No One Wants a Cheap-Looking Home! The Truen Group can help.

 

Here are Ways to Make Your Home Look a Little Bougie😉:

 

1. Declutter and organize:

 

One of the easiest and cheapest ways to make your home look more sophisticated is to declutter and organize your space.

 

Clearing out unnecessary items and keeping things tidy can instantly make your home feel more high-end.

 

• Use stylish baskets or storage boxes to keep clutter at bay while adding visual interest to your space.
• Consider installing shelving or cabinets to help maximize your storage space and keep your home looking neat and tidy.
• Donate or sell any items you no longer need or use to free up space and make your home feel more spacious.

 

 

2. Add a fresh coat of paint:

 

A fresh coat of paint can completely transform a room and make it look more modern and sophisticated.

 

Choose a neutral color palette for a timeless and elegant look.

 

• Consider adding an accent wall in a bold or dark color to add depth and sophistication to a room.
• Use high-quality paint to ensure a smooth and even finish that will last for years.
• Consider one color in a main living area for a cohesive space.

 

3. Upgrade hardware and fixtures:

 

Replacing outdated or inexpensive hardware and fixtures such as doorknobs, cabinet pulls,

 

and light fixtures with newer, high-end options can instantly elevate the look of your home.

 

• Look for sales or discounts on high-end hardware and fixtures to get a great deal on an upscale look.
• Mix and match different metals or finishes for a modern and eclectic look that's still cohesive.
• Upgrade your showerhead or faucet to a more luxurious option for a spa-like experience at home.

 

4. Hang statement curtains:

 

Adding statement curtains made from high-quality fabrics can add an elegant touch to

 

your windows and create a focal point in a room.

 

• Choose curtains with a bold print or pattern to make a statement and add interest to a room.
• Invest in blackout curtains to keep your space cool and dark, making it feel more upscale and luxurious.
• Consider using different types of curtains in the same room, such as sheer panels paired with heavier drapes, to create depth and texture.

 

5. Incorporate plants:

 

 

Adding greenery to your home can make it feel more vibrant and sophisticated.

 

Consider adding a few potted plants or a small herb garden to your kitchen or living room.

 

• Choose plants that are easy to care for, such as succulents or snake plants, to add life to your space without requiring a lot of maintenance.
• Use hanging plants or trailing vines to add height and visual interest to a room.
• Consider grouping different types of plants together to create a mini indoor garden that will make your space feel more lush and sophisticated.

 

6. Use accent lighting:

 

Adding accent lighting such as table lamps, floor lamps, or string lights can create a cozy

 

and intimate atmosphere and make your home feel more inviting.

 

• Choose warm, soft lighting for a cozy and inviting atmosphere, or use brighter, cooler lighting for a modern and sleek look.
• Use dimmer switches to adjust the brightness of your lighting to suit your needs and create different moods throughout the day.
• Consider using candles or fairy lights to add a warm and welcoming glow to your home.

 

7. Add decorative molding:

 

Installing decorative molding such as crown molding, chair rails,

 

or wainscoting can add architectural interest to a room and make it look more high-end.

 

• Choose molding that complements the architecture of your home for a seamless look.
• Paint your molding in a contrasting color to create a dramatic effect and make it stand out.
• Use crown molding to create the illusion of higher ceilings, making your space feel more grand and luxurious.

 

8. Hang large-scale artwork:

 

Hanging large-scale artwork on your walls can create a dramatic and sophisticated look.

 

Look for affordable prints or create your own artwork using canvas and paint.

 

 

• Choose artwork that reflects your personal style and complements your home's decor for a cohesive and sophisticated look.
• Consider grouping different pieces of artwork together to create a gallery wall that will make a statement and add interest to a room.
• Use oversized mirrors to reflect light and create the illusion of more space, making your home feel more upscale and luxurious.

 

9. Use luxury textiles:

 

Adding high-end textiles such as linen or velvet to your bedding, curtains, or throw

 

pillows can add a touch of luxury and sophistication to your home.

 

• Choose high-quality bedding and linens in soft, luxurious fabrics such as silk or Egyptian cotton for a hotel-inspired look.
• Experiment with different textures and patterns to add depth and visual interest to your space.
• Mix and match different textiles, such as velvet and faux fur, to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

 

10. Display collections:

 

Displaying collections such as vintage books, antique plates,

 

or vintage glassware can add a personal touch to your home and make it feel more curated and sophisticated.

 

• Use floating shelves to display your collections in an organized and visually pleasing way.
• Group similar items together, such as antique teacups or vintage cameras, to create a cohesive and curated look.
• Consider rotating your collections throughout the year to keep your space feeling fresh and interesting.
