The standard plastic light switch plate is such a staple in the average home that it’s easy to forget you can change it. “Replacing your plastic cover with a decorative one can add a touch of interest to a room without making a big change,” says Angie Kreller, interior designer at Yabby.

Keller’s pick? These aged bronze light switch covers. “These would be great if you were going for a Victorian or Dark Academia-themed room,” she says. Choose from various styles to fit your light switch.

A little light can go a long way. These LED puck lights are inexpensive and convenient, offering a glow that makes a space feel more special. They’re very versatile, but look especially great underneath cabinets in the kitchen, Kreller says. “Under-cabinet lighting can add ambiance to the space and make it seem more expensive and luxurious,” she explains. As a bonus, these work with a remote control to make them even easier to turn on and off.

Kreller says adding a statement piece of art “can make the house look more expensive, because the bigger a piece of art is, the more bougie it can seem.” She’s a fan of this Matisse wall art set that includes three canvas prints. Available in three styles within the listing, the prints come with a hanging kit for easy setup.

Keller says adding a large mirror is another way to make a home look more expensive. “You can find really beautiful ornate pieces on Amazon, and no one would be able to tell!” she shares. This vintage-inspired mirror is a great example of that — it looks antique but costs under $100. Available with gold or silver trim, you can choose from two sizes within the listing.

To add ambiance to a room, Kreller suggests some budget-friendly wall sconces. This rechargeable sconce is an Amazon favorite with more than 6,000 positive ratings and comes with a sticky adhesive backing that makes it easy to install. The battery lasts up to 20 hours on a full charge and you can rotate the LED lamp 360 degrees to get the light exactly where you need it.

According to Kreller, an area rug like this one can add “texture, color, and coziness.” This option comes in a variety of sizes and a few different colors, so you can add it to a living room, entryway, bedroom, or somewhere else. The vintage-inspired pattern brings a touch of bougie style, and the back has a nonslip texture so it grips the floor. Plus, the rug is conveniently machine washable.

For a quick, easy upgrade, Dan Mazzarini, principal and creative director at ARCHIVE by Dan Mazzarini, suggests swapping out your bulbs and installing dimmers. “With a simple adjustment, you can create a warm mood or set the stage for a cozy movie night,” he says.

Offering warm white light, these 150-watt LED bulbs cast a glow without any flickering. They’re also designed to last about 13 years, saving on energy costs and bulb replacements over time.

Following Mazzarini’s suggestion, this plug-in dimmer can help you create a welcoming atmosphere that makes your home feel upscale. It works with floor lamps and table lamps, featuring a sliding control that allows you to dim the bulbs to add some ambiance. The dimmer comes in white or black to blend in with your decor.

This dimmable LED light strip is something that Anh Nguyen, interior design expert and founder of Print My Rugs, calls a favorite affordable luxury for the home. “You wouldn’t believe how it can transform even the most basic bathroom or powder room into a downright indulgent space,” Nguyen says, noting that he always recommends this specific touch control light strip. With a flexible, waterproof design, it’s easy to install on any mirror.

Before you replace old cabinets to make things more exciting, try simply swapping out the hardware, which Nguyen calls a “transformative yet budget-friendly upgrade” that he uses with a lot of clients. “It's amazing what an impact new knobs and pulls can make,” he says, noting that brushed nickel pulls like these are his current go-to. “It has this beautiful modern yet timeless quality that works with virtually any style.”

Wall art is almost always a great way to elevate a space, but opting for something unique takes it up a notch. “I always recommend modern minimalist metal line sculptures, like the Vivegate female body line art set,” Nguyen says. “These abstract female form pieces have been hugely popular lately for achieving that coveted sophisticated, curated look on a budget.” This set of three frames is made from durable iron with built-in holes for easy hanging, and you can choose from black or gold finishes.

“A faux fur throw blanket is a great way to make any room feel cozy and stylish,” says Giovanni Scippo, director at 3D Lines, a company specializing in architectural visualization services. “Its soft feel and chic look make it perfect for adding a comfy touch to your couch or bed.”

Available in eight colors, this faux fur throw blanket features plush material on both sides and is great for snuggling up during a movie, but it also looks nice on its own. Measuring 50 by 65 inches and costing under $30, you’ll get a lot of blanket for your buck.

