There are some designers' tips and tricks you can easily use to make your room look like a five-star hotel in the center of a metropolis. One of them is well-known from small spaces: mirrors. We know that mirrors can make a small room look bigger but they work well in bigger rooms too. And in a bigger room you need bigger mirrors: Use plenty of them, all the way up to the ceiling and cover the whole wall with them. It's easy and fast and the end result will be stunning.
Then, there is art. Every wall and every room looks much better with a piece of art in it, and we can use that to make our rooms look glorious. To achieve an upscale look and to avoid cluttering, go for big pieces. One large modern picture or three-part painting that stretches along the wall will give your room an ultramodern, luxury look. You can experiment with motifs and colors, just stay with big, bold pieces and you'll make it right.
Now, what you can see in every luxury room? A luxury rug. Wooden floor may look good, some rug on top of it too, but if you want a luxury feel your should get a rich, thick rug that will cover the major part of the floor. You can choose to stay in style and take something that follows the room's design in colors, but you also may go other way and choose something greyish to tone down the look. Whichever approach you take, a big, warm rug will lift your room to another level.
You can also do miracles with lighting. And what's more, you can do that in any room in your home. Take for example your kitchen. It may be new, old, modern or rustic, if you put a big, bold light above the island or in the center, the whole picture will be totally different. Suddenly, your kitchen will be transformed into a wow space where all eyes will be looking at the element that makes it look like you hired the best designer available. Be bold, and your space will be bold. ■
