How To Make Your Place Look More EXPENSIVE! | Budget Friendly Interior Design Hacks For Your Home
Learn how to make your place look more expensive on a budget. In this video, I give you 5 tips to make your home look more expensive so you get the most bang for your buck on a home renovation! PLUS we go over some IKEA hacks to upgrade your bathroom vanity and we learn about different interior design styles.
Panel Moulding: Panel moulding, wainscotting, chair rails, baseboards and crown mouldings can be an inexpensive way to add value to any home. Immediately, your place looks more expensive because it looks customized and tailored to your home. Yes these things can add up for sure, but strategic use of mouldings makes a place feel more luxury by adding detail and framing to a room.
Wallpaper: When you walk into a home and there is beautiful wallpaper on the walls, you just know that it is custom to the owner and that the details have been thought through. This immediately makes your place look more expensive.
Bold Lighting: Lighting in a room often acts as a focal point, so use that to your advantage by investing in a quality piece. Bold lighting can draw people’s attention and makes the whole room feel more luxurious and well designed.
Cabinet Hardware: Cabinet hardware is an ideal way to add sparkle and luxury to bathroom vanities, drawer pulls, kitchen cabinets and media consoles. Think of it like jewellery for your home – adds shine and sparkle to otherwise ordinary cabinets elevating the whole piece without spending lots of money on furniture.
Interior Design Style and Sticking With It: Knowing your interior design style goes a long way toward not wasting money on furnishings that don’t fit the rest of your space, and also making sure your space looks cohesive and well thought out.

at 4:19 on lighting, where can I find this chandelier? Please and thank you !!
I would love to see you do small home interiors.
Only put up wallpaper if it’s timeless and you know what it’s like to remove!
Question! Hi Nick- I just wallpapered one wall in my bathroom and I absolutely love it but would love to do it again with a more expensive wallpaper in my living room. Do you have a favorite brand/seller? I'm looking for a grasscloth in a light teal color-thanks!
Just watched the living room mistakes video. Yup, I did them all.
Is it just me or does crown and panel moulding look like it's going to age terribly? Looks like tacky ceiling/wall base boards lmaoo — Not to mention the hassle it is to dust it
I know that this is an older video and you may not see this comment but i still want to ask – what do you think about wall murals? Because i have a small-ish living room with furniture against one wall and couch and co against the other, but being not a pictures person, i am thinking about turning that empty couch wall into a mural. Opinions?
