Do you want a luxurious looking home? Of course you do! Do you want to do it quickly and at a low cost?? Now that answer is a definite yes! Well, in today’s video I give you seven tips on how to instantly make your home look luxurious. These tips are based upon 7 features that all luxury homes have in common. If you implement these seven interior design tips, any space will look luxurious and high end. It isn’t always about the products that you put in a space, but about HOW you place those items in a space. This is a video full of genuine examples on how to achieve “the luxe look for less” also known as my specialty, haha. In today’s video we discuss chandeliers, organization, natural light, artificial light, flow, staging, backsplashes, and wall color.
What tip in today’s video was most useful to you? Let’s chat about it in the comments below.

Can you make a video similar to this but apartment rental friendly? I just moved in and trying to find ways to make my apartment feel like home without ruining it. Please! I am so hooked on your channel and IG
Same. Still renting and don't want to mess up the house
I'm a renter too and one thing I learned is that command strips are your friend.
@@RS-xq4hf You could turn off the electricity? We can't.
@@653j521 All apartment buildings are able to turn off your electrical for JUST your apartment. If your fusebox isn't IN your apartment then it will be accessible by the superintendent. You might need to coordinate a time with them to flick your switch for an hour but it only takes ten minutes to switch out a light so that's plenty of time. It's actually SUPER easy to do. Just find a youtube tutorial and you'll see how easy it is. And yes, just hold on to the original and put it back before moving out.
MOST of these ideas are renter friendly, just with a few tweaks or thought. I've applied all of these to rentals over the years. The tricky part can be where to put the stuff you are taking out. If you discuss with the landlord about where to store things they may be willing to put things in a basement or furnace room. Any time you upgrade a rental they rarely argue UNLESS it's a strata. Stratas are just evil period.
"change out your lighting for chandeliers" Me, sitting in south Texas with a ceiling fan in every room spinning at top speed to deal with Texas heat. Yeah, that isn't happening. 😆
Yup! 😂
@@cassidyfromtexas4324 we should petition the state government to declare ceiling fans the official state "chandelier".
I’m in Florida and almost every room in our house came with a ceiling fan,including the laundry room.. but the dining room has a chandelier..yay!
Every room? Dang that would suck…
@@bnb0510 keeps things cool.
How design cycles is fascinating. I grew up, as many of my generation, with the living room we called the "museum room" in the front and no one was allowed to live in it. Mom guarded that room with all of her might. It was always impeccable. As I grew up, married and had children, the "great room" was all the rage...knock down the living room wall and have one big room...Now, the living room is back...LoL!! Love your channel because you make style accessible by explaining the principles behind it. Kiva you rock!
Yes, my grandma had an off limits living room and so did my mom. I do not like open concept although my house is slightly open concept with walls. I wanted a separate living and family rooms when I was looking for my house.
Bear G-ma The grass is always greener. :)
And why do they call it a "living" room? I had a friend when I was growing up and the very first time I ever entered the "living room" was for my wedding shower when I was 19. My family, however, was poor and we lucky to have furniture.
You’re gifted! The flow of your voice and the actual messaging is excellent.
Thank you so much, Jeanne!
I agree. You are gifted and approachable.
Personally ...I decorate my home to make me and my family happy. We live here,we deserve to be in a space we love to be in. We still keep a general vibe in the main living areas but we most definitely have a mid century eclectic style. People who come over like it as well because they say it's comfortable. I've even heard that it reminds someone of being t their grandparents yet modern and stylish. We mix old with new with a dash of curiosities.
I've been watching a lot of design videos this week and everyone has contradictory advice about everything from backsplashes to plant materials. I like your style and advice the best.
Kiva, I truly think you're the designer out there.
You use common sense, which makes things easier to do.
Changing out lighting was one of the first things l did when l purchased my home.
Speaking of lighting; you add light to the world girlfriend! It’s a pleasure to see people with their “ internal lights turned on”. You are fun and it shows. Thanks for the bright tips! 💖🦩
We bought a really outdated but structurally sound 120 year old farmhouse.
We updated the light fixtures and ceiling fans before we moved in. We also painted all the walls in shades of neutral gray to bring more cohesiveness to the space.
We couldn't afford to overhaul the kitchen right off the bat so we painted the cupboards and put up a contact paper (vinyl) backsplash to cover up the untreated beadboard.
White trim.
Ivory drapes to the floor.
Big unique art.
Storage pieces with doors and drawers to stash all the clutter.
Rugs big enough for the space.
I live in a small home - a mobile home, no less (we are NOT knocking the mobile home. But there are intrinsical structure and build differences! There are also differences in building material, sizing, and flow!)
