I would describe myself as someone who would rather spend money on a pair of shoes than a decorative bowl, no matter how beautiful it may be. That said, I still want my home to look chic and elevated. To add another layer, I’m picky when it comes to home décor, as it’s not something I switch out nearly as often as, say, my shoes. 

As with anything, when it comes to a living space, a good goal is to make it look expensive without actually being expensive. That’s the exact lens I looked through when choosing the home items for this round-up. These 28 chic items have the ability to make your home look ultra-expensive with minimal effort and money on your part. From throw pillows to vases to candles, keep reading for all of the best luxe-looking items to fill your home with. Order any one of these and prepare for compliments at your next dinner party.
