Budget Room Glow-Up: Under-$100 Decor That Looks Luxe
When looking into a person’s room, you can tell their likes and interests with just a quick glance. Since their space is something that they can call home, it can be a very interesting thing to see what kind of room decor they have chosen. But sometimes, when trying to look for items that can make your room feel like yours, the price for simple things can be excessive. Here are a few suggestions that can help make your space feel more like a luxury without breaking the bank.
1. Pillows
Pillows can really be used to transform the look and feel of your space. Adding a touch of luxury through strategic layering, material choices, and thoughtful styling. For example:
- Layering: You can layer large, solid-colored pillows with smaller, decorative pillows that create a rich, hotel-inspired look.
- Color and Patterns: having rich colors (like emerald green, navy blue, or burgundy), subtle patterns, and bold statements.
- Coordinated Look: Make sure that your pillow colors and patterns complement the rest of your room's decor, including your rug, drapes, and other accessories.

2. Storage
Having clutter in your room can make it look messy and, honestly, really sloppy. A way to make your room look high-end is to make sure that you clean up your clutter. You can do this by having different kinds of storage throughout your room. You can do this by having:
- Storage bags: Not only does this look chic, but it can help remove unwanted items from your bedroom without being an eyesore.
- Having a matching laundry basket: while we all have clothing that gets dirty, having a laundry basket that matches the rest of your storage items can help tie the room together and create a cohesive look.
- Clothing hooks: These can be placed on the inside of your closet and provide a way to hang up purses or everyday sweaters without them being on display.

3. Mirrors
While simple, having a mirror that matches your aesthetic can not only make your space feel more open but can also emphasize a cohesive look. Mirrors can:
- Make your room feel bigger, which is a plus if you have a darker color on your walls.
- Mirrors brighten a room and create a more vibrant and inviting ambiance, since they reflect natural and artificial light.
- Mirrors create depth and add texture to a room's décor, making it appear more layered and interesting.
Choosing mirrors with an interesting or unique frame will add visual interest and can reflect the beauty of the surrounding décor.

4. Towels
While often forgotten about, towels can help connect your bedroom and your bathroom. Since many of us dream of having a spa at home, here’s how to achieve that:
- Color and Coordination: Coordinated towel sets in rich, neutral, or elegant colors (like white, beige, or deep navy) contribute to a clean and sophisticated aesthetic.
- Thickness and Weight: Thick, heavy towels give a sense of luxury and comfort, similar to what you’d find in high-end hotels or spas.
- Presentation: Neatly folded or rolled towels, stacked in open shelving or displayed on towel ladders, create a spa-like ambiance.
You can also have a matching set of both towels and a robe. This will make you feel like you in a five star hotel.
