You don’t need a massive budget to make your home look expensive—you just need the right pieces. These five must-have items will instantly elevate your space without a complete overhaul.

1. Oversized Art

Instead of multiple small prints, opt for one large-scale framed piece to create a statement. This Studio McGee framed print (check it out here) is an easy way to add luxury without the custom price tag.

2. Statement Lighting

Table lamps and floor lamps are the secret to a cozy, well-lit space. Swap out basic lamps for designer-looking options like this ceramic lamp (this one is a favorite).

3. Layered Rugs

Instead of one rug, layer a jute rug underneath a patterned option for depth. This Studio McGee jute rug (love this one) is the perfect base layer.

4. Decorative Objects with a Story

Every well-designed home has unique objects that feel personal and curated. This can be anything from an antique vase to a sculptural bowl. Try this modern decorative bowl (such a great find) to add character to your coffee table.

5. High-Quality Textiles

Swapping out old throw blankets and curtains for high-quality linen or wool versions instantly makes a space feel more expensive. This Studio McGee throw blanket (obsessed with this) is a great example.
