10 Ways To Give Your Home a High-End Look

June 2, 2015

I took the design style quiz over on the decorist.com website and by golly I think they defined my style to T!

Here’s what it said…

You… like eclectic styles at heart with an eye towards integrating more modern looks.

You prefer to mix and match different styles rather than be totally traditional or modern, but you like to use the clean looks of more modern pieces. You love figuring out how to combine different designs into one cohesive whole.

YOU …

want your home to be stylish and that is a reflection of you and your overall tastes.
like a rustic or natural but refined look to your home.
like ethnic accents and a “worldly” look.
like warm colors.
like bright pops of color or colorful accents.
like luxurious materials.
like to use texture for visual interest.
like to use some traditional gilded or wood accents in your home to give it a sense of timelessness
like the look of natural materials in your home

The one thing the quiz failed to pick up on is that I love décor with a high-end look.

When it comes to decorating, I love to mix of budget finds with investment pieces, vintage finds with new pieces, and refined looks with rustic styles. I don’t think your house has to be filled with expensive décor and furniture to have style, but I do believe there are easy and cost-effective things you can do to give your décor the look of high style .
