HOW TO LIVE LIKE A CELEBRITY (ON A BUDGET)

You don't need a mansion or a personal chef to infuse your home with celebrity-inspired luxury. With thoughtful touches and smart choices, you can create a space that feels glamorous and cozy. Here's how to bring that star-studded vibe into your everyday life without breaking the bank.

CREATE A SHOW-STOPPING ENTRYWAY
Your home's entrance sets the mood. Add a stylish mirror, a patterned rug, or a sleek console with a bold lamp. A vase of fresh flowers or a candle with a signature scent can boost the vibe. Get inspired with these entryway decor ideas.

INDULGE IN AT-HOME SPA EXPERIENCES
You don’t need a resort or resort prices to relax! Use plush towels, eucalyptus oil, and a bath tray to build your spa moment. Add soft lighting or flameless candles to bring calm. Try these budget-friendly spa tips to treat yourself.

Think candlelight, glassware that gleams, and a vibe that feels like old Hollywood meets modern magic. Need a little inspo? Discover this guide on how host a luxurious party - for less.

ELEVATE YOUR BEDROOM
Want hotel-style luxury at home? Think crisp white bedding, extra pillows, and soft textures. It’s all in the layers. For that extra touch, learn how to make your bed like a high-end hotel.

DESIGN A HOME THEATER EXPERIENCE
Make movie night a production by adding blackout curtains, real bowls of popcorn, and a budget-friendly projector. To keep things cozy and cinematic, steal some ideas from this movie night guide.

INCORPORATE GREENERY
No matter what your home style, plants add instant polish. Try a few in the living room or a small herb garden in the kitchen. Not into watering? Faux plants work too!

PERSONALIZE YOUR SPACE
Celebrities make their homes reflect who they are. To do the same, show off framed art, travel souvenirs, or favorite collections. Make it yours by embracing your quirks and personal design tastes.
