Whether you’re prepping your home to sell, or you’re looking for a change to spruce up your home, we’ve got some excellent tips on how to make your home look more expensive. Luckily, making your home look expensive doesn’t have to be expensive! The secret lies in the little details and small touches that will create an expensive feel to your home and add value! So let’s take a look at these five simple ways to make your home look more expensive.
Curtains are key components to a well designed room. Unfortunately custom curtains can be outrageously expensive. But adding these touches to store bought curtains will allow to to achieve that expensive look:
- Hang your curtains at ceiling level. This will draw your eyes up, creating the illusion of a taller, more spacious room
- Add a banding to the bottom of the curtain to add a pop of color and more visual detail
Create or Enhance the Appearance of Crown Molding
Enhancing your crown molding can add an expensive looking touch to your home. Add an additional trim underneath your existing crown molding to enlarge and enhance its appearance. A coat of fresh white paint won’t hurt either. If you don’t have crown molding, consider buying some and installing it yourself. It’s a very simple process and many home improvement stores have pre-cut and pre-painted sections of crown molding. But if you’re not looking to spend must money, we suggest painting a white band around the ceiling to fake the look of an existing molding.
Overstuff Your Pillows
In order to get the full, volumized look of custom throw pillows, overstuff your pillows by using inserts larger than the pillow cover itself. Upholsterers often use this technique when they create custom pillows for customers.

Don’t Forget About the Small Touches
Subtle details can go a long way when it comes to making your home look more expensive. It could be as simple as adding some fresh flowers or a sleek stack of books to your coffee table. Or maybe adding a stylish black and white photo or framed map of the city will add that expensive touch. But remember, you’re going for sleek, refined, and minimal, not clutter. So be careful not to go overboard.
