Designers say this 1 unassuming and affordable feature will make your home look more expensive

When designing a room, there is often a focus on the big stuff – the colors, the furniture, the flooring. Of course, these bigger decisions are key, but when it comes to making the home look more expensive, designers say it's the small (but mighty) touches that make all the difference.

I recently asked designers what one thing they thought always made a room look more expensive, more elevated and put together, and the answer was unanimous – hardware. Door knobs, cabinet handles and draw pulls, the feedback was that this small feature can make or break a home.



Although unassuming, hardware is an impactful accessory that strays from just kitchen cabinet hardware ideas and can pack plenty of punch when done well. Whether you're starting with an entirely blank canvas and giving a newly built home some character or you want to make your period property feel more authentic, a simple chic brass doorknob, vintage drawer pulls, or an ornate cabinet handle can make a room feel bespoke, sophisticated, and eternally chic.
