Often people spend considerable sums on repairs and visual design of the house. But the result is the effect of a "cheap" interior.
And some people manage to do a budget renovation and decorate each room themselves as if the best designer had worked there.
TOP 10 things that make an interior look cheap
10th place: walls made of porcelain stoneware
In recent years, walls made of natural stone and porcelain stoneware have become fashionable. This is a really effective and fresh solution, so many people want to implement it in their home. It is expensive, but as a result, it often cheapens the interior, as it looks out of place and often gaudy.
In order for a stone wall to really look expensive and prestigious, it must fit perfectly into the overall interior design concept and be suitable for a specific home. Only a very good designer can achieve this.
9th place: stucco
Stucco emphasizes status and wealth in a royal palace or a billionaire's villa. In a small cottage or apartment, it only speaks of the owner's lack of taste.
8th place: sofa
The sofa is the key element of the living room, so it should be stylish and high-quality. Do not skimp on the sofa. If you cannot afford a high-quality sofa, it is better to change the upholstery on the old one, choosing a good material.
7th place: headboard
Simply changing your headboard to a more modern one can make your interior look more expensive.
6th place: non-built-in furniture
Built-in furniture and appliances are not only convenient. This technique creates the effect of conciseness and neatness.
5th place: doors
Incorrectly selected doors can make even the most expensive repairs cheaper. While high-quality doors will make them look more expensive.
Note: sometimes it is not necessary to buy very expensive models. There are cases when it is enough to change the standard handles to more elegant and unusual ones.
4th place: wires and pipes
Wires, pipes, meters and other unattractive elements of communications can ruin the most expensive interior. Already at the stage of repair it is necessary to think about how to cover them.
3rd place: excessive brightness
Modern design is muted tones with bright accents. Abuse of colors in interior design will lead to it looking chaotic. Of course, if you are a fan of boho, glamor or boho-hippie style, then other rules apply here.
2nd place: fittings
Even expensive furniture models have standard fittings, which creates the effect of cheapness. If you are making custom furniture, choose stylish fittings. If you have budget furniture, you can simply change the fittings to more original and stylish ones. The interior will immediately be transformed.
1st place: windows
White PVC windows are a sign of a budget renovation. Windows in black or imitating wood look much more expensive and impressive. If you still have standard white windows, you can change the handle. However, make sure that the new one fits the mechanism. Also, some people simply repaint the white plastic in the color they need.
