Good design does not have to be expensive to look expensive. In fact, there are several low-cost designer “hacks” that will help ensure that your home will look like you splurged when you really saved.
Here are five affordable design hacks that can help add a luxury look for less to nearly any space:
Metal Framed Mirrors
Design Rationale: Metal framed mirrors, especially those in a brass metal trim, are one of the hottest trends in home decor right now. Hang mirrors in a series to help make a room feel larger or use as part of a gallery wall.
Acrylic Tables
Design Rationale: A less heavy and less expensive alternative to glass, acrylic tables work well for those looking to achieve a modern, affordable vibe.
Rattan, Caned or Woven Furniture
Design Rationale: Rattan was all the rage in the 70’s and it is certainly back. Caned furniture as well as woven furniture is a wonderful addition to a modern, relaxed space.
Modern Pendants or Chandliers
Design Rationale: Sometimes all you need is a bit of bling to make what was “old” feel new again. That is exactly what a fresh chandelier or light fixture can do to a room.
Small Artwork
Design Rationale: While large pieces of art can help to “anchor” a space, a varietal of small art pieces in different shapes and sizes can be a welcomed alternative to oversized canvases.
A series of brass metal mirrors makes a statement in this living room.- A grid of small art pieces helps to make an interesting and timeless statement.
- A side chair made of woven rope is both organic and modern.
- A pair of acrylic coffee tables sets the tone for a modern vibe that also helps to add a sense of weightlessness.
- A modern chandelier helps to add a finishing touch to this dining space.
