Reduce clutter

Add some luxury

Add some luxury at the level you can afford. If you can afford a stylish art print then make that a feature. If you can afford real wood flooring then that can add a real warmth and luxurious feel to your home. A newly fitted kitchen or bathroom can also make your home feel modern and stylish. So add some luxury to your home at a level, but at a level you can afford.

Embrace light

You can also transform your home using light. Simple changes like illuminating dark corners will open up the area and make the room look more spacious. You can also utilise natural light and mirrors that reflect light to bring an airy feeling.

The use of natural light also blends your indoor space with the outdoors, thus eliminating the boundaries. Think about using uplights, lowlights, wall lights for any setting and candle lights to add warmth to your home and keep it practical too. A selection of different types of lighting will mean you can set the ambiance to how you like it for the situation. 

Colour-coordinate

Don't be afraid of colour but colour-coordinate to keep your home chic and fresh. Check out a colour wheel for complementary colours and tones, taking into account cool and warm colours. The 60, 30, 10 rule can help you plan your room. The main colour for your room should take up 60 per cent of the design, the secondary colour should take up 30 per cent while the accent colour 10 per cent.

As you can see there are a number of ways to make your home more beautiful with or without money. Let me know - do you strive to get that magazine cover look? Do you have any tips you can share with my readers?
