The beauty is in the detail… And here are different ways to make your home look and feel more expensive through interior styling. Small details that make a big difference.

1. Texture

The first thing that makes a home look more expensive is refined surfaces and quality textures. An eclectic mix and a variety of interesting finishes can work such as stone, wood, cement, glass, metal and leather. These all add an element of interest, texture and bring quality and elegance to your home.

2. It’s in the detail

Invest in an upgrade of fixtures and fittings such as chrome light switches and wall plugs, if yours seem a bit outdated. They don’t have to be metal they can be plastic if that’s more manageable, but choose a modern cool design as there’s plenty out there that won’t break your budget. You’ll instantly know you did the right thing every time you enter a room, as you’ll instantly notice what a difference it makes, and everyone else will notice too.

Furthermore, those simple touches add value to your property. The same goes for door knobs and finger plates on doors.

Nothing says luxury like marble, so why not add a marble table, especially when it’s as beautiful as this Wandflower Marble Top Side Table, with a diameter of 45cm, combining black and gold tripod legs with a white marble table-top and golden rim.

The black, white, and champagne colours, and marble, glass and metal combo will add chic modernity to your home. It’s the ideal accent furniture piece.

3. Less is more: Reduce Clutter

Getting rid of, or hiding clutter, with elegant storage options will immediately add a more tidy, manicured look, as well as clear your mind from distractions. You’ll always know where everything is once organised and put away, it just won’t be in your face anymore.

Store away all your bits and bobs in this Lenox Oak and Cement TV Stand, with two cabinets, two open shelves and handy cable management.

It’s the colour palette, Sonoma Oak and Cement, with curved edges, that adds an interesting element, plus high-quality specs and on-trend interior design appeal.

4. The power of art

Art transforms a space, so add a special, unique unexpected piece of art to give your home personality. It will make a humble abode feel homely as well as exude taste.

5. Opt for neutral tones to give a refined look

Paired back tones, whether it means deep charcoals and rich earthy tones or soft whites, creams and pastels, keeping your colour palette to a simple, clean, minimalistic design, will assist in giving it a cosy, inviting and more curated, well-thought-out feel.

6. Add a large mirror

There’s something about a large oversized mirror in a space, which immediately lights up a room and helps it feel and look larger. It will also give your home a more ‘finished feel to it.

7. Add a sophisticated glass bar trolley

This on-trend curved Detroit - Glass Bar Cart adds an instant wow factor and definitely gives you that polished look. Available in black or gold, with industrial chic wheels for manoeuvrability.

8. Go for a glamorous coffee table

Get the look! The perfect place to display your designer objects is on this cool oblong, curved mid-century inspired Oakland Mirrored Oblong Coffee Table, available in 3 fabulous colours - Black, Chrome or Copper.

The glass top with a metal base adds a glossy, chic black surface to your decor scheme and looks perfect with coffee table books or a vase of your favourite flowers. With plenty of room left to be functional for serving drinks.

The metal frame construction and slimline table legs look fresh and modern, making this a great option to bring that minimal Scandinavian designer look to your home.

9. Fabric

It’s better to use less of an expensive material, than lots of a cheaper material.

Buy some designer cushions and choose a great stand-out fabric with a bold design. Or if loud isn’t your style use velvet for luxe, quality and comfort.

You can also maximise on designer impact by lining the inside of a wardrobe or cupboard shelving with a designer wallpaper that either matches your walls or brings colour to a room with plain walls. The richer the better here is possible as you are only covering small areas.

10. Give new life to old furniture pieces

A few simple DIY styling ideas, such as upcycling older furniture pieces and giving them a modern look can add a new lease of life to your interior.

Get creative and paint old furniture bright colours, add a pop of originality, or go bold with modern fabrics on old unloved chairs.

It’s all about having that one unique piece that no one else has, and then mixing and matching it with cool functional chic contemporary home furniture.
