Imagine how fun it would be to have people visit your home and go away thinking how fancy it was. Now imagine that happening and you having achieved that fancy look for very little money. It's a win-win!

We love the idea of having a home that looks really opulent and luxurious, but finding the money to actually achieve that look can be difficult. Not any more though, as we've found some fabulously thrifty and sneaky home furnishing tips, all of which have the interior designer seal of approval.

So, if you want to get the expensive look for less, in every room of your house (from the kitchen to the living room) enjoy these brilliant suggestions!

1. Start a small collection of elegant items that can be displayed somewhere prominent. The key here is to keep it refined, modest and tasteful!

2. Moulding can make all the difference when you're trying to be fancy, so don't scrimp on the coving

3. Always opt for neutral or chalky paint colours if you want your home to look fancy. If in doubt, ask yourself if the Queen would have it in her living room!

4. A smattering of cushions in beautiful fabrics will always raise the profile of a room and increase your style points

5. Window dressings can be a bit hit and miss but, for a luxurious look, heavy drapes are a safe bet. Don't forget the matching tiebacks

6. Considered, complementary lighting is the key to finishing a room really well but, for a fancy touch, don't be afraid to add some crystals

7. Eye-catching hardware in your bathroom, such as flush pulls and cupboard door handles, will take you to new heights of fancy

8. Hardwood floors are the natural choice for creating a fancy feel in your home, so rip up those carpets and hire a sander! Nobody needs to know you did it yourself

9. You don't have to spend the earth to get striking furniture. Simply look for classic pieces in neutral colours and pay attention to the legs as they always give away cheap pieces

10. Having a little sense of humour about your decorating (or an eccentric vibe) will naturally add a little fancy feeling. Quirky desk accessories really work well!

11. Achieving a fancy look can be as simple as just keeping a clean and tidy home. After all, nothing tarnishes a posh glow like having a copy of TV Quick laying around!

12. Wood always injects a fancy feeling wherever it's added (especially dark wood), but boy, can it be pricey. Choose cheaper cuts and stain them yourself for all the fancy but none of the price tag

13. If you're keen to be a little fancier in your home and don't mind splurging occasionally, save up for a piece of statement art once in a while. It's an investment!

14. A minimalist look can help keep your home looking like it belongs in the higher style echelons

15. Spend money where it actually matters, on items such as mixer taps, and don't fritter on unnecessary additions
