Small house, but do you want a million dollar attitude? Let me tell you, I have a lot of tips to make your house look much more luxurious. For little, you understand.

1. Choose one large piece.

All those small souvenirs and messy hippie trophies you brought back from Ibiza are nice, but it doesn't make it any more luxurious. In a box with that clutter. Choose a large artwork that becomes the focal point in your living room.

No, it doesn't have to be expensive. You can download beautiful artworks from www.rijksmuseum.nl/rijksstudio. Yes, that's allowed. If you have it printed nicely, for example on wallpaper strips like I saw recently in VT Wonen, you can frame it again. The American magazine Good Housekeeping also had a good idea. Download a large artwork, have it printed at a specialty store, and cut the artwork into three parts that fit into large Ikea frames. This way you have a triptych painting. That has been very popular in recent years and I understand why, because it immediately gives a twist to your artwork.

2. Crispy sheets

Of course, you can go to great lengths with starch and complicated ironing, but I take a sheet set to the dry cleaner every week. I get it back crackling with freshness, and every evening I feel like I'm in the suite of a five-star hotel. Costs 12 euros, you wouldn't want to mess around with that yourself, would you?

3. The right accessories

Make sure to have current magazines and a nice scented candle. I think the ones from Baobab are the fanciest. They also burn them at the Hermès stores, so you know you're in good hands.

4. Declutter, declutter, declutter

The cheapest tip with a luxury feel: decluttering. Make sure to have a set of plates, the same glasses, and cutlery. Everything you don't use often, you toss away. You organize all the other things. Tidy cabinets, ironed sheets, and no dishes on the counter.

You will see how big and luxurious everything looks when you give it a good sweep.

5. Create an illusion

On Harpersbazaar.com, I read about an interior stylist who made the room appear larger with large rugs. You can even have multiple rugs sewn together. When such a rich, large rug comes out from under your couch at the back and sides, your room looks big and luxurious. A mirror behind the couch gives an even more spacious effect.

6. Throw

Drape a beautiful cashmere throw over your couch. Wonderful to snuggle under on a chilly evening, but it's also an accessory that lifts your couch. Even if you're not under it.
