Steven Gurowitz and his team of top interior designers transform luxury spaces to reach their fullest potential with expert eyes for style and design know-how. Gurowitz explains that when designing for a luxury look on a budget, it's important to note that not everything is about the furniture. He says that it's truly about the infrastructure instead. The head of the interior design firm offers his five tips to achieve the look.

Shop For Mirrors

Use mirrors on walls to make the rooms of your home look larger. Mirrors also serve to bring the outside into the home.

Don't Fear Color

Do not be afraid of painting accent walls and rooms in color. It will certainly add a bit more of a wow factor on a room-by-room basis.

Use Wall Coverings

There is an unmentionable amount of wall coverings you may use in bathrooms. Using dimensional wall covering gives a room a much warmer feeling to it. It's also able to give the room a more dimensional look.

Use Different Types of Moldings

Millwork is expensive and takes you to that luxury feel, but because we are on a budget, use different shapes and sizes of moldings. The moldings in question are wall moldings rather than traditional crown molding. You can actually do moldings at different sizes and depths to once again add interest for a great interior.

Consider Flooring Inlays Or Inserts

Consider using inlays or inserts in the flooring of your foyers. You may even use them for the flooring of the powder room. Adding inlays or inserts to flooring is more interesting and gives you greater depth and luxury.

Utilize Lighting

A lot may be done with lighting. Rather than dropping your ceilings, you can use very interesting monorail track lighting with LED heads. You can raise the level of sophistication in a space without spending a lot of money. The heads could be directional and highlight your artwork and accessories which again takes you to a very different level.
