1. Raise the Curtains
NICETOWN Blackout Curtains 2 Panels | Reg. Price: $47.95
Make your ceilings appear higher by moving your curtain rod two to three inches below the ceiling. You will want your curtains to just touch the floor. It is better to purchase curtains that are too long and hem them with iron-on hemming tape.

5. Use Glass Soap Dispensers
JASAI Antique Design Soap Dispenser | Sale Price: $9.99 | Reg. Price: $19.79
Forget having plastic dish soap and hand soap containers lounging on your kitchen and bathroom counters. Instead, use glass soap dispensers to attractively display soap. Now you can buy larger soap refills and save some money and the planet.
6. Use Mirrors Strategically
GRACTO 30” Circle Brush Gold Mirror | Reg. Price: $79.99
You probably know that mirrors can make a room appear larger, but that doesn’t mean you should hang one over your mantle and call it a day. Instead, place a mirror opposite or next to a window to increase the room’s natural light.

7. Use Large Art Pieces as a Focal Point
Abstract Blue Watercolor Canvas | Reg. Price $119.00
When it comes to shopping for artwork, many people will avoid larger pieces of art because of the steep prices. However, finding a large piece for under $120 is a steal and will make your room look more pulled together than several smaller art pieces on the wall.

8. Swap Out-Dated Cabinet Handles
30- Pack of Black Matte Cabinet Pulls | Sale Price: $22.94 after 15% coupon | Reg. Price: $26.99
If the cabinets around your home have older hardware, you can quickly switch out older designs for modern pulls. If your cabinets do not have any hardware, adding stylish pulls and knobs makes a huge difference.
Slick Tip: Use a cabinet handle template like these from Amazon for the easiest way to DIY your hardware.
