My "I Want My House to Look Expensive" Finds
17
items The little things I'd add to my house to make it look more expensive without actually spending a fortune. I love pieces with a bit of character that make a room feel finished, without everything looking like it came from the same place.

Antique Brass Perfume Tray
I love this one for adding a bit of that old-world feel. It looks like something you'd find in an antique shop rather than something brand new, and I think it makes a room feel so much more expensive.

This reminds me so much of those classic blue and white china patterns. I love that look, and having it as a big plant pot makes it feel like a proper feature piece.
Handpainted Blue & White Ceramic Flower Pot, Indoor Planter
I love long curtains like these. They make the room feel so much more finished and expensive, especially when they're hung high and go all the way to the floor.

I love a vintage rug like this. It makes a room feel so much more lived in and expensive, and I love the colours and patterns you get with the older ones.

Little items like this make a house turn into a home, it has history and a story! A great conversation starter, especially when lit for cocktail hour or hosting guests.
Vintage Brass Musical Miners Lamp - Vintage Home Decor
I really like this one. It's small enough to tuck into a little space, but it's got enough character that it doesn't just disappear into the room. The antique brass is gorgeous too.
Handmade Antique Brass Side Table | Aluminium Drink Table
I really like the simplicity of this one. The timber top and black metal legs give it that nice mid-century look, and I love that you can use it for a plant or as a little side table. It's handmade in Australia too!
HARPER Hairpin Leg Plant Stand: Hand-Turned Wood Top, Metal Accent
Pop some flowers in or leave it as is and friends can rub it for good luck!
It looks like a genie lamp or something someone would bring your water in while you lounge by the pool.

Ornate Italian brass vase, vintage 30cm baroque ewer pitcher
This would make such a pretty front door feature. I'd fill it with flowers or a big leafy plant and let it do its thing. The distressed finish gives it that old French garden look.
French Rustic Urn Planter: Distressed Blue-Gray Vase, Farmhouse Garden Decor
Okay, these are gorgeous. I love the natural stone because every pair is going to have its own colouring and veining. They'd look so good with a few old books on a shelf, and honestly I'd probably have them out even if I didn't need bookends.

I love the shadows this would throw on the wall when you've got a candle lit. It's almost like having a little piece of ceramic wall art that also happens to give you pretty lighting.
Ceramic Ajour Wall Candle Holder, Shadow Casting Wall Sconce, Handmade Perforated Candle Holder
This has such a beautiful rustic look. I'd keep it simple with a few nice books, a plant and one or two statement pieces. The chunky timber gives it that expensive, solid look without being too polished.
