- 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.
