A home looks luxurious when it is edited, well lit and consistent. None of that depends on price.
Edit before you buy
Remove a third of what is on display in each room. Empty space is the least expensive luxury signal there is.
Repeat a small palette
Choose three colours and two materials for the whole home. Repetition between rooms is what makes a space feel designed.
Fix the lighting
Warm bulbs, shaded lamps and a dimmer do more than any piece of furniture.

Upgrade the textiles
Bedding, curtains and cushions are large surfaces. Washed, textured fabrics in plain colours look more refined than prints.
