Cover it Up!
For the most part, things you store in the garage aren’t exactly beautiful. Consider covering it up. We used the large metal storage carts on either side of the door. They sell them at any home improvement store. My husband has one for his work supplies and tools and I use mine for projects supplies and paint. I picked up the curtain panels from Wal- Mart. They were on clearance for $7 each. I bought three as they were not long enough. I simply cut a strip and glue gunned it to the bottom of each one! Keeping in mind. . . .it’s the garage! A little glue gun action ever hurt anyone. You could even add a fun graphic print like these.

Improve Interior Doors
Interior doors don’t have to be solid and boring. Beautiful, space-saving pocket doors may be worth the splurge. Not only do they elevate style, but they also can be used to create separation within open floor plans.
You can never go wrong with brass
“I’ve placed a couple of small brass sculptural objects on a bookshelf that add another layer of luxe.” – Camille Styles, lifestyle blogger & Creative Director
Add more artwork
“Art is a great go-to for giving your space a more luxurious, unique feel. A lot of people are intimidated by art because it can be so expensive. But you don’t necessarily have to spend a fortune on art. All of my favorite art comes either from artist friends or from flea markets and thrift stores. You can update vintage art by framing it in a fresh new frame.” – Orlando Soria, Creative Director, Homepolish
It’s all about good lighting
“I always make sure there’s a dimmer on every light switch, and that I have plenty of lamps throughout a space. Adjusting the lighting in a room can make it moody, cozy, romantic, relaxing, and definitely luxurious.” – Julia Noran, President and Site Director, Editor at Large