Made of soft and luxurious faux fur, this decorative rug is another easy way to add coziness and style. It’s available in several different sizes and colors, and looks great on the floor, over a rug, or even draped over a couch or chair. It’s machine washable for easy cleaning and has a nonslip suede leather bottom so it stays in place on the floor.

Scippo recommends marble coasters as an elegant way to protect your tables from drink rings, saying, “Their natural patterns and durability make them timeless for your home, giving your dining experience a little boost.” Made from 100% natural travertine marble, this arched coaster set lends a bougie vibe to your table. Each one has nonslip pads on the bottom and rinses clean easily with a little water.

Bring a touch of luxury to your bathroom with a velvet bath mat, suggests Scippo. This plush bath rug is made from cloud-like memory foam for softness with each step. Not only is it available in over a dozen colors such as gray, lavender, and royal blue, but it’s also machine-washable and dryer-safe for easy cleaning.

These checkered kitchen towels don’t just look nice — they’re crafted from 100% cotton terrycloth that Scippo recommends for being super absorbent. The quick-drying material is great for drying dishes and cleaning up spills, and the towels are easily laundered in the washer and dryer. Choose from several colors including neutrals and bright hues.

Replace some (or all) of the light bulbs in your home with these smart light bulbs. Not only will they make you feel like you’re living in the future, but as Scippo points out, they’re incredibly convenient and energy-efficient. “You can control them from your phone and adjust the brightness and color to set the perfect mood while saving on energy costs,” he says. These also offer a schedule, timer, and hands-free voice control with devices like the Amazon Echo or Google Home. What’s not to love?

“Switching out old throw pillow covers for new ones with luxurious textures and patterns can instantly elevate the look of your living room or bedroom,” advises Natane Boudreau, founder of Studio Boudreau. These velvet throw pillow covers have a soft and luxe feel and boast nearly 70,000 positive ratings. You can choose between a huge variety of colors, from muted jewel tones to bold shades, and they’re machine washable.

“Replacing standard wall hooks with decorative ones can add a stylish touch to entryways, bathrooms, and closets,” Boudreau says. These wooden wall hooks are inexpensive, versatile, and can hold up to 35 pounds each. This makes them great for items like hats, bags, coats, towels, and more, and they’re available in several wood finishes to lend a farmhouse chic touch to your decor.

“A beautifully designed soap dispenser can make a bathroom or kitchen feel more upscale without a hefty price tag,” Boudreau notes. This glass soap dispenser set fits the bill, with a chic look overall. It comes with two functional dispenser bottles and corresponding glasses, a set of labels (both pre-written and blank), and a silicone funnel to make transfer easy. These offer a cohesive look that is especially great in a minimalist space.

Sheer curtains make a room seem more spacious and elegant, according to Boudreau. They “are a fantastic way to soften a room and add a light, airy feel without blocking natural light,” she says.

With thousands of positive ratings and a price tag of less than $15, these sheer curtains seem almost too good to be true. Made from lightweight and breathable polyester, they’re available in a wide range of colors and sizes to suit your space.

“Floating shelves are not only practical for extra storage but also perfect for displaying decor, books, or indoor plants, adding character to any wall,” says Boudreau. She recommends these geometric floating shelves as a unique option, calling them “stylish and functional,” and noting they are “an ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their home decor on a budget.” They’re available in four finishes and mounting hardware is included.

Thinking of giving your interiors a fresh paint job? Pam Hutter, principal of Hutter Architects, recommends choosing a paint low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) because “it’s nontoxic and healthier for your home.”

This low-VOC paint is virtually odorless, comes in 26 colors, and is a paint and primer in one so you can use fewer coats. “For a quick refresh, choose a shade slightly darker or lighter than your existing color,” Hutter suggests.

For an extra cozy feel, Hutter likes using textured wallpaper on an accent wall. Available in colors such as cream, teal, and gray, this linen wallpaper is easy to put up and remove thanks to the peel-and-stick adhesive lining. The grid on the back makes it a breeze to measure and cut, and it’s also waterproof so you can use it in the bathroom or kitchen. One reviewer noted they’ve also used it in cabinet shelves, saying, “It looks great and is easy to install.”

