There are a number of tricks to elevate your home

TikTok user @beauty.chronicles uploaded a video saying: “How to make your home look x100 more expensive, from an interior designer.”;

Their first tip was to never hang curtains just about the window as they claimed it looks “so unclassy.”;

They advised: “Hang them at the ceiling to make your windows look taller and get that luxurious vibe.”;

Their next piece of advice was to ditch dark floors, including dark wooden ones, as they show “every crumb”; and are a “nightmare”; to keep clean.

The interior pro said you should instead get light wood tones as it’ll make your home look bigger and modern.

Next up was kitchen sinks, and if yours are overmounted it is bad news.

The interior expert claimed that these look “cheap”;, compared to “undermounts.”;

They added that these not only look sleeker, are easier to keep clean and can often cost the same.

Her next gripe was with dark countertops, and she said you should get rid of them “immediately.”;

She advised: “If replacing them isn’t in the budget, epoxy kits are a great way to brighten them up.”;

Many people have jumped on the trend of having one accent wall in a lounge or a bedroom.

Instead, you should “carry the trim all the way around the room to look more custom.”;

Finally, they had a tip when it came to bathrooms.

They shared how you should ditch your “builder-grade showerhead”; and swap it for a filtered one.

The interior designer said it also had the added benefit of being good for your beauty regime too.

She explained: “Your hair and skin will literally thank you.”;

Her tips have racked up nearly 10,000 likes, and people were quick to give their views.

One said: “first tip is good.”;

Another added: “I agree with the first one.”;

However, one wrote: “first tip don’t listen to interior designers.”;
