Making Your House Look Expensive Is An Art. Here's Your Toolkit.
Share
We’d all love that Shalini Passi aesthetic - rich wife energy, designer everything. But let’s be real, most of us don’t have that budgets or the energy for it.
Here’s the good news - you don’t need a fat bank account to have a chic, expensive-looking home. What you need is taste, intention, and a few smart styling hacks. (Stylist certified trick below)
Let’s break it down:
1. Play with textures and colors. Neutrals are your best friend as they create a cohesive, high-end palette. Glossy + Matte. Wood + Velvet. Stone + Linen.
Layer tones instead of throwing in too many colours.
2. Nothing makes a home feel more “done” than personal touches but keep it minimal. A favourite framed photo or a quirky find from your travels... it’s your story, told stylishly.
3. Even before people see your home, they’ll smell it. Choose scents that feel grown-up and refreshing - florals, woody ambers, or aquatic notes. Light a candle before guests arrive and just watch them go, “What is that amazing smell?”
4. Here's a designer trick - Style in Trios. Imagine a taper candle in a candle holder, a ceramic bowl, and a coffee table book. Suddenly, it’s giving Soho House.
(P.S. Check out our Magnifique candle holders — six sizes, endless chic combinations.)
5. Mirror Placement is a Game-Changer. Mirrors mean more light, more space, more glam. Place one across from a window and see your home glow up.
You don’t need to spend lakhs to look luxe.
You just need an eye for detail, a few clever styling moves, and yes — when it comes to candles and its holders, Rad’s got your back.
