### Adding Luxury: A Budget-Friendly Approach
Adding luxury might sound expensive, but the truth is that it can be achieved with ease and on a budget. The essence of adding luxury to your home lies in creating moments where you pamper yourself, embrace life's greatest moments, and create a home environment that makes you feel special, cared for, and ultimately happy.
### 1. **The Power of Lighting**
Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a luxurious ambiance in any space. While filming, I often keep fewer lights on to avoid camera glare, but when not filming, I have several lights turned on to create warmth and elegance. Dimmers are one of my favorite ways to achieve this ambient feeling. They can be surprisingly inexpensive to install and offer a sophisticated touch.
If overhead lighting isn’t an option, consider adding lamps or sconces. Floor lamps, table lamps, and wall-mounted sconces are versatile and budget-friendly solutions that add soft, inviting light. For shopping, I recommend exploring options on Amazon, Target, and Home Depot for a variety of styles and prices.
### 2. **Rugs: The Flooring of Luxury**
A rug is an easy and affordable way to add luxury to any room. It not only adds warmth and sophistication but also defines the space and serves as a focal point. Opting for natural materials like jute or wool can elevate the look without breaking the bank.
I’ve found incredible rugs on Amazon, and I even have an entire board dedicated to my recent purchases where you can shop directly. When choosing rugs or any decor items, focus on timeless designs that will last for years.
### 3. **Lily Silk: Luxury at Your fingertips**
Lily Silk is a go-to brand for me when it comes to adding luxury through materials. Their silk duvets, pillows, and even clothing are not only incredibly soft but also offer health benefits like being anti-bacterial and breathable. My absolute favorite is their silk duvet insert, which adds an extra layer of coziness.
If you’re looking to save, use the code **HOV TV12** for an extra 12% off on everything, or check out their buy-one-get-one-25% discount for women’s apparel and sleepwear. For the ultimate luxury experience, try their silk-covered comforter with code **HOV15**.
### 4. **Blankets: Cozy Luxury**
Adding a blanket is another quick way to bring luxury into your home. It not only adds warmth but also creates an inviting atmosphere that feels like home. My favorite finds have been from Amazon, including a cashmere blanket I’ve taken on travels worldwide for its elegance and thin yet warm design.
If you’re looking for more affordable options, check out my IKEA playlist where I’ve featured some stunning blankets and other luxurious items at reasonable prices.
### 5. **Pillows: The Perfect Touch**
Pillows are an easy way to add comfort and luxury to any room. I recently purchased some beautiful pillows from H&M Home in Copenhagen, featuring elegant trims that add a touch of sophistication without costing much. Pair them with down inserts for extra softness.
For a luxurious fabric feel, bouclé is my go-to choice as it’s durable and adds an upscale vibe to any space.
### 6. **Fragrance: A Breath of Luxury**
Candles and room sprays are some of the easiest ways to add luxury through scent. My absolute favorite candles are from Madeleine, known for their Meadowland fragrances. If you want a more affordable option, try their lava rocks that散发香气持久.
For room sprays, Diptyque is my recommendation for an instantly luxurious fragrance that lasts a long time.
### 7. **Vases: Adding Life to Your Space**
A vase can transform any room by adding texture and life. I love using them as decorative pieces or filled with flowers for seasonal updates. Some of my favorites include heavy, textured vases from Amazon and the classic Quinn vase from Pottery Barn.
For more affordable options, explore H&M Home’s selection, which offers high-quality vases at reasonable prices.
### 8. **Curtains: Softening Your Space**
While I often remove curtains to let natural light in, there are times when adding them softens a space beautifully. Velvet curtains from IKEA and linen-like drapes for my sunroom are my go-to choices for creating an inviting atmosphere.
IKEA is an excellent source for affordable yet stylish curtains that can be used throughout your home.
### Conclusion
Adding luxury to your home doesn’t have to break the bank. By focusing on lighting, rugs, silk items, blankets, pillows, candles, vases, and curtains, you can create a space that feels warm, inviting, and truly luxurious without spending a fortune.