“As an architect, I always recommend updating lighting,” Hutter says. “Swapping out outdated fixtures for LED bulbs or fixtures will make a space brighter and more modern.”

This semi-flush ceiling light is surprisingly versatile, with an industrial feel that works with a lot of decor. It’s easy to install and is great for lower ceilings since it doesn’t hang and won’t get in your way. Choose from finishes such as black, brass, and more.

Hutter recommends getting a low-maintenance houseplant to improve a room’s look and feel. “Snake plants, pothos, succulents, and orchids are great options. Not only do they boost your mood, they also purify the air,” she says.

This snake plant is easy to care for, great for small spaces, and comes in a planter that’s available in several styles. No wonder it’s a fan favorite on Amazon with more than 11,000 five-star ratings.

If even a low-maintenance plant sounds like too much work, try these artificial potted succulents to give your room a pop of color. This set of three is available in a few different styles (some come with tiny twinkling lights inside) and they can be used as decorative accents throughout your home.

Hutter says a jute rug “adds warmth,” and this one does exactly that, with a neutral shade that works with almost any decor. Made of 100% natural jute, this braided rug is durable for high-traffic areas. It’s also reversible, so you can simply flip it over to prolong its life.

Need more storage options? Hutter recommends baskets as a stylish way to store odds and ends. This large woven basket is made of durable cotton and polyester with two handles for easy carrying. With color options such as glaze (featured here), two-tone beige, gray, and more, it’s a sneakily chic way to hide clutter.

Featuring a glossy finish, this peel-and-stick faux marble wallpaper is a sophisticated way to update a variety of surfaces. “We recently used white marble contact paper to give a powder room a stone-look accent wall,” says Nick Chatzigeorgakis, owner of Intrabuild. “The removable, self-adhesive paper provides the veiny marble look for a fraction of the cost of real stone.” In fact, this easy-to-use option will cost you less than $10.

To add depth to your space, Chatzigeorgakis recommends applying a navy or forest green paint for a “dark, moody” accent wall that will “act as an eye-catching focal point.” This option from Glidden is a paint and primer in one and comes in a range of dark blue shades. The eggshell finish is suitable for any interior wall, and the formula is low-VOC with minimal odors.

For an easy way to add ambiance, Chatzigeorgakis recommends installing dimmable pendant lights like these over a kitchen island or bar area. They have a 15-foot chandelier suspension cord that you can adjust to your desired length, and the power plug means no hard wiring is required. Plus, the shade’s natural linen fabric creates a soft glow and complements any decor.

“When it comes to luxe decor, the price tag doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with it,” says Amber Shay, national design director at Meritage Homes. “It’s all about finding pieces that help you feel great about your space.” She recommends looking for upscale, hotel-style bedding — and this three-piece comforter set fits the bill.

Made from soft, breathable polyester, the comforter comes in colors including beige, ivory, and oatmeal, creating a look you might see in a five-star hotel. Two matching pillowcases are included and the set is machine-washable and dryer-safe.

Shay also recommends adding monogrammed towels to your bathroom to help create a more luxurious atmosphere. And while personalized items can be pricey, these chic hand towels are an exception. They’re made of 100% Turkish cotton that’s soft, absorbent, and durable. Choose from black, gray, navy, and white color options to complement your bathroom decor.

Tossing some cozy throw pillows onto your couch is another way to add luxe-looking decor without spending a lot, according to Shay. These textured throw pillow covers mean you don’t have to toss your old pillows (these can go over them easily) and they have a pleasantly soft look and feel. They’re available in an array of sizes and colors, from a multipack of neutral shades to matching sets in bold hues.

A stylish mirror is another must for elevating your space, Shay says. This full-length mirror is a beautiful choice at a budget-friendly price point. Plus, reviewers say it’s lightweight and “the perfect size.” The aluminum alloy frame comes in gold or black, and you can choose to prop it against the wall or use the included hardware to hang it.

To add natural-looking texture to the room, Shay recommends using “grass clippings, tree branches, and wildflowers to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind arrangements that can be used as accent pieces.” If you want an arrangement that will never wilt, these artificial wildflowers require zero maintenance and come in a range of pretty colors. You can snip them apart and mix and match them with other faux flowers for a customized bouquet that doesn’t feel fussy.

