Day night beauty tips💡

today I'm going to be sharing with you ten decorating tips to make your home look more luxurious and expensive.

I just finished up an apartment makeover for my friend and his one request was make my home look expensive. And I think there's so many amazing, easy ways to accomplish that without breaking the bank.

So I'm sharing some of expensive tips with you today so that you can achieve that same look in.

window treatments

Because everyone has windows in their home, large or small, and window treatments can make or break your space. They can also be the thing that adds a luxurious touch and feel to a space instantly.

So one thing that I think you should consider doing to add this luxe feeling in your space is actually layering window treatments using more than one type of window treatment on one single window. 

You'll notice this done all the time in high end hotel design and high end residential design. As soon as you hang your drapes high and wide from your window, your space is going to look large and tall and it's going to frame out your window really nicely and add this soft, luxurious touch.But you may not want to be opening and closing your curtains every day for privacy.

Functional treatment window
So having this second treatment that's actually the more functional treatment on your window is going to work wonders. So these two different window treatments serve two different purposes, functionality and style.

So you can layer your curtains with roman shades, roller blinds, wood blinds. You could even layer them with a sheer drape so that you have light filtering and privacy, as well as maybe a blackout feature with a curtain.

I've done this in my living room because these windows are used every single day and I wanted functionality and design to be considered. I layered a light colored roller shade so that we can have privacy, but also light diffusion in here as well as heavy drapes that are hung really high to frame out the windows.

If I just had the roller shades, it would look a little bit bare. So layering the two really helps to create this luxe soft look. Now, one rug type that you'll notice in almost every high end design, large or small, is a good runner.

Runners are very overlooked and I think they make such an impact to small spaces like hallways, kitchens, bathrooms and entryways runners are an absolute must.

I get a lot of my gorgeous runners from Walmart because they have some of my favorite brands at such a great price.

How cute are these three runners?
I already know they're going to look.
Great in the house.
I also got my favorite carpet tape from Walmart. his is my favorite go to tape. I use it in every single makeover. Shopping at Walmart is so easy. 

I love that you can just shop online and get everything delivered to your door. They actually have some of my favorite brands, savive as well as laden rugs, which are my go to vintage style inspired rugs.

This is such a pretty rug. It's the La Loy winter printed rug in a two and a half by nine and a half length. I love the color and the pattern on this.

If you're going for a transitional design or vintage inspired design, Lalloi rugs like this are such a great price for the look that you're getting, so you get this authentic style in more of a modern, durable way.

This is super low profile, so it's great for a hallway like this. But if you're looking for an extremely soft, cozy rug, you need to check out this rug. I think I might get it even in a larger size for my family room because it's so soft.

This is Laloy's cloud pile technology. It's the softest rug I've ever felt. And this is the Margot antique sage color.

It's such a great rug. I highly recommend it. And lastly, I got this gorgeous jute rug. I love the mix of the jute fiber color as well as the cream ivory.

No matter where you put a rug down, make sure it's adhered to the floor so it's not a tripping hazard and it stays exactly where it should be.

I use this carpet tape every time I lay down a rug. It sticks to the bottom of your rug and the floor, so it really holds everything in place.

I've even used this on outdoor rugs, so I typically just tape down the corners and everything stays in place really well.

It's pretty much just a large double sided piece of tape that doesn't leave any residue behind and it hasn't ever damaged my floors or anything like that.

So it's the final step I always use when putting down a rug.

It's even great when you're layering rugs so that everything stays in place.

So Walmart is the place to find stylish, affordable pieces.

I love that they have two day shipping as well because when I have a decorating idea I want to get it done quickly.

If you're styling any flat surfaces around your home, always remember to stack your decor. This is such a designer trick and it goes a very long way.

Anyone can do it and it will instantly make your space look designer and luxurious even if you're using very affordable decor.

It's all about stacking two or more decor pieces and this is all about stacking things that are different sizes and different shapes.

I like to start with some kind of base which is usually stacked books or a tray, something large and wide that's going to hold your stacking arrangement.

You can then layer on top a candle and then maybe also have something on the side which could be beads. It could be your candle wick cutter, it could be.