ways it can be very budget friendly but the point of adding luxury to your home really is about creating these moments where you pamper yourself where you really embrace life's greatest moments and you really just give yourself this wonderful home life that's full of these moments that just makes you feel special it makes you feel cared for and i feel like it's the ultimate way of self-care it really just helps you feel good about yourself and when you feel good the day just feels better and so i just really believe in it and i think that you can do this on a budget the first one is pretty easy it's about adding light and a lot of times we forget that lighting is really important to a feeling of luxury in a space i love even now you can see a little bit of the ambient light behind me i typically don't have a lot of lights on when we're filming but when we aren't filming we have a lot of the lights on it adds a lot of warmth sometimes it doesn't work very well for the camera but it really is important to create a beautiful ambiance in your space and i love to have dimmers zimmers are one of my favorite things it's a great way to be able to dim the lights in your room to create an ambient feeling and dimmer can be really inexpensive to add in but if you don't want to mess with overhead lighting and dimmers another easy way to add luxury is just to add some lamps you can have some great low light i just got some great lamps i would show you except i just put it into one of the projects that we're working on but i have just bought this beautiful floor lamp from amazon it's just gorgeous and i love the fact that i can keep some low light near a sofa you can also add some table lamps this is an easy way of adding low light into your space whether it's on a console table like i have here or in a bedroom i think that's such a great place you could also add sconces if you don't have a lot of space and you're trying to save room on your tables i think sconces on the wall are really easy you can hard wire them in but i'm not opposed to there also being a wire going down the wall if it's the complete opposite color you don't want to see the wire you can always just paint it the color of the wall and make it disappear lighting is one of those easy things that you can add to your space and you probably already have lights you can probably just walk around your house and just turn them on but if you're looking for places to shop i think that amazon is a great source i've also found some really great lamps recently at target i love to shop at cv2 i love their lighting do you know where else is really really good home depot that's another great source if i don't find it on amazon a lot of times my second place to look is home depot especially for table lamps well actually they've got really great overhead lighting too and a lot of times it's in stock and it's going to be shipped really fast and i don't know about you but i get impatient once i decide i want to do something i want it done now and so that's why i love to be able to shop on those places online and get it really quick and that way you can be enjoying your ambient space really quickly the second thing that i love to do is i love to add a rug a rug is such an easy way to add luxury and it doesn't have to cost you a lot of money rugs to me they just add a lot of warmth they add a lot of sophistication it really tells your eye where the room is and what's the center point of it it really defines your spaces and so i think that a rug is a great way to add luxury now adding luxury really comes down to the materials that you use and so i really like to use natural materials like jute i think that scissors can re really really beautiful they give off a very luxurious vibe i also have found i have found so many recently on amazon i have been ordering rugs like crazy for my projects off of amazon i actually have an entire board on amazon that you can shop where i've put all of my recent purchases in and you can check them out there another easy way to add lux is to focus on the materials that you are adding into your space and i love to do that through my pillows i love to do that through my uh sofas and everything that i put into a room i always think about the materials so one of the things that i've gotten recently that i am just dying over that i absolutely love is my silk duvet lily silk who is also our video sponsor just recently sent me a beautiful haul of gorgeous silk items and one of those is their gorgeous duvet it is so silky it's literally made of silk it's so soft and silk is wonderful because it's really good for your skin it's anti-bacterial it's really breathable but when you put it on your bed it's just extra luxury i've also got the duvet insert from lily silk and it's also got a beautiful silky cotton feel to it and it really helps just to layer that duvet up and make it nice and fluffy and cozy and i just adore it lily silk uses mulberry silk which is the highest quality silk that you can find and their prices are always so affordable and i can tell you i own so many of their pieces and they are a go-to for me i really do grab them and wear them and use them all the time and i have their hair scrunchies the blouses silk black trousers and then they've sent me some new items including actually the little top that i'm wearing today is another one of their silk items and it's just gorgeous i also absolutely adore their silk trousers they are literally like wearing silk pajamas but you get to wear them out of the house and still look put together and i think that they are they're so beautiful and soft and they look great with so many different blouses you could wear it with a blouse to dress it up you could wear it with a tank top to dress it down i love them lily silk always packages their items in the most beautiful packaging and so i love when you have a total luxury experience love a silk skirt