Lux Tip: Little Accents Make a Big Difference

If you want to spice up a room that looks a little bland, little accents can make a big difference.

One thing I recommend is to add luxurious, elegant details. A personal favorite would be the doorknobs and drawer pulls available from Anthropologie. A doorknob or drawer pull is such an easy thing to switch out, and the designs available can really change the whole look of a room. Think about adding drawer pulls like this one to an all-white kitchen.

Curtain rods are relatively simple to upgrade, too. A surprising place to find an affordable, chic curtain rod? Home Depot.

Sew a bead or bauble onto a pillow, or even use an old brooch or pin to liven up the look of a curtain. Tiny accents can make a whole room sparkle, and the details will make it feel more like home.

It's just another easy way to make life more lux for cheap or free.

Higher wattage bulbs are just another way to make life more "lux" for cheap. Look it up.

lux

Seriously, it's getting embarassing.
