#5 Flowers
Freshen It up With Flowers
Fresh flowers can instantly lift the mood of a room; the bigger the bouquet, the more luxurious the look.
Make sure any bouquets you display are not sparse, but rather full and lush.

First, separate the bouquet by stem type then create several small arrangements to spread around your home. The time is minimal, but the impact on your home is monumental.

#6 Bedroom
Make your Bedroom Look More Luxurious
Incorporate a rug. Adding texture and warmth to your bedroom is one of the easiest ways to boost its style factor. Whether you're partial to florals or understated designs, like jute, a chic rug can pull your bedroom together in an instant.
Display art. Show off your style with a statement piece of artwork, whether it's a sculpture, photograph, or colorful painting. While it can certainly be displayed on a wall, leaning your favourite piece against a wall can be just as powerful.
Overfill your throw pillows. There's something so luxurious about plush, overfilled throw pillows, which go a long way in transforming your bedroom from "everyday" to a bonafide retreat that emulates the most sumptuous of hotels.
Add a hanging light fixture. The boob lights have got to go. Replace them with a statement-making hanging light or a glamorous chandelier.
Rethink your nightstand.Hide some things away in a drawer; display small items in a beautiful tray.
Focus on the statement pieces. A dark wood bed frame; a gorgeous gilded dresser; a velvet armchair each bedroom has its own centerpiece, but make sure it's the room's focus. Don't clutter the room with too much furniture, instead letting each piece stand on its own.
Keep the floor empty.: A cluttered bedroom never looks luxurious, so keep the floor clean and orderly that means no stacks of books and piles of extension cords, either.
Reorganize your vanity. A cluttered vanity can make your whole bedroom look messy. Now's a good time to buy some makeup organizers

Add Some Wall Art
Art doesn't have to cost a fortune.

Use Green Throughout Your Space

#13 Pillows
Comfort & Elegance
Pillows throughout your home serve two purposes.

Two, they provide your guests with a little extra comfort on the couch and offer a cozy, layered feeling to your rooms.
The comfort aspect speaks for itself, that is if you choose pillows that are large enough to rest on, and soft.
