However, with a few smart, budget-friendly tricks, you can transform your home into a dreamy sanctuary.

Bedroom

Change your bedding: Ditch the over-the-top florals and opt for neutral colours like crisp white, soft grey, or soothing beige instead. Add some plush throw pillows and a textured blanket at the foot of the bed.

Curtain call: Ditch those flimsy curtains. Floor-length curtains hung high above the window frame will make your ceilings appear taller and give a more elegant, tailored look. Opt for natural fabrics like linen or cotton blends.

Lighting is key: Harsh overhead lighting is a no-no. Instead, layer your lighting. Add bedside lamps with warm-toned bulbs for a cosy glow.

Declutter your dressing table: Clear off surfaces and only keep a few meaningful decorative items.