Instead of simply purchasing a bouquet of artificial wildflowers and putting them in a vase, Shay’s tip is to make them your own by adding other plants. This dried pampas grass would look beautiful combined with some faux flowers and also looks great as an accent piece on its own. Reviewers rave that these are “great quality” and fluff up nicely with a soft feel.

You’ll need a place to put those artificial (or real) flowers and plants, and these stylish ceramic vases are an excellent choice. They’re durable, thick, and pleasantly heavyweight, with a modern look that is still pretty versatile. Available in ivory and black, the set includes vases in two sizes.

Bathrooms don’t have to lack warm style — make that space look just as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of your home. “Turn your bathroom into a sanctuary with vintage rugs, art, and soft decor,” Shay says.

This vintage-inspired rug is eclectic but also functional: it’s machine washable for easy cleaning, with a nonslip bottom that stays in place even when it’s damp. What’s more, the low-pile surface feels soft on your feet and won’t get stuck under the bathroom door.

Following Shay’s recommendation to add soft decor to the bathroom, this wall art set features an abstract minimalist design in soothing colors. Each piece of art is made with waterproof oil canvas and mounted on a wooden frame, so they can withstand a humid bathroom environment. Picture nails are included for easy hanging.

Make your bathroom feel more bougie with this pearlescent soap dish. Its mother-of-pearl finish creates a subtle shimmer, it has a deep dish design meant to hold most bars of soap, and the smooth interior is easy to clean. There are also matching accessories you can purchase with this, like a tissue box, lotion dispenser, and toothbrush holder.

Shay recommends making your bathroom feel more like “a place of respite” rather than just a, well, bathroom. These flameless candles are one way to do that. Offering the same soft, soothing glow as a candle but with a lot more convenience, they come with a remote control that has a timer setting. Use them in the bathroom or any other room in your house.

For another bougie bathroom update that follows Shay’s advice, swap out your old shower curtain with this textured shower curtain. It’s made of wrinkle-free fabric with a tufted chevron pattern and fun fringe along the bottom. The curtain comes in various sizes and colors and is machine washable for easy cleaning.

This ladder rack is another way to follow Shay’s advice and make your bathroom more welcoming. It’s made from metal for an industrial chic look and comes with nonslip pads for stability. Install it on the wall with the included hardware and use it to keep towels within easy reach.

Sumptuous pillows that feel like you’re snuggling with a cloud can make your home seem lavish. Candace Blaney, owner of CHB Interiors, recommends this down alternative pillow insert, which she says feels comfortable and high quality. “It’s perfect for achieving that luxurious, plush look that down offers with a lower price tag and without any of the allergens,” she says. Another tip: “Use an insert that is 2 inches larger than the pillow cover you are filling for a nice, full look.”

This picture light brings gallery vibes to any artwork in your home. “Perfect for art lovers or those just looking to elevate the ambiance of their space, this light offers a luxe look without the hefty price tag,” Blaney says. The USB-rechargeable battery lasts up to 10 hours on a full charge, and the light comes with a remote control so it is super easy to use.

Elevating your space doesn’t always mean spending a lot on big purchases. As Janelle Patton, lead designer of Lark Interiors in Dallas, Texas, notes, paying attention to the little details makes a big difference. For example, she says, “If you have a candle out, place a cute match cloche next to it.”

Patton is a fan of this match cloche, which is made from apothecary glass. It comes with 3-inch matches and has a replaceable striker strip that makes lighting them a breeze.

To take Patton’s advice even further, you can place your candle and match cloche on this cloud-shaped ceramic tray. Its pearly white color will look nice in any room, and it’s scratch-resistant and easy to wipe clean as needed. You can also use it to store jewelry and other small trinkets, with the raised edges keeping items in place.

Patton says that paying attention to the little details can make a big difference in the overall aesthetic of your home, and bookends are a good example of that. These marble bookends are more than just decorative; the pair weighs 9 pounds, making them heavy-duty enough to hold up even your largest books. They’re made of solid marble with a gold metallic accent for a little extra bling.
