Room-by-Room Styling Tips that Appear High-End

Achieving a high-end look in your home doesn’t have to be out of reach. With a few strategic choices and clever tricks, you can make each room look elevated without an inflated price tag. Here are some room-by-room styling tips that appear high-end.

 

 

Living Room: Prioritize Statement Pieces

Choose one or two statement pieces, like a well-designed sofa or a chic coffee table, to anchor the room.

Opt for neutral colors for larger furniture items and use bold, textured pillows and throws to add visual interest. Incorporate mirrors to reflect light and give the illusion of more space. Quality lighting, such as stylish floor lamps and overhead fixtures, can significantly enhance the room’s ambiance.

As long as you have a majority of quality furnishings to begin with, you can use less expensive pieces to add style. I love Home Goods and TJ Maxx for quick and easy styling pieces.

Kitchen: Update Hardware and Add Accents

Switch out old cabinet handles and drawer pulls with modern, stylish options.

This small change can instantly refresh the kitchen’s look. Consider adding a peel-and-stick backsplash for an affordable, high-end touch. Use matching containers and jars for storing essentials on the countertops to keep the space looking organized and elegant.

 

 

Dining Room: Mix Furniture Styles

You don’t need a matching dining set to create a high-end look. Mix and match different styles of chairs and table for an eclectic appearance. Use a statement centerpiece that doesn’t necessarily scream ‘dining room’. Like a pair of topiary on beautiful luncheon plates; a few stacks of hard bound books; and a stack of dessert dishes off to the side.

 

 

Bedroom: Layer Textures

Create a pampered feeling in your bedroom by layering different textures and fabrics.

Invest in quality bed linens and add a plush throw blanket along with decorative pillows. An upholstered headboard can add an extra touch of customization.

Stick to a cool color palette to incorporate a restful feeling and add silver touches with mercury bedside lamps and picture frames.

Bathroom: Focus on Small Updates

Small updates can make a big difference in the bathroom.

Replace outdated faucets and showerheads with modern designs. Use stylish containers for toiletries and invest in a set of quality white towels.

Adding a decorative mirror and ensuring good lighting can elevate the bathroom’s look. A nice woven basket can also bring a touch of freshness to the space in place of the usual trash bin.

Home Office: Keep It Organized

A tidy workspace with matching organizing tools looks clean and high-end. Using decorative storage solutions keeps the desk clutter-free.

Choose a comfortable and stylish chair. Personalize the office with framed artwork or photos. Good lighting is essential, so invest in a variety of quality lighting.

Entryway: Make a Strong First Impression

Your entry says a lot about the rest of your home and sets expectations right at the front door.

Style it to create a strong design statement. Use a console table to display decorative items like a vase, a bowl for keys, and a mirror. A stylish rug can define the space and add warmth. Keep the area organized with mail, shoes and purses tucked out of sight.