you just feel so good in it and it's those kinds of materials that really just add a lot this one has the pretty pleating in it and that's another thing that i think is really important when you're adding luxury to your home is thinking about those beautiful details i've also got one of their gorgeous silk blouses and their creamy white color it's classic and i really think when you choose classic items it's an easy way of adding luxury into your life that's budget friendly when you buy something that's really going to have a cut and a color that will really last you and that way you really get your use out of this can also add a little bit of pattern i love to add a subtle pattern and here you can see how they've added it in their beautiful silk top with this little bit of brown and you can add in little details like this into your into your wardrobe and into your home and just again it's a classic it's a classic shape it's a classic pattern and of course it's that beautiful silk and it's just something that's gonna feel like a treat when you're wearing it and this is what i love lily silk also sent me this beautiful beautiful scarf and at the moment i've got it tied onto my bag it's still a little warm in atlanta we're still in the 90s here so it's a little toasty for around the neck that's what's so great about having a beautiful versatile piece like this it can go on your bag you could tie it on your wrist you could tie it around your neck and it's really great when you're thinking about how to save money when you think about adding laundry to your life having something that you can use in a lot of different ways actually saves you a lot of money because you only need one item and you can really mix and match it and you end up just using that item a lot one of my ride or die favorite ways to add luxury to my home and to my experience in my home is to add silk jammies i love sleeping in silk pajamas it is the first of all it's just good for you it's good for your skin it's good for your hair it's just an ideal way to be able to sleep because it's so breathable but it also just feels good and i have the hardest time wearing anything but silk to bed i just absolutely love it and lilly silk's pajamas are the best they really are so luxurious but what i love about lily silk is that they really just make it so affordable you're getting such a luxury piece that really is going to just last you for years but it's also at a great price there's three different ways you can save with lily's silk i've got three different codes you can use their extra 12 off of lily silk everything coupon which is the hov tv 12. you've also got the special sales for women's apparel and sleepwear where you can buy one get one 25 off with my code hov25 or get an extra 15 off of the lily silk cotton covered silk comforter with my code hov15 i'm going to leave all the details down below because i know that you're going to really want to check out their website really is everything that they promise and i know that you're going to love it so i'm going to leave all the details down below in the show notes for you another easy way to add luxury to your home that is quick and easy is to add a blanket it is my it is my thing you guys know not only does it add a little bit of coziness but it also adds this moment of luxury because to me living in your home if it just looks like a gallery and it's just pretty to look at i don't know to me it doesn't feel like a home to me that's not the definition of luxury to me the definition of luxury is living your best life in your home so i think a blanket is just one of those ways that to me i just love to be i love to have soft things against my skin i love to be cuddly i love to cuddle with the dog and the kids and i'll have a blanket over me while i'm working i just love the cozy factor so i think that adding a blanket is an ideal thing you could add it to the sofa to a chair to your bed it's just easy and it really does add this feeling of luxury so i've got this one which was my favorite favorite amazon cashmere blanket i've ever purchased i've taken this to europe with me i've taken it all over the world every time i travel somewhere this is the one that comes with me because it's nice and warm but it's also really thin and so it feels really elegant and sophisticated and i love it also recently got this one that has this beautiful fringing on it and this is also from amazon i have been finding so many great blankets over there i just finished a four day install and you probably see i'm like i look a little sleepy because i am worn out but i can tell you that we work in luxury and we use these blankets in our homes and they look just as high-end as some of the most outrageously expensive blankets i've ordered a lot of those really expensive ones and i've sent a lot of them back because these are awesome you're going to get a quality item that's going to cost you so much less you also probably want to check out some of my ikea videos you should actually just check out my ikea playlist because that's where you can also find so many of my favorites from ikea where i really go through what items are really luxurious i've got so many other blankets from them as well and a lot of the items that we're going to talk about some of the vases and candles and things i go to ikea for a lot of that as well so definitely check out these blankets i always link all the items down below in the show notes if you're looking for them if you're on a tv i think you have to go to a computer or to your phone to be able to see the links just in case you're looking for them another quick and easy way to add luxury is to add pillows i know you guys are like wow what a shock valentina let me guess candles are next yes let's not get ahead of ourselves okay i've got some new pillows and i absolutely love them i got these from h m home if you saw us do our h m home shop with me