- You can achieve a luxurious look without a high-end designer
or a big budget by being your own interior designer.
- Incorporate a sculptural light fixture like a chandelier or
pendant light in a stairwell to add visual interest and a touch of
luxury.
- Use practical design solutions like floor tiles instead of
traditional rugs for easier maintenance and longevity, especially
in high-traffic areas or homes with children and pets.
