How to Make Your Interior Look More Expensive: Design Tricks

Large investments do not always allow the interior to look expensive and stylish.

Sometimes, to create the desired effect, you just need to correctly place accents and use appropriate techniques.

Even a simply furnished room will look interesting if some work of art is used as its central object, says Yulia Tychino, an expert on design and architecture at the MOS SMI portal.

Paintings, installations, etc. are used as such art objects. A well-chosen decoration will attract the main attention. But when choosing a painting, it is worth preferring a lesser-known work to reproductions of famous canvases.

This way, no one will mentally compare the room to a museum or a palace hall. To achieve the desired result, you can also complement the interior with some truly chic functional item: a vintage or designer chair, a beautiful headboard or a more expensive finishing material.

Such an accent should also fit well into the overall environment.

Precious metals, especially gold, are closely associated with luxury. You shouldn't gild your bedroom or living room from floor to ceiling - small inclusions will allow you to unobtrusively fit gold paint into the interior.

Such details are most harmoniously combined with neutral finishing. Precious shine can be found on the legs of laconic tables, elements of lighting fixtures or decorative accessories.

Instead of gold details, you can focus on silver, chrome or copper. The metallic shine will add a play of light to the room.

One of the signs of a truly luxurious environment is an abundance of free space. The right placement of storage spaces will help add air to the room, as well as the desire not to acquire things that you can do without.

In this case, open shelves and racks are not filled to capacity, but only the most necessary, favorite or beautiful items are placed there.

A small number of items on display can be easily changed according to the season or mood.

In addition, it will be easier to maintain order in the room. Optical illusions or mirror elements will allow you to visually increase the area of the room. This will make the free space seem even larger.

The appearance of a room is not limited to its interior, but also includes the view from the windows.

If there is a beautiful view from there, you can further highlight it by turning the window into a kind of frame with the help of a suitable set of curtains.

If the view from the windows leaves much to be desired, you can, on the contrary, mask it with stained glass film, beautiful curtains or house plants.

Historical and classical interior styles are often associated with luxury, but implementing them in an ordinary apartment is not an easy task.

Without the necessary footage and ceiling height, you can only borrow individual features from these styles.

One of them is symmetry, an essential component of a classic setting. Symmetrical arrangement of objects is considered more natural and helps to create a feeling of reliability and calm.

Having chosen the central axis of the entire room or one of its zones, homogeneous objects are distributed on both sides of it: furniture, accessories, etc.
