Everyone loves to have a beautiful and good looking house, this adds to the serenity and comfort of dwelling in the house.

1.Portable Room Dividers: A portable room divider is an easy and very cost-effective way to make sure that you add privacy to a small room. It comes in a variety of colors, is durable and looks great. I have seen many people add them to a big, independent room too just to brighten the room. You can check some excellent portable room dividers here.

2. Pile on pillows: Try to imagine yourself entering a house that has a plain couch and a centre table and compare yourself entering the same house with a couch that has these small pillows arranged on the couch, wouldn’t the second option appeal to you? One should definitely opt for a pile on pillows and it is recommended that you have 20″ pillow covers with 24″ inserts in them to give them a feeling of fullness and buoyancy, ensure that they are rich in colours and textures. You can also check for a good mattress while you are checking out the pillows.

3.Bathroom/Kitchen fittings: Standard houses come with builder supplied fittings but to give your kitchen and bathroom that added look, it is advisable to change the faucets, these days good faucets are easily available in the market, another area one should look is the door handles, they should appear bright and polished as these stand out against the doors. You could also spice up the bathroom with steel towel holders, soap dispensers and bathroom curtains.

4.Lighting: Most often than not this is one area where much attention is not given. Chandeliers are now considered old fashioned, instead one can look at hardware stores or scour flea markets for designer lights, LED lighting is the latest in-home lighting, not only are they cost effective but they are cheaper too and consume much less energy while emitting more light and brightness, they add to the character and style. Ceiling fans are another great option to look at to make your home attractive.

5.Flowers: Have your living room dotted with pots of fresh flowers and plants, these enhance greatly the overall appearance of the living rooms. If one is using fake plants and flowers in the room the general thumb rule is that they should be binned after every 2 years as these tend to get faded, worn out and dusty. Keeping fresh plants and flowers though is a bit expensive as they need to be replaced every 3 days and require frequent care, they surely add to the beauty of the room.

6.Crown molding: These days many of the houses do come with ceiling crown molding as they are done by the builder; however, it pays to look around and see if the living rooms, bedrooms, do have crown molding on the ceiling, it is advisable to have the trims wide and they add richness and aesthetic value to the rooms.

Hopefully the above 6 small tips which would cost you a minimal amount of money, are worth every penny spent as it will give you the feel-good factor, but the most important of all is to declutter the house be it the living room, kitchen, bathrooms as any or all of the above tips will only ruin the effort of making your home look great.
