It’s easy to make a small space like a bathroom look good, if you know exactly how to do it. Designers swear by numerous tricks that make bathrooms look bigger, cleaner, more open than crammed, and turn them into living spaces rather than simply: shower and get out. So how do they do it? With the help of high-end bath furnishings brand: WETSTYLE, I’ll be sharing some tricks I’ve used for years in making bathrooms look there best:

1. A Floating Vanity

What’s a better way to make your space look bigger than with a floating vanity? These vanities are easy to clean around since they don’t connect all the way to the floor. They also make your space look sleek, airy, and more modern. This 30” Element Vanity from WETSTYLE is not only gorgeous but it also features a larger sink area that is modern and spacious. This store features tons of bathroom products that I simply love.

2. Top to Bottom Marble

Marble has always been thought as luxurious and expensive. In bathroom decorating, this trend it going stronger than ever and designers are using it all over the bathroom from top to bottom. This designer used a combination of a small marble mosaic trim, marble subway tiles, and then a beehive marble floor. To stick to the marble trend and tie the whole look together, they inserted a marble vanity with exposed chrome pipes and a light grey wallpaper. Simply beautiful!

3. Bring on the Mirror Tiles!

If you still don’t know, making a mirrored feature wall is an old trick to make a space look double the size. It may be a pain to clean, but at Better Decorating Bible we can’t resist but sacrificing practicality for style! A mirrored feature wall in the bathroom looks AMAZING and so chic! I just love this look, especially when the tiles are arranged in a diamond shaped pattern. You can easily do this look at home: simply go to your local glassware shop and tell them to cut out mirrors in your desired size. Stick them on with mirror adhesive and viola – a bathroom that looks 2x the size!

4. Dress Up Your Bathtub

There are tons of ways to make your bathtub stand and turn it into the focal point of your bathroom. A pretty curtain, a chandelier propped right above your bathtub, or simply choosing a glamorous enough bathtub to stand on it’s own can make your bathroom look glamorously decorated. This cloud bathtub with a base from WETSTYLE looks as if it has a built-in molding trim circling all around the tub. With a pretty bathtub like this, you really don’t need to do too much dressing up.

Bring color, life, and energy to your fireplace by hanging up an amazing piece of art work loaded with color. This oh-so-hollywood pop art Marilyn Monroe piece is just as stunning as the crystal chandelier hung above. And what a statement it makes!

There are tons of DIY projects online where you can remake an old fireplace into a fun, crafty looking working of art. This designer turned to floral dessert plates to make this dining room fireplace mesmerizing and colorful.

Group Candles on the Mantel

A collection of candles and candle holders of all sizes scattered on the mantel is romantic and charming way to create some ambience in your space. This works best with a fireplace that has a mantel or a shelf above to hold all the candles. If you are shopping for a new fireplace at the moment, then I would definitely advise visiting a showroom like Burning Inspirations, a 4500 square foot showroom filled with gorgeous fireplaces.

Show Off Your Greenery

If you are an avid gardener or have a big love for plants, show them off by arranging them all around your fireplace! Big pots on top, around, and even inside will show off all your efforts in the spot light.

Promote Light in a Dark Space

If your living room is looking a little glum, hang a mirror above your fireplace to promote natural sunlight throughout your space. Hanging a chandelier in your living room will make you space look even more brighter – once you turn it on, light will reflect off your mirror and light up your room! It’s also a great decor idea if you really have no clue what to place in the empty space over your fireplace.

Go to the Wild Side

Fauxidermy has been a staple in decorating magazines all year long, so if you want to spice up your fireplace without the guilt consider fauxidermy. Fauxidermy is artificial taxidermy, that gives you the same classical look without harming innocent animals. Definitely one of my favorite trends this year!

Glam on a Budget – Here’s How to Decorate Your Home Luxuriously on the Cheap! https://betterdecoratingbible.com/2015/01/20/glam-on-a-budget-heres-how-to-decorate-your-home-luxuriously-on-the-cheap/ https://betterdecoratingbible.com/2015/01/20/glam-on-a-budget-heres-how-to-decorate-your-home-luxuriously-on-the-cheap/#respond Tue, 20 Jan 2015 16:51:35 +0000 http://betterdecoratingbible.com/?p=9136 living room scalambre cushions couch better decorating bible blog ideas persian rug throw sunburst mirror

Achieving a luxurious, high-end look at home can be easily done a budget – there are really no secrets! Being a mastermind of budget-chic, I’m here to share a few of my tried and true techniques that can easily turnaround a tacky looking home into a high-glam model home!

Frame Expensive Wallpaper

Love the look of that bedazzling velvet damask wallpaper? Covering a whole wall in something pricey will set you back hundreds of dollars, so purchase a small roll and frame it with a thin wall molding! This is a easy way to get a high-end look without having to splurge on ceiling to floor wallpaper.

Cover a Wall with Mirror Tiles

Not only do they make your space look twice as big, mirror tiles are also a great way to lighten up a dark room. Choose a section of your room and cover it in mirror tiles. For example, over your fireplace or behind your bed frame are popular ways of doing this trend. Even in the entrance, mirror tiles are a smart way to bring in more natural light and bounce it around your whole hallway! To make it look even better Google some tutorials for aging mirrors – this gives them an expensive antique effect, making them look like they’ve been there for ages.

Add Inexpensive Tassels to Your Drawer Handles

Tassels have been around for AGES and are always a fun way of sprucing up your furniture. Use fun, colorful tassels in bright vivid colors and hang them on your drawer handles and even doorknobs. How cute does that look?

Add a Fireplace Screen

If you aren’t using your fireplace a glamorous way to dress it up is with a pretty fireplace screen. Choose something that amps it up like a fancy gold screen or even a mirrored one! This quick accessory will really make a big difference and bring all eyes to your fireplace, making it the perfect focal point. I purchased a pretty ornate one from Balsam Hill Reviews and it really dressed up my fireplace after the cold season!

Gold Spray-paint Goes a Long Way

Give old furniture a little TLC with GOLD SPRAY PAINT! I’ve use this trick for years and it really glams a lot of things up. If you have old rusty metal furniture give it a good sanding down and spray away! Even spray painting a few rocks from your garden gold, makes a nice decorative object to place on the coffee table. Old flowerpots, plastic figurines, and even drawer pulls look instantly refreshed and expensive!

Add a Mirrored Backsplash

I fell in LOVE with mirrored back-splashes when I first saw them on Keeping up with the Kardashians, in Kris Jenner’s kitchen. I don’t usually watch the show, but her kitchen is gorgeous! This designer used a similar tile technique that makes this kitchen look WOW!