when we were in copenhagen denmark you got to see me purchasing these and i'm so glad i did because they sold out so fast but i'm still going to leave a link for you because they keep coming back into stock but i love to add a pillow i love these with the little trim on them i've got the same collection on my bed right now it just looks absolutely gorgeous i loved these little details it really feels so luxurious and yet they're stupidly affordable i'm not joking it's just stupid affordable and i love to put the down inserts inside of these i always buy the inserts nowadays on amazon i have a favorite and it's just what i order i'm also obsessed with boucle i love when the materials themselves have a very luxe feel to them so i've got the boucle as well i've been using it on my bed but i also now have these sitting on the sofa just to give me a different kind of look and i just think that a boucle like this it's it's a very durable fabric which i think is really important it's something that you can really live with and enjoy again to me luxury means that i can actually live with the things that are around me they're beautiful to look at they feel good against me that to me is the ultimate definition of luxury as i alluded to before i think that fragrance really is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to add a feeling of luxury into your home and i say feeling because it really is all about the feeling right it's the way that your house feels when you walk in it's the way that it feels when you're sitting down to watch a movie or read a book or to drink your coffee feelings to me are everything and so i love to have candles my ride or die absolute favorite is uh the madeleine candles i adore these they are my favorite they're not the most budget friendly but if you want the ultimate in luxury it's these candles if you love the meadowland fragrances and you want to save a little bit of money one of my favorite things to do is to buy their rocks they've got them in the amethyst they've got them in the lava rocks and all you do is just open the lid and keep them open and if the air is full of this and i'm like oh it makes me so happy this is my favorite the spiritual oh my gosh it's my favorite it's my favorite candle on the planet there is nothing that i love more than spiritual the night sook oh i love that one too i love all of these i just placed a massive order with them i love them the rocks are great because they're a little bit more affordable they also have the diffusers if you want to do them so if you want something that's a little bit more affordable and still getting the ultimate in luxury that's these then what i do is for these i keep the rocks forever but when the candles go down i've got a little collection and i reuse those uh the met the containers because they're made out of an iron and they're handmade in france and it's just the ultimate in luxury to me but i do have a couple other favorites yep got the spiritual candle as well i'm telling you i've got that's my favorite another place that i really love to shop for candles is actually on h m huh they've got some really great candles this is the salted sea i just ordered their wood one that i've had going as well i also shop a lot actually on target their candles are great i especially love the hearth and hand candles those are my favorite and they smell amazing and i'm really excited because the autumn fragrances just came out and i can't wait to go and get some of them and to start burning those in the home but they always have the birch ones and they're so good the other easy way to add some fragrance into your space that's super affordable is to actually buy a room spray i absolutely adore the diptique ones one spray goes a really long way so one spray you can do in a living room like this i might do two for one that's a two story like this but it will actually fragrance your room in an instant and it's a really affordable it lasts a really long time and what i'll do a lot of times is i'll leave one of these in the bathroom but i also love to grab them and spritz my room right before somebody walks in because that way the room just smells really really good and it's one of my favorite ways to add a beautiful fragrance that is more luxurious for sure and price however you can really use this for a really long time and so it really will stretch you and i just love it so yeah those are my favorites i absolutely love a base because you can add florals to it you can add sculpture to your space with a vase you don't even have to have anything in it you can also add flowers to it which adds a lot of beautiful life you guys know i love if you watch my instagram i show it all the time i love to have beautiful branches in them this is one that i found on amazon and i actually own this in a couple of different sizes i've ordered several of their vases and this one is so heavy it's so heavy but it's got so much beautiful texture on it and it's gorgeous and yeah it's a favorite it's a ride or die i've restyled it in probably every single room of my house but that to me is how you're gonna save money is having a beautiful vase that you can use all throughout your house all throughout all seasons it's something that is a forever purchase and this is one of my favorites another favorite of mine is the pottery barn vase this is the quinn i own this in the smaller size and i own this in the bigger size i like the smaller size because i can literally put it on bedside tables coffee tables i put it in the kitchen i put it on the dining table it's been in the bathroom it's been in every room in the house these two i would say that you're gonna only be able to buy two vases for the rest of your life i'd buy these two these are the two that go into almost all of my projects i just love them and even though the price point is a little bit higher it will last you forever and so if you're looking