Buying a home—any home—increasingly requires a small fortune and a tolerance for high interest rates, and renting is no less bleak, with prices skyrocketing across the country. So if you currently have a roof over your head, congratulations! It’s an achievement, even if it’s not fancy.

10 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME LOOK EXPENSIVE | DESIGN HACKS

But what if you want luxury? Maybe you’re tired of buying everything that’s “construction grade” (although not all “construction grade” stuff is worth changing). Maybe you just want a sense of pride when people come over to your home. If you want a home that looks fancy without having to work a second job and buy fancy materials, you have a lot of options. Here are 11 ways to make your home look expensive without spending a ton of money.

The first step to making your home seem more expensive and luxurious is to declutter and organize everything. A tidy home has been shown to be a more valuable asset overall (tidy homes are worth an average of $3,700 more), and rooms with clean lines and no clutter can give even the most modest space a more minimalist, purposeful look that feels more upscale.

Do you have a set of fairly standard, cheap garage doors? You can make them look a lot more expensive and fancy for about $20-30 with a few simple handle and hinge magnets. These simply snap into place and instantly transform your cheap garage door into a much more expensive Carriage House look. You can see the effect in this video and it’s pretty dramatic.
