28 Chic Items That'll Make Your Home Look Expensive
I would describe myself as someone who would rather spend money on a pair of shoes than a decorative bowl, no matter how beautiful it may be. That said, I still want my home to look chic and elevated. To add another layer, I'm picky when it comes to home décor, as it's not something I switch out nearly as often as, say, my shoes.

Keep reading for all of the best luxe-looking items to fill your home with, from throw pillows to vases to candles. Order any one of these and prepare for compliments at your next dinner party.