I am currently designing the dream vision for our house, and the FIRST THING I designed was the organization. Organization came *first* - I chose furniture that dual serves as storage, chose lifted or taller furniture to put organization under, as well as taking MAXIMUM advantage of vertical space! I did things like take my ugly extra large dog crate for my fur baby, adding a simple frame and topper to it, painted it, and now it dual serves an under TV console table, while also serving as a table top in our living room! So now we have space for decor and simple design elements, while also housing our baby when we aren't home, or when she sleeps at night!
The HARDEST part of it all was designing it to accommodate 5 people. Sizing down furniture was *rough* because I didn't want to sacrifice the quality of comfort for down sizing. We have 5 butts to seat during TV time, 5 butts to seat during dinner time, and 5 heads to lay at night! Our home wasn't designed for 5 people, size-wise. But you figure it out as you go!
I also had the concern of making my beautiful home "kid proof" - using matte paint? Not gonna happen! It'd not durable enough for sticky hands, crayons and dirt! Lol
Floors? Can't do anything that kids can't spill on in the living room and kitchen,, or splash on in the bathroom.
There are design struggles NO MATTER WHAT. You eventually get your sea legs. 🖤🖤
For those that the biggest draw back is financial; do not fret! One piece at a time. One furniture item at a time, one set of dishes at a time.
It may take you a year to get your main spaces done, but guess what? You did it! And then you have time to *sit* on the pieces you have and decide If you like them. Just because a furniture piece looks cool, doesn't mean itll function in your space or with your lifestyle!
This was a great video for beginners. Keep up the amazing work!
I always wanted a strawberry themed house...vermillion red, green and cream. Each room emphasizing a different one of those colours.
When I was growing up, my grandparents’ front room was always ready and staged just in case the insurance man came over. 😏😂
Hahaha that is funny
My great grandparents had a room like that...there was a running joke that they had it set up in case the president or the pope decided to drop in.
Niki ... my did too 🤣😂🤣
😂🤣😅 I remember too 🤣😂
Girl Yess! Saturday Morning at 11am
Does anyone else watch with their earbuds/earphones...then nod in agreement when Kiva shares something you agree with, like she's talking to you alone? Or is it just me!❤😏. Great job as always dear. Really glad l lucked up on your channel!
Me too!!
I thought we were going to escape with no reference to the 'Dollar store' but no 🙁😂 Love your videos and advice, really 👍🏻❤️
I have a friend who just made her own modern paintings by just splashing it on.
She had them framed and it looked gorgeous.
This is my most favorite video in all of UA-cam!! 🙌 I would ♥️ to see an hour long video of you explaining “flow”. It’s a hard one to grasp for me
Thanks so much Tori! You’re too sweet!
I just bought a chandelier from RH and the electrician was like “I hate installing RH lights”! 😂
Why did he say that?
@@uaoj31 he just said they’re always a pain to install. Also in a round about way said the quality sucked for the price but I already knew that.
He's just a winer. lol
@@judithlalande2773 honestly I initially thought maybe that was the case because he was the actual owner of the company. Fast forward to today and after installing all of my lighting in my home (new build) I can say without a doubt they were both correct. I have been there for all fixture install. Had a smaller RH one that wasn’t too bad but this bigger chandelier is causing all kind of issues because of the mounting system. It’s become a real pain in the ass hut luckily they’re determined to get it up. Fingers crossed!
Great video! I totally agree with having manicured rooms. I live in a center hall colonial house: formal living room on one side and formal dining room on the other. Some people believe that I am wasting space since these rooms are not used that often. However, I love them. They are carefully decorated with things that I love and they are beautiful. You are right, these are the rooms that people see when they enter my home and I always receive compliments. I have a comfy family room on the back of the house and I have an eat-in (do people still use that term?) kitchen that we live in. I just love knowing that I have these other beautiful spaces to entertain guests. It works for me. Everyone has to find what fits their lifestyle and gives them pleasure.
I love how your tips apply to different styles. Thank you!!!
I try to make all of my content accessible!
That tip about staging an underused room is GENIUS! You are so right that it can easily become a catch-all room. ❤️
Porcelain tile that looks like marble👏🏻💡it cuts easily for the do it you selfer 🤫👏🏻🥂
Kiva I’ve been so addicted to your videos! My husband and I are in the process of downsizing and you have such amazing/ brilliant tips. We are on a major budget but you make me realize it’s possible to create the home of our dreams without spending a ton of money. Thank you for all your amazing content!
I had a house built and the first thing I did was add beautiful lights in all the main rooms, it changed the space instantly and did not break the bank at all. Lighting is the key to a well curated home!!
Ohhh!! I’m sure it looks fantastic. Where did you get your lights from?
We are buying a home and I am so excited!!! So I am preparing by watching your channel.
