1. Switch to Oak Flooring

The floor is one of the first things you notice in any room you walk into, so make it your top priority when redesigning or redecorating your home. Both the visual impact and the feel of the floor underfoot is important, which is why oak flooring is a perfect choice. As well as being solid and high-quality timber, it can be refinished in a variety of styles to complement your interior design. 

2. Add a Statement Piece to Every Room

You don’t need to cram a room full of furniture to create an impact, but each room should have a focal point. By choosing a statement piece of furniture or décor in every room, you can elevate the space and enhance the aesthetic. By choosing a statement piece that reflects the functionality of the room, you’ll find that your décor provides a workable environment for day-to-day life too. 

3. Use Lighting to Enhance the Atmosphere

From cool lighting in brightly lit spaces, such as kitchens and offices, to a soft glow in more relaxed environments, like living rooms and dining rooms, lighting has a major effect on your décor. By choosing fixtures and fittings that produce a layered effect, you can modify the atmosphere at any time and showcase your décor at its best. From spectacular chandeliers to subtle uplights and artistic floor standing lamps, there are endless ways you can use lighting to make your décor look more expensive. 

4. Make Subtle Upgrades to Existing Pieces

You don’t need to throw out your furniture and renovate your property to enjoy a fresh, new feel. Instead, you can make subtle changes to your existing interior and instantly make the space feel more stylish. Adding different handles to doors or using a fresh coat of paint on the walls are simple ways to update your décor and keep your home expertly maintained, for example. 

5. Display Fresh Flowers

When you’re looking for decorative pieces to display in your home, artwork and sculptures are always a good choice. However, it’s fresh flowers that can instantly make décor feel more luxurious and experience. Despite being an effortless way to enhance a room, a vase of fresh flowers can transform a space, brighten a room and give your home a more decadent feel. 

Redesigning Your Home

Whether you’re planning a major renovation, or you want to make minor changes to your décor, plan ahead and think strategically. By doing so, you can achieve the best results with minimum effort and get the best return on your investment. As a result, you’ll find it easy to give your décor an expensive feel and create a dream interior.
