Your home is your castle and even though you may not have a lot of money to put in custom cabinets or granite countertops in every room, there are some affordable upgrades you can to that’ll make your home look luxurious.

You want to do everything that you can to make your home look luxurious — however, your budget is getting in the way of making that happen.

The truth, however, is that especially in today’s world, it’s possible to totally upgrade the look of your home without having to spend half of your paycheck.

Want to know how you can make that happen for yourself?

Read on in order to find out.

From an accent wall to parting with items that you really never use, we’ll tell you how to make your home look its best for a seriously low price.

Your dream home is within reach — and within your current budget!

Accent Wall

1. Try an Accent Wall

So, you want to find a way to make your walls pop, but you can’t exactly afford to paint or wallpaper an entire room.

What’s the solution?

For a look that’s luxurious and affordable at the same time, rely on the accent wall.

Paint a single wall of a room in an attention-getting shade, like a bright red or a bold blue.

This will also help any art that you have hanging on your walls to seriously pop.

Upgrade Your Windows

2. Upgrade your Windows

Another awesome way to upgrade the look of your home without blowing your budget?

Take a look at your current window treatments.

You can use curtains in a colorful and bold fabric to elevate the overall look of a room. Don’t be afraid to go for bright colors and exciting, exotic prints.

Also, you can look to companies like Fifty Shades and Blinds to help you to find blinds that will help you to control the flow of light into a room.

This will help things look gorgeous, and can boost your feng shui in the process.

Make Your Space Look Bigger

3. Make your Space Look Bigger

Whether you have a one-room studio or just a cramped bedroom, we’re all always looking for ways to make our space look bigger.

One of our favorite tricks is to use full-length mirrors to get the job done.

If you can, use more than one mirror.

This will open up your space and allow you to get a 360-degree view of your room at the same time.

Less is More with Furniture

4. Less is More with Furniture

It might sound counterintuitive, but if you want to make your home look luxurious, overcrowding your space with furniture isn’t the way to go.

Instead, focus on investing in two or three high-quality and classic pieces that will never go out of style.

First of all, too much furniture can make your home look much smaller than it actually is. Additionally, it can look like you’re overcompensating and trying to distract from the poorly-designed parts of your house.

When it comes to decor, remember that less is more and minimalism is in.

Accessorize Plants

5. Accessorize with Plants

Frustrated by a lack of color in your home?

Want to eliminate the look of white space on your walls, but can’t afford an expensive paintings?

Air plants and houseplants are the ideal solution.

Not only do houseplants help to fill up empty space in your home, they can also improve your overall air quality and even help you to sleep better at night.

These are affordable home improvement ideas that can also help to keep you healthy and happy.

Reduce Clutter

6. Cut out Clutter

Clutter doesn’t just make your home look cramped and crowded.

It can also come with some serious psychological setbacks, including an increased stress level and poor mood.

When you want to do some home improvement upgrades on a budget, sometimes, you need to get rid of some stuff.

You can use the profits from a yard sale or even a listing online to buy more trendy and elegant items for your home.

Plus, you’ll be able to breathe much easier once you have a clutter-free space to come home to each day.

If you simply aren’t able to part with some of your beloved knick-knacks, then you may want to consider renting out a storage unit.

Add a Carpet

7. Add Color with a Carpet

If you want to make your home look luxurious, few things are more effective than a sprawling, fluffy carpet.

Plus, the right carpet or rug can also cover up old hardwood flooring or that eyesore of a linoleum floor in your dining area.

It’s a great way to highlight the more subtle colors in your home, and it can quickly tie a room together.

Just make sure you keep it clean — so institute a “shoes off” rule anywhere around the rug.

Try Crown Molding

8. Try Crown Molding

Last on our list of the best affordable home upgrades?

Try adding crown molding to your floors and ceilings. If you’re on the handy side, you may even be able to do this one on your own!

You can elect to go with a clean and simple molding design, or you can choose to accent the otherwise-plain look of your walls with a pop of color.

Once you’ve mastered the molding, also invest in new drawer pulls, doorknobs, and even switch plate covers to upgrade the hardware in your home.