for something that's timeless ageless lasts you forever quality is amazing i would say these two are the two you should definitely be looking at i love them the bigger one is actually shiny on this and i own that one as well so it looks very similar to the other vase i just showed you so i just love them the other place i look at for vases is actually h m home it is such a good source for really good vases i have never ordered a vase from them that i did not absolutely love and the quality on them is super super good i've also got vase recommendations in my ikea videos as well and those are really affordable but i think having a classic one that you just keep using over and over you never want to switch it you just switch out what's in it seasonally is the perfect way to add luxury for less the final way that i love to add a little quick touch of luxury is actually with curtains and it's funny because a lot of times i talk about letting light in and taking all the curtains down and that's a way of adding luxury for free but i do actually really like to have curtains to soften a space and i think you can do that really affordably i've just recently got the velvet ones i showed you in one of the recent videos that i got from amazon they also have them at ikea after i did that video and i went and did a little research i was like oh my gosh they changed the top of the curtains that i was talking about that i was like i don't buy those anymore and then it was like oh they changed them they changed them because yeah it was a better design so they've really just improved them uh i love to shop at ikea i have the aina they have like a linen look to them i have a linen look i have a linen one that's like really gauzy in my sun room and those are my main curtains actually those are the ones that i have throughout my own house but there's a lot of great ones at ikea amazon is a little bit harder to sort through so i do have a board where i've ordered some and i've linked to the ones that i like so it's just there's so much on amazon that can be a little bit overwhelming so just try to curate for you guys so you don't have to search through all that but these are just easy and quick ways to add a little bit of luxury to your home into your life and to really pamper yourself and take care of yourself show yourself that care and i think it always it really always just comes back to you because when you feel good you you treat yourself well and you treat others well and i just i think it's the path to a happier life and i just love it so i hope this inspired you today to add some lux to your life and if you're interested in any of the items i'll leave the links down below in the show notes for you also make sure to check out those lilly silk discount codes i know i'm going to be looking because i i really love this blouse with a little bow on it and i think i'm going to have to have another color of this so yeah um and i really

different blouses you could wear it with a blouse to dress it up you could wear it with a tank top to dress it down i love them lily silk always packages their items in the most beautiful packaging and so i love when you have a total luxury experience love a silk skirt you just feel so good in it and it's those kinds of materials that really just add a lot this one has the pretty pleating in it and that's another thing that i think is really important when you're adding luxury to your home is thinking about those beautiful details i've also got one of their gorgeous silk blouses and their creamy white color it's classic and i really think when you choose classic items it's an easy way of adding luxury into your life that's budget friendly when you buy something that's really going to have a cut and a color that will really last you and that way you really get your use out of this can also add a little bit of pattern i love to add a subtle pattern and here you can see how they've added it in their beautiful silk top with this little bit of brown and you can add in little details like this into your into your wardrobe and into your home and just again it's a classic it's a classic shape it's a classic pattern and of course it's that beautiful silk and it's just something that's gonna feel like a treat when you're wearing it and this is what i love lily silk also sent me this beautiful beautiful scarf and at the moment i've got it tied onto my bag it's still a little warm in atlanta we're still in the 90s here so it's a little toasty for around the neck that's what's so great about having a beautiful versatile piece like this it can go on your bag you could tie it on your wrist you could tie it around your neck and it's really great when you're thinking about how to save money when you think about adding laundry to your life having something that you can use in a lot of different ways actually saves you a lot of money because you only need one item and you can really mix and match it and you end up just using that item a lot one of my ride or die favorite ways to add luxury to my home and to my experience in my home is to add silk jammies i love sleeping in silk pajamas it is the first of all it's just good for you it's good for your skin it's good for your hair it's just an ideal way to be able to sleep because it's so breathable but it also just feels good and i have the hardest time wearing anything but silk to bed i just absolutely love it and lilly silk's pajamas are the best they really are so luxurious but what i love about lily silk is that they really just make it so affordable you're getting such a luxury piece that really is going to just last you for years but it's also at a great price there's three different ways you can save with lily's silk i've got three different codes you can use their extra 12 off of lily silk everything coupon which is the hov tv 12. you've also got the special sales for women's apparel and sleepwear where