Even if your living space isn't very big, that doesn't mean it can't also be very nice. In fact, it's easy to make any room look more lavish with just only a few simple additions (or removals), and many of these tips cost very little money (if any). Take a look at these ways to make your small home feel more luxurious, and you'll see what we mean.

De- Clutter

Declutter No matter how big your home is, if you have a lot of furniture and other things in it, it will look smaller and more crowded, which is not a sign of luxury at all. This is why getting rid of stuff is a great idea. Once you've gotten rid of everything you don't need (you can store it, give it to charity, or have a car boot sale, if you'd like), you can move your furniture around, which can also make a room bigger. Sometimes bigger things are placed in a way that makes it hard to move around, but if there are fewer things around, you might be able to move them to make more room.

Add Plants

Plants always give your home a touch of class. That splash of lush green always looks and feels good, and it can make a big difference in how you feel about your living space and how other people see it. You'll have to take care of these plants because ones that are dead or dying don't look good at all. If you don't know much about plants, choose something that doesn't need much care (you'll still need to water it occasionally and put it in the best place for it to grow). Plants not only look nice, but science has shown that they are good for your health and help clean the air.

Make the most of your space

To maximise the amount of space you have, you need to think carefully about how to use it. If you have the correct tools and equipment, a tiny kitchen doesn't have to be an issue at all. If you have a tiny stove (or if your kitchen is so small that you can't fit a burner in), an electric skillet is great. It might surprise you just how much you can fit into your kitchen; high quality stoves don’t have to be huge and might add that touch of luxury you’re looking for. Go through each area one at a time, determining what you absolutely need and what you just want. The remainder of the list can be worked on, presuming there is room remaining after you have put in everything you need. If you're willing to make a few concessions, your house will look its best.

Use Of Light

Light Is Important 

A dark home will never look as warm and expensive as one that is light, bright, and airy. So, you should try to find ways to let as much natural light into your apartment or house as possible. You might want to put in a skylight or change the wooden doors to glass ones, for example. You can make windows brighter by painting the edges white instead of a darker colour. This won't let in more light, but it will reflect the light that does come in instead of letting it go to waste. Putting mirrors in key places will also help.
