How to Add a Touch of Luxury to Your Cozy Home
Have you ever wondered how to add some luxury to your home, without ruining your budget?
Let’s say you love your home. It’s warm and cozy, and, for the most part, it’s just the kind of place you want to be every day. It’s got everything you need, and it’s your own creative space to do whatever you want with.
And yet, even a cozy home can start to feel a little stale, and you might want to add a just a little touch of luxury, here and there, for comfort and appeal.
Don’t worry, it’s actually quite easy to do this. To add a little luxury to your home, you don’t have to go wild with any renovation projects. With a few small changes here and there, you’ll feel like you’re living in an upgraded, more comfortable space.
Here are some budget friendly changes that will give your cozy home a fresh and luxurious feel.
Make Good Use of Upholstering
Upholstering is a good way to make old furniture look new and usable again, but it’s also a good way to add a touch of luxury to your space, without breaking the bank or going over the top. Choose your fabric right, choose your purpose, and then get to know the ins and outs of upholstery if you want to try it yourself – it’s not as hard as you might think!
Remember, when you’re trying to pick out a luxurious fabric, make sure it comes in both the right color and the right texture. There is really no right or wrong; just choose a fabric that conveys luxury to you.
Install a Lighting Statement Piece
Statement pieces are common in luxury interiors, and usually, they act as a centerpiece of a room. But as most homes probably don’t have space for an indoor fountain or a huge three piece sofa set, you’re going to have to think a little more creatively here. It might be best to drape your luxury statement piece from the ceiling, with luxury lighting.
Installing some luxury lighting features, like a Murano Glass Chandelier means you’ll have light bouncing all over your walls, usually in different colors, leaving your space covered in a rainbow. Luxurious!
Repaint Your Walls
It sounds obvious, but just adding a new coat of paint to your walls is a luxury home upgrade. Some colors can convey fun, some can convey peace, and some can convey luxury. Something light grey or an off-white are two popular choices that can feel sleek and luxurious, but deep colors, like navy, are dramatic and luxurious, too.
Your home is cozy and comfy, but could it be luxurious as well? Of course it could!

Repainting the walls in my home is on my list – a bright, light gray. I know it's going to just brighten it up, and make it more fresh and crisp and I can't wait!
Aside from upholstering, I bought some new matching covers for my sofa and recliner off Amazon to give them a new look and so they match. They aren't great, but a good, easy alternative for now.