you can buy one get one 25 off with my code hov25 or get an extra 15 off of the lily silk cotton covered silk comforter with my code hov15 i'm going to leave all the details down below because i know that you're going to really want to check out their website really is everything that they promise and i know that you're going to love it so i'm going to leave all the details down below in the show notes for you another easy way to add luxury to your home that is quick and easy is to add a blanket it is my it is my thing you guys know not only does it add a little bit of coziness but it also adds this moment of luxury because to me living in your home if it just looks like a gallery and it's just pretty to look at i don't know to me it doesn't feel like a home to me that's not the definition of luxury to me the definition of luxury is living your best life in your home so i think a blanket is just one of those ways that to me i just love to be i love to have soft things against my skin i love to be cuddly i love to cuddle with the dog and the kids and i'll have a blanket over me while i'm working i just love the cozy factor so i think that adding a blanket is an ideal thing you could add it to the sofa to a chair to your bed it's just easy and it really does add this feeling of luxury so i've got this one which was my favorite favorite amazon cashmere blanket i've ever purchased i've taken this to europe with me i've taken it all over the world every time i travel somewhere this is the one that comes with me because it's nice and warm but it's also really thin and so it feels really elegant and sophisticated and i love it also recently got this one that has this beautiful fringing on it and this is also from amazon i have been finding so many great blankets over there i just finished a four day install and you probably see i'm like i look a little sleepy because i am worn out but i can tell you that we work in luxury and we use these blankets in our homes and they look just as high-end as some of the most outrageously expensive blankets i've ordered a lot of those really expensive ones and i've sent a lot of them back because these are awesome you're going to get a quality item that's going to cost you so much less you also probably want to check out some of my ikea videos you should actually just check out my ikea playlist because that's where you can also find so many of my favorites from ikea where i really go through what items are really luxurious i've got so many other blankets from them as well and a lot of the items that we're going to talk about some of the vases and candles and things i go to ikea for a lot of that as well so definitely check out these blankets i always link all the items down below in the show notes if you're looking for them if you're on a tv i think you have to go to a computer or to your phone to be able to see the links just in case you're looking for them another quick and easy way to add luxury is to add pillows i know you guys are like wow what a shock valentina let me guess candles are next yes let's not get ahead of ourselves okay i've got some new pillows and i absolutely love them i got these from h m home if you saw us do our h m home shop with me when we were in copenhagen denmark you got to see me purchasing these and i'm so glad i did because they sold out so fast but i'm still going to leave a link for you because they keep coming back into stock but i love to add a pillow i love these with the little trim on them i've got the same collection on my bed right now it just looks absolutely gorgeous i loved these little details it really feels so luxurious and yet they're stupidly affordable i'm not joking it's just stupid affordable and i love to put the down inserts inside of these i always buy the inserts nowadays on amazon i have a favorite and it's just what i order i'm also obsessed with boucle i love when the materials themselves have a very luxe feel to them so i've got the boucle as well i've been using it on my bed but i also now have these sitting on the sofa just to give me a different kind of look and i just think that a boucle like this it's it's a very durable fabric which i think is really important it's something that you can really live with and enjoy again to me luxury means that i can actually live with the things that are around me they're beautiful to look at they feel good against me that to me is the ultimate definition of luxury as i alluded to before i think that fragrance really is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to add a feeling of luxury into your home and i say feeling because it really is all about the feeling right it's the way that your house feels when you walk in it's the way that it feels when you're sitting down to watch a movie or read a book or to drink your coffee feelings to me are everything and so i love to have candles my ride or die absolute favorite is uh the madeleine candles i adore these they are my favorite they're not the most budget friendly but if you want the ultimate in luxury it's these candles if you love the meadowland fragrances and you want to save a little bit of money one of my favorite things to do is to buy their rocks they've got them in the amethyst they've got them in the lava rocks and all you do is just open the lid and keep them open and if the air is full of this and i'm like oh it makes me so happy this is my favorite the spiritual oh my gosh it's my favorite it's my favorite candle on the planet there is nothing that i love more than spiritual the night sook oh i love that one too i love all of these i just placed a massive order with them i love them the rocks are great because they're a little bit more affordable they also have the diffusers if you want to do them so if you want something that's a little bit more affordable and still getting the ultimate in luxury that's these then what i do is for these i keep the rocks