed canvas and framed print are a classy spin on the tired, old inspirational quote posters we are used to seeing. Live, laugh, love - a once loved poster or wall sticker now sends even the most unphased individuals into a tizzy. It’s true! But a framed piece of art gives off a stylishness that will make your friends think you shelled out big bucks at an exclusive art dealer’s exhibition for it. Don’t worry, we won’t tell if you don’t. Remember to choose wall art that blends seamlessly with pre-existing colours in the room. The New York Skyline framed print above has a multitude of colours that are designed to fit it and stand out. It’s the perfect piece to transform your home into an extravagant oasis.

Vases & Plant Pots

Usually, a person buys a vase for one reason and one reason only - to display beautifully arranged flowers. I mean, it is their main purpose after all and who doesn’t love adding a bit of colour and greenery to a space? Fresh flowers and plants are essential to a person’s wellbeing and definitely have a place in the home, but vases and pot plants are normally so beautifully textured that they can also just be used as an ornament. Just look at our Mashaba Sand Vases sitting next to each other in the image above. They don’t have any plants or flowers inside of them but that doesn’t stop them from creating a lavish statement. Their creamy colour combined with their sand-like texture makes them look like something out of a museum or better still, a fancy home. Instead of re-mortgaging your home to afford them, you can pick these up for less than a family’s weekly shop.

Area Rugs

Have you ever seen photographs of an expensive home without at least a couple of dozen rugs covering the floors? I didn’t think so. Wooden and concrete floors are very popular now but without the addition of an area rug, the space can be left looking and feeling cold and uninviting. An area rug can add an element of warmth and cosiness to a space while also giving the illusion that your home has been created for you by an interior designer. The Vagium Rug honours a simple, Scandinavian design and can lend itself to both contemporary and traditional homes. By including this elegant rug in your home you’re sure to turn a few heads and invite questions such as “How much did that designer rug cost you?”.

Decorative Trays Or Bowls

Accessories don’t have to be large or expensive to make an impact. Just look at our Neva Antique Copper Bowls. Not only can these be used to group other accessories such as plants, coasters, and books together, but they can also be used as a statement piece on their own. These decorative bowls will introduce an antique copper colour to an extravagantly decorated home. If framed art really isn’t your “thing” then you can also use these bowls as 3D art on a wall.

By including these accessories throughout the home, it will immediately feel more modern and lavish than it was before.

Other impactful accessories to incorporate are antiques, table lamps, decorative boxes, ornaments, candles and coffee table books. But remember, having too many items scattered around the house can make rooms feel cluttered. Should you need help decluttering, we suggest reading; What Are The Best Ways To Declutter Your Home?
