Moving into a new home is stressful and will cost a huge sum of money at the same time.

If you are also someone who takes your home's interior design seriously and will potentially spend a lot on renovation works, try cutting down on your expenses for renovation and add these decorations and furniture into your home instead. These will instantly spruce up your home and make it look instagrammable plus luxurious-looking at the same time.

Check them out below!

We know people don't usually associate the word "neon" with luxurious but hear us out. Neon lights are indeed insta-worthy decorations but the trick to nailing it is to choose one with a white light!

Forgo those pink, green or yellow neon lights as those belong in bars and not homes. Primp up a plain area of your home with a simple white neon light like the ones above.

Guests will want to take pictures near it and you can also take many aesthetically pleasing photos of food or anything you want near it too!

#2 Marble coffee table

Marble-patterned decorations or furniture just instantly makes a place look atas! Since having real marble tabletops or flooring can cost a bomb, opt for marble-patterned furniture such as a coffee table instead.

It won't burn a hole in your pocket and makes a great backdrop for any flat lay photos of your favourite coffee, decorations or book!

Choose a marble coffee table with gold accents to amp up the luxurious factor or matte black for a cleaner look.

#3 Velvet sofa

Velvet feels good and comfortable to the touch while looking like it belongs in a palace at the same time, which is why furniture with velvet material are often regarded as luxurious.

We recommend choosing a velvet sofa in colours such as royal green and blue. Darker colours will give your home a pop of colour against a white or neutral-coloured wall.

Take note that velvet sofas are not as easy to clean as compared to leather for instance, so, make sure you use a soft clean cloth to remove debris and dirt from the surface.

#4 Mirrors

Adding full length mirrors on a wall in your living room will give the illusion of a bigger home! Plus, it just looks so good.

Choose a wall that is facing your doorway or seating area so that when guests enter your home, it looks like your house is bigger than it actually is.

If you have budget constraints, a round mirror attached to the wall or floor mirror will suffice too. Place it near the home's entryway so that you can check that your outfit and hair are all in place before heading out.

Choose a mirror with gold accents or black stripes depending on the look you are going for. These mirrors will be good for mirror selfies that will show your entire #OOTD too!

#5 Turntable/speaker/CD player

If you collect vinyls as a hobby, good for you because a turntable will make an extremely insta-worthy decoration for your home! Place it in your living room on a shelf with other decorations and play it when you have guests over. It will surely wow your guests as it sets the mood and looks really good too.

For those who don't own a turntable, getting a speaker is an alternative. We recommend getting a speaker from Marshall as it not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also produces great sound.

A turntable and a Marshall speaker both look retro and will spruce up that corner of your house!

If you want something more modern looking to play your music, get a CD player that can be mounted on the wall. It makes a good decoration for your house and can play all your favourite music too.

#6 Rugs

Rugs are not easy to maintain but they will make your living room area look comfier and welcoming. Instead of those furry carpets that will trap dust and hair easily, go for low pile rugs. These rugs can be vacuumed to remove dust and debris.

Choose a lighter coloured rug such as beige or white if you have dark flooring and vice versa if you have light flooring.

Rugs look good and feel comfortable on the feet too, making your house look and feel luxurious!
