There may be some pieces that may require a little buffing or a new paint job, but the finished look will give the feel of a million dollars for just a few bucks. Different light sources, including table lamps and floor lamps, throughout the home enhance the elegant feeling.
Window Treatments
Window treatments are budget-friendly and add elegance to your home and much-needed privacy. Without that, it looks unfinished and empty. Choose elegant materials such as natural silk, linen, and cotton (polyester or man-made fabrics usually look dull).

You can get elegant and more affordable pieces elsewhere, such as at flea markets, antique shops, and smaller hardware stores. You can find drawer knobs and pulls that are lavish at a more affordable rate while giving your home the refined and unique look you desire.
