How to Decorate Your Home Like a Celebrity
While we want our home to show our individual and unique style, it’s normal to look to celebrity homes for inspiration. This is easier than ever to achieve with celebrities inviting us to see the inside of their homes thanks to social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Regardless of who that celebrity may be, you can decorate your home to look like theirs without the hefty price tag with these simple tips.
Incorporate the Latest Technologies
Nothing says celebrity home like an assortment of technology gadgets. Upgrading your washer and dryer? Consider one you can start before leaving work. As light bulbs burn out, replace them with smart light bulbs you can turn off and on from your smartphone. From TV streaming devices to virtual assistants like Alexa, make your home a technological experience for all to enjoy.
Bring in Unique, Quality Furniture
When celebrities are designing their homes, they don’t want their living space to look like a magazine cover or too much like their next-door neighbors’ houses. They want their home to stand out and show their unique style. Flea markets, Facebook marketplace, and antique stores are great places to find quality pieces of furniture your friends will be able to swoon over but not immediately copy.
Bring the Outside Inside With Plants
Plants are a great way to add some minimalism to your design while bringing the green of outside into any room in your home. Bring color into a room by incorporating succulents or a hanging plant. Add life and pleasant aromas to the kitchen with potted herbs. Plants like Areca Palms, Chinese Evergreens, and Gerbera Daisies not only add a decorative flair to your home but can also lower your risk of illness and make your air cleaner.
Don’t Dismiss Statement Pieces
Whether you are in love with glam, traditional or timeless style, stepping outside of your comfort zone with an eye-catching statement piece can embellishment your life and add the celebrity style you crave. Don’t be afraid to make a statement with pieces such as a living room rug, mirrors, chairs, cabinets, and more.
Add Some “Bling”
Chandeliers are one of the latest trends taking over home decor that A-List celebrities are taking notice of. While once simply used to provide lighting for large rooms, the chandeliers of today are used more for adding an aesthetic attribute to bedrooms, closets, dining rooms, and even bathrooms. Local antique shops, Lowe’s, and Home Depot are great places to find unique chandeliers to use as bling-worthy statement pieces that will rival any celebrity home at a fraction of the cost.
Consider a DIY Project
Eyeing a piece outside your budget and can’t quite find a less expensive alternative? Consider taking it on as a DIY project. While these will take more time and effort, they can result in a beautiful and unique piece others will love without emptying your wallet.
Making your home look and feel like your favorite celebrity’s space can be done without the celebrity budget using any of the tips suggested above.
