1. Clear All The Clutter

Nothing takes away from a high-end aesthetic as quickly as clutter. Piles of mail, collections of random knick-knacks, and stacks of books are all saboteurs of your goal to achieve a luxury look. So the first thing you need to do is make your way from room to room to get rid of all that clutter. You will be surprised how much of a difference it will make the clear the floors and surfaces of unnecessary messes.

2. Go Deep On Dingy Dirt & Grime

You may already have a stunning abode. However, if some of the best features are hiding behind some built-up dirt and grime, it will instantly feel less attractive. You may not have a lot of extra room in your schedule to do a regular deep-cleaning to reach beyond the dust bunnies on the surface. Therefore, you may want to help you keep up on the more intensive cleaning tasks like scrubbing tile or the windows.

3. Upgrade Or Increase Your Lighting

Lighting is another very simple element that can go a very long way to give your home a more luxurious appearance. Not only do you want to fill the house with a lot of light, but you want to make sure that you can have several options on the level of lighting and that the textures you choose say “luxury” too. Also, be sure to opt for bulbs with warmer tones.

4. Repaint

When in doubt, slap on a fresh coat of paint to give your home that luxe look. It is amazing how a new color can give a room a total makeover. Stay away from overly bright or bold colors like teal or fuschia. Instead, opt for the forever more classy and neutral colors that go with everything and help woo potential buyers to make an offer. While you are at it, consider giving your front door a makeover with a fresh coat too, or replacing it altogether.
