Want to give your place a magazine-worthy look without the high-end interior designer price tag? These styling and decorating tips will have your place ready for it's close up - and some of them won't cost you a dime.


m1
Greenery and branches are an excellent way to enhance large spaces as well as bring dimension to smaller abodes. A simple vase full of leaves and greenery on a counter or table instantly adds a fresh feeling, and it's more gender neutral than a large bouquet of flowers. Flowering Forsythia Branches, $38, Terrain

m2
Corral perfumes, countertop necessities, candles, and a bud vase with a bloom or two in decorative trays. It's a bathroom after all, and we know there are products you use all the time; this just helps them to look better. Antique-Finish Mirror Tray, $60, Zara Home

m3
Decorative and colorful tea towels are the perfect way to inject personality and life into your kitchen. Leave them out on countertops or drape over the side of the sink for a dose of beautiful reality. Hudson Tea Towel, $19, Heath Ceramics

m4
An imperfect collection of decorative pillows in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures add color and dimension to sofas and settees. Avoid keeping them all perfectly plump for a more natural, lived-in feel. Cotton Cushion Cover, $13, H&M Home

If your space is decorated in cool tones, add a pop of warmth with a contrasting color through flowers or decorative accessories. A grouping of bright pink flowers will really stand out in a blue room, just as a purple throw and pillow in a mainly yellow room will bring some visual "wow". Look around, identify a color the room is missing, and introduce a small dose for big effect. Woven Throw, $50, H&M Home

Nothing says luxury like a stack of fresh, fluffy, white towels. We think it's a modern take on bathroom décor and love how they inject a spa-like feeling into spaces. Just make sure to read up on how to keep your whites white. Threshold Textured Towel Set, $18, Target

In photos and real life, when a chair is pulled out slightly from a desk or table, it enables the viewer to get more of a sense of the shape and style of the piece. Give it a try in your home, just not too far out that it becomes a hazard. Industry Chair, $199, CB2
