11 Small Interior Details That Can Secretly Make It Look Cheap

Visual noise

Items lying around create visual noise, which diminishes the overall interior design. Designers share possible solutions to this problem. For example, niches effectively hide clutter without taking up space.

 

However, visual noise can also be reduced using simpler yet equally practical methods. For instance, designer Reynard Lowell recommends choosing a decorative tray or basket for small items, or designating specific drawers for particular things.

Shower curtain

 

Designers often prefer shower curtains over glass doors. However, despite their practicality and ease of use, shower curtains can make a bathroom look cheaper, especially if they are colorful and flashy.

Designers suggest hiding curtains behind special niches: this way, they don’t draw attention, making the interior appear neater and more upscale. As an alternative solution, one can consider solid-colored curtains in more subdued tones.
