Anyone can turn a simple, boring interior into an elegant and impressive space. Here are 5 ideas for indulging in luxury without compromising on style or quality.
1. Antique mirror
Add a touch of old-fashioned elegance to your hallway or bedroom by hanging an antique mirror. The mirror can act like a centerpiece that draws the most attention, more than paintings or furniture. Make any room look more elegant and comfortable without spending a fortune on overly opulent decorations.
2nd lamp
Add an elegant antique lamp next to the antique mirror. Antique lights are mainly made of metal such as brass, gold or silver with glass covers. Modern lighting fixtures include desk lamps, standalone lamps, ceiling lights, and chandeliers. The most luxurious chandeliers illuminate the entire space and hang like sculptures to impress your guests.
3. Oriental carpet
An oriental carpet lasts for decades and looks comfortable for everyone. The Asian and Middle Eastern designs consist of different materials such as wool, cotton or silk. You can find carpets woven by modern members of nomadic tribes and those made in Iran, the main residence of Persian carpets. Finding the ideal rugs and trying to save money is a challenge but well worth it. You want to look for signs of good quality while avoiding cheap imitations.
4. Wall art
Simple murals look very elegant and impressive without costing more than a hundred dollars. Wood art has a unique design with the classic look of wood. Affordable oil paintings can be bought in bulk and cover every wall in a room. It is also possible to convert personal photos into bespoke paintings. There are tons of websites out there where people bid for auctions, buy works directly from artists, and swap pieces with other art lovers.
5. Curtains
Curtains are made from a wide variety of fabrics. Choose the most luxurious materials like linen, silk, velvet, lace and acrylic. Using each one has advantages and disadvantages. Silk is smooth and elegant, but it tears and wrinkles more easily than other materials and therefore requires more maintenance. Lace is elegant and lets in light through its transparent fabric. Velvet looks the most luxurious, but a busy living room does require some maintenance to remove lint and dust.
In addition to the material, size is important. The most luxurious curtains are measured correctly to get the perfect length, width and thickness. It is also important to purchase the correct clips, tiebacks, or cords for opening and closing. There is a wide variety of papaya housewares to choose from, including stylish curtains with matching furniture and carpets.
Buying luxury home decor starts with putting together a list of ideas that you can incorporate into your home. Choose the ideas that best suit your glamorous style and sense of sophistication. Then compare and contrast the actual costs based on your budget. Each decor costs less than a hundred dollars if you know where to shop. Make sure that certain items such as antiques or Persian rugs are authentic and of good quality. Get double the benefits of improving your living style and saving money by investing in additional remodeling.
