Affordable Luxury: Top Design Hacks
Want to create an “affordable luxury” vibe in your home without breaking the bank? After fulfilling so many home design dreams for our clients at Redefined Living, I’ve decided to share some of my top interior design hacks for “affordable luxury” living!
Focus on Foundations
Neutral Color Palette
Opt for a timeless neutral color palette for walls, furniture, and large rugs. This creates a clean and sophisticated base, allowing you to add pops of color and personality with smaller decor items.
Quality over Quantity
Invest in a few key pieces of high-quality furniture, even if it means waiting and saving up. Classic styles with clean lines and natural materials like wood or leather will always add an elegant touch to your space.
Embrace the Power of Details
Lighting
Layering different types of lighting, such as ambient, task, and accent lighting, adds depth and dimension to your space. Consider floor lamps, table lamps, and strategically placed sconces for a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Mirrors
Strategically placed mirrors can make your space feel larger and brighter! Look for vintage finds at thrift stores or flea markets for a unique touch.
Greenery
Plants add life and color to any space. Choose low-maintenance varieties and group them in stylish planters for a curated look.
Shop Smart and Be Creative
Thrift Stores and Flea Markets
These hidden gems can be a treasure trove for unique and affordable furniture, decor, and artwork. With a little DIY magic, you can transform a thrifted find into a statement piece.
DIY projects
Upcycle old furniture by painting, reupholstering, or adding new hardware. You can also create your own artwork or decorative items using inexpensive materials. Explore all of our DIY home decoration projects!
Shop Off-Season
Look for clearance sales or shop off-season to score great deals on furniture and decor.
Remember:
Curate, don’t clutter: Display only your favorite pieces! A cluttered space will never feel luxurious.
Personalize your space: Don’t be afraid to add your own personal touch. Incorporate pieces that reflect your unique style and personality.
