4 Affordable Ways To Make Your Home Elegant
Walk into any furniture showroom, and you'll instantly be bowled over by the price tags. If you believe their marketing, the only way you can have a put-together, elegant home is by spending ridiculous prices that are out of your price.
There are many affordable ways to create the home of your dreams, including renting furniture, appliances, and electronics. Here are our top tips for making your home an elegant haven on a budget.
1. The Luxury is in the Details
Pay attention to small finishes with big impact, like installing crown molding. Crown molding makes your home look like new, high-end construction, but it's actually relatively cheap. It's a perfect way to make your home feel finished.
2. Dress Up the Windows
It's easy to forget curtains or other window treatments, especially when you see the sheer volume of options there are available. But if you follow a few simple rules, you can give your windows a gorgeous, finished look on a budget.
- Choose elegant materials like natural soil, linen or cotton
- If you're skilled enough, find material at your local fabric store and make your own curtains
- For windows that you'd rather not use fabric on, opt for bamboo shades or wood blinds
3. Accessorize!
Choose a few coordinating accessories to make your home next-level gorgeous. From artwork to lamps to decor, make sure your accessories go together and bring a sense of continuity.
4. Rent Coordinated Furniture
Too often, a home is lacking one key feature: matching furniture. But, like we talked about earlier, matching furniture sets are often expensive. Opt for renting furniture sets for your bedrooms and living spaces, bringing the elegance of continuity to your home.