Omg congratulations on buying a home!! 💕
So glad to hear you mention the “staged” room because I have one. No dogs, cats or husband allowed. I have French doors on the entrance to the room. I thoroughly enjoy that space
Elevated and not a lot of money?? Sign me up!!! Yay
Sis, love love love your channel. I find myself gasping for air on your behalf! You get it all said in 10 minutes or less! #staygifted
Oh, YAY! I just ordered new curtains for the bedroom! They arrived the other day and they are a raw linen! I’m ahead of the style curve for once…now for the rest of the room…😂♥️
Ooohhh, I know they are going to look fantastic!
@@KivaBrent I’m SO excited!!
You sold the hell our out of that Cricut! 🤣👏🏽👏🏽
Great video
Right??? I have that same Cricut and she just convinced me to buy the new one. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 LOL this is too funny!!! Thank you!
Love all white walls! It’s a great backdrop. Have you ever wallpapered a closet? My daughter in law has me hooked on this and I’m not a big wallpaper person but in the closet it’s fun. I love that you talked about flow, I hate when people have mismatched rooms.
Thank you KB for all that you do. I was so glad that a chandelier was first on your list. I finally figured out my design style is modern with a touch of Parisian. I had decided to add a medallian along with the chandelier since the room has a twelve foot ceiling. So excited to purchase. Thanks again.
A former neighbour of mine who is a builder and does renovationprojects told me that one way to trick the eye to an airy feel is to have the paint from the ceiling reach down at the walls a decimeter or two. This might be pointless if you already have high ceiling but it makes some difference if you live in a standard apartment or a parcelhouse built with energyconsumption costs in thought, like the 70s "parcelhouse" or afterwards where the room tend to have a boxy feel.
I like the staged room tip - it actually makes me feel better about my front room 😆. It’s always been pretty and is so easy to keep tidy and clean - but I noticed I wasn’t using it as much in the evenings. I think it was because of the lighting. I’m in the process of remedying that.
Can you do a video on doing a child’s room?
Thanks KB as always I love your content! You show us different styles, the beauty in each one on top of keeping it educational! Continue giving us the best of all things that represent interior design🥰
This is such a sweet message, Cassandra, thank you!
This was so helpful! Amazing as always! Thanks, Kiva 🙌♥️
Yes the cricut has my home so organized, best purchase ever!
Haha I loved your idea about the stage room ☺️ all this time I thought I was alone with my black and very white sitting room, as a staged room.... (I have even created a television room as a family gathering room, just to have a staged room)
This was yet another great video. Thank you so much. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Love this video! Can you please do a video on how to purchase lamps for the living room and bedroom. I have a hard time finding the right size for those areas. Thanks
Thank you KB! Your tips and advice is always so helpful! :)
Great suggestions. Thanks for including comments on traditional style. The Chef Boyardee reference cracked me up!
Again I love your energy!!!

This was great! The idea of having a flow to the house was such a nice addition to the video. I didn't think too much about that. 🤔 Time to move some things around. 😁
Thank you! I always learn something new about design on your channel. You are doing an awesome job!
I love you u just get to the subject’s that ur going to speak about so eloquently!!!’🤩🤩
YES! I love my Cricut, I knew I would use it but I had no idea how much.I love all of your tips!
Amazing video! So helpful. When we first moved into our house we made that front room a playroom for the kids and I regret that decision dailyXD
I love your channel. Thanks for all the amazing ideas.
Thanks for watching, Jessica! I appreciate you!
She’s the best!
I enjoy watching your videos so much! I always go from them with new ideas and motivation!
Your tips are the best thank you 😊
Thank you!!!!
Love that CB2 Chandelier ❤️🥰
It’s so cute!
Love it!
Your tips are amazing! So glad I discovered your channel. I have learned so much plus I love your practical down to earth approach. Thank you!
I have a huge chandelier in my apt entry way, folks rave about. Well unless your 7 ' tall you would not know that all the crystals are acrylic , the light still gives that glow and it has the oval light screw ins ... it was a chandelier KIT! Cost about $30 , different designs, you just hang from the frame they send. Pass on great for luxe on the cheap! :) Love your videos , a fellow Pittsburgher transplanted to New York. LOVE YOU !
Me snacking on this popcorn as I suck up all this information from professor KB😊🍿
I am totally in love with you and soooo grateful for your endless ideas and tips. you make so much sense!!! Have to say though that the cricut letters on your towels looked seriously tacky... embroidered monogrammed properly would look so much better.
I want chandeliers in every room but I need my fans but thank you that I discovered the “Fandelier “ 😍
Enjoyed this video. Thanks Kiva.
Thanks so much for watching Michelle! 💕
Best video ! This is what I needed to better understand how to create a more cohesive home.