forever but when the candles go down i've got a little collection and i reuse those uh the met the containers because they're made out of an iron and they're handmade in france and it's just the ultimate in luxury to me but i do have a couple other favorites yep got the spiritual candle as well i'm telling you i've got that's my favorite another place that i really love to shop for candles is actually on h m huh they've got some really great candles this is the salted sea i just ordered their wood one that i've had going as well i also shop a lot actually on target their candles are great i especially love the hearth and hand candles those are my favorite and they smell amazing and i'm really excited because the autumn fragrances just came out and i can't wait to go and get some of them and to start burning those in the home but they always have the birch ones and they're so good the other easy way to add some fragrance into your space that's super affordable is to actually buy a room spray i absolutely adore the diptique ones one spray goes a really long way so one spray you can do in a living room like this i might do two for one that's a two story like this but it will actually fragrance your room in an instant and it's a really affordable it lasts a really long time and what i'll do a lot of times is i'll leave one of these in the bathroom but i also love to grab them and spritz my room right before somebody walks in because that way the room just smells really really good and it's one of my favorite ways to add a beautiful fragrance that is more luxurious for sure and price however you can really use this for a really long time and so it really will stretch you and i just love it so yeah those are my favorites i absolutely love a base because you can add florals to it you can add sculpture to your space with a vase you don't even have to have anything in it you can also add flowers to it which adds a lot of beautiful life you guys know i love if you watch my instagram i show it all the time i love to have beautiful branches in them this is one that i found on amazon and i actually own this in a couple of different sizes i've ordered several of their vases and this one is so heavy it's so heavy but it's got so much beautiful texture on it and it's gorgeous and yeah it's a favorite it's a ride or die i've restyled it in probably every single room of my house but that to me is how you're gonna save money is having a beautiful vase that you can use all throughout your house all throughout all seasons it's something that is a forever purchase and this is one of my favorites another favorite of mine is the pottery barn vase this is the quinn i own this in the smaller size and i own this in the bigger size i like the smaller size because i can literally put it on bedside tables coffee tables i put it in the kitchen i put it on the dining table it's been in the bathroom it's been in every room in the house these two i would say that you're gonna only be able to buy two vases for the rest of your life i'd buy these two these are the two that go into almost all of my projects i just love them and even though the price point is a little bit higher it will last you forever and so if you're looking for something that's timeless ageless lasts you forever quality is amazing i would say these two are the two you should definitely be looking at i love them the bigger one is actually shiny on this and i own that one as well so it looks very similar to the other vase i just showed you so i just love them the other place i look at for vases is actually h m home it is such a good source for really good vases i have never ordered a vase from them that i did not absolutely love and the quality on them is super super good i've also got vase recommendations in my ikea videos as well and those are really affordable but i think having a classic one that you just keep using over and over you never want to switch it you just switch out what's in it seasonally is the perfect way to add luxury for less the final way that i love to add a little quick touch of luxury is actually with curtains and it's funny because a lot of times i talk about letting light in and taking all the curtains down and that's a way of adding luxury for free but i do actually really like to have curtains to soften a space and i think you can do that really affordably i've just recently got the velvet ones i showed you in one of the recent videos that i got from amazon they also have them at ikea after i did that video and i went and did a little research i was like oh my gosh they changed the top of the curtains that i was talking about that i was like i don't buy those anymore and then it was like oh they changed them they changed them because yeah it was a better design so they've really just improved them uh i love to shop at ikea i have the aina they have like a linen look to them i have a linen look i have a linen one that's like really gauzy in my sun room and those are my main curtains actually those are the ones that i have throughout my own house but there's a lot of great ones at ikea amazon is a little bit harder to sort through so i do have a board where i've ordered some and i've linked to the ones that i like so it's just there's so much on amazon that can be a little bit overwhelming so just try to curate for you guys so you don't have to search through all that but these are just easy and quick ways to add a little bit of luxury to your home into your life and to really pamper yourself and take care of yourself show yourself that care and i think it always it really always just comes back to you because when you feel good you you treat yourself well and you treat others well and i just i think it's the path to a happier life and i just love it so i hope this inspired you today to add some lux to your life and if you're interested in any of the items i'll leave the links down below in the show
