1. Embrace minimalism
Notes:
- No one likes the sight of clutter and nothing makes your apartment or home look less sophisticated than piles of junk and clutter everywhere.
- If you want to truly make your home more modern and chic, consider embracing minimalism. In other words, the idea that less is more.
- Keep only essentials visible. That means avoid bogging down your space with unnecessary items. It also means trying to find a balance between designer pieces and vintage items that add some glamour without breaking the bank.

2. Choose modern styles and calm colors
Notes:
- Instead of springing for the bright, bold colors that were once your go-to choice, choose modern styles and calm colors that bring a collected, sophisticated feel to anyone’s room or home.
- Think softer, understated hues like sage, crisp white, taupe, silver, beige, light grey and sky blue. These colors can help bring serenity and peace to your home while transforming it into a classy, grown-up space.
- Reinvent your décor and style by choosing the colors that best suit your personal tastes and make your home feel chicer.

3. Add crown molding
Notes:
- Crown molding can help bring the ceiling and walls together, while adding just the right amount of elegance to a room without going overboard.
- And since crown molding isn’t too expensive, especially the plastic kind, you’ll be able to upgrade your home on any budget.
- For the best outcome, consider the widest trim you can afford. And, if you want to go even further, think about adding other types of molding, such as columns, ceiling beams, high baseboards, chair rails or ceiling medallions.

4. Consider hardware floors
Notes:
- Not only are hardwood floors easier to clean, but they also last longer than carpets, which makes them a much better investment than wall-to-wall carpeting.
- They’re also a better choice if you’re going for contemporary home décor and provide a more luxurious appearance than carpets.
- Now, you have a few options when it comes to choosing the right hardwood floors, including cherry, oak and birch. You could also add an area rug to tie everything in the room together. Find an area rug that complements the colors of your walls and ceilings.
