After talking about upgrading your sleepwear last week, I got to thinking about additional upgrades I’ve made in my life that have been worth the investment. Never has that been more true than in my home. Our homes are our sanctuaries, places of refuge from the chaos and stress of modern life as well as spaces to entertain our friends and loved ones. With the holidays fast approaching and many of us hosting parties and sprucing up our living spaces for company, I wanted to turn our attention to household upgrades that can make all the difference. These five luxurious adjustments can make a house really truly feel like a home.
Upgrading your home space is a very personal endeavour and the variety of options available can feel overwhelming. These upgrades are little, generally inexpensive touches that can truly make your home feel luxurious — whatever your budget. Adding a little luxury to your personal sanctuary doesn’t necessarily have to break the bank — each section of this guide has at least one upgrade under $25! If there’s anything I’ve learned during my own home decorating journey, it’s that the little touches can often have the most impact, whatever their price tag. Something as simple as a foyer closet filled with matching hangers can leave an impression on both visitors and yourself each and every day. And a few tongue-in-cheek accents can truly make all the difference between a welcoming space and a stale one.
Here are my top five household upgrades to truly make your home feel luxurious:
1. Velvet Hangers. They lend closets a uniform and expensive appearance while being highly practical: velvet hangers grip clothing firmly, making them the most attractive no-slip hangers on the market:

2. Faux-Fur Throw. This throw of mine was a gift from my grandmother and it’s the only thing I need to stay warm around the house in winter. Luckily faux-fur throws add a touch of serious opulence to anything you place them on, from the couch to your bed. Stay warm and bring in some richness to your decor:

3. Fancy Hand Soap. A detail not to be overlooked! Of all the things our house guests comment on when they visit, the delicious-smelling hand soap I have in the guest bathroom is what we are complimented on the most. It’s a simple touch with serious impact and I love to watch our guests leaving while smelling their hands covertly.

4. A Charismatic Mug. The ultimate morning perk, especially if you work from home like I do! A charismatic mug with personality is a fun, inexpensive upgrade for your desk or china cabinet that is guaranteed to bring a smile:

5. Cheeky Coasters. Serious conversation starters, cheeky coasters are the perfect accent to help break the ice at house parties. And they give any coffee table a huge boost in personality:
HAPPY SHOPPING!
