1. Sorting Items
Less is more. Basically, a clean home comes from a functional home – a home where everything in it has a place and a purpose. Functional homes only have items that make your life better and easier. Take an item in your home and ask yourself, "Does this item make my life better or easier?" If not, sell it, donate it, or throw it away. Take the time to tidy up your closet, garage, or kitchen, and get rid of items that are no longer useful in your life. Your home will naturally become cleaner and more functional. And, it will seem expensive because everything you have now has a purpose. The fewer items you have in your home, the more time you will save on cleaning the house and furniture.
2. Get Organized (And Organizers)
Houses that are organized or well-organized will seem more expensive than those that are not. The cupboard is not full of things. Well-organized and organized pantry. Make cupboards and drawers have a purpose. Everything has its own purpose and place. And there's no trash lying around or hiding. If you want your home to look expensive without spending money on expensive home decor, get an organizer for everything. For example, such as a basket or box organizer, which are powerful and appropriate organizers for organizing the equipment you have. This organizer can be used on an office desk to keep your desk tidy. Kitchen organizer to store food cans, kitchen utensils, pots, and pans more efficiently. Bathroom organizer for storing toiletries. Drawer organizer to maximize your clothes storage space Using an organizer system, such as a closet system with shelves for clothes, bags, and shoes, will make your home look nicer, more organized, and tidier.

3. Keep The Dishes Out Of The Sink
A quick and easy way to make your home look cleaner and classier is to keep dishes away from the sink. Make it a habit to wash your cutlery or put it straight into the dishwasher after eating instead of letting it pile up in the sink.
4. No Shoe Inside
If you want to make your home look expensive and stay that way for years, then you need a "no shoes inside" rule. Yes, some may find this burdensome, but it's not if you really think about it. No shoes inside mean no traces of dirt around your home. That means you mop less. So less work for you and keep your house clean. Think of a design and interior magazine. Do you imagine shoes all over the floor? Not! Shoes are hidden or placed in a shoe rack. That's why have a quality shoe rack, especially one that looks sophisticated and matches your home décor.

5. Get A Fun Handled Vacuum
When cleaning takes too much effort, it drains a lot of energy and has its own burden. For example, sometimes using a vacuum cleaner can not clean up the corner of the room, so it leaves dust left behind because the size of the vacuum cleaner can't reach the corner of the room and must be disassembled to a smaller size so that it can clean the dust in the corner of the room. Therefore, have a practical vacuum cleaner that can also clean up to the corner of the room. That way the activity of cleaning the house is faster, more effective, and efficient of course.

6. Have a Coffee Maker
Having a coffee maker at home is a dream for some people. Plus, having a coffee maker makes your home look expensive. Moreover, if it is stored in your clean kitchen, it will certainly save you money in the long run. Because making coffee at home will save you a lot of money compared to going to coffee shop every day.
7. Buy Functional Products
It is very important to have a functional product to carry out daily activities. Before you buy anything, ask yourself, "Will this make my life better?" If not, don’t spend money on it. For example, would your life be easier if you had a coat rack? If so, then buy a coat rack. But, if you don't have a lot of coats or you already have a special wardrobe for coats, then you don't need a coat rack anymore. When you're shopping, remember, in an expensive-looking home everything has a purpose and a place. If what you want to buy serves no purpose or makes your life more functional, then there's no need to buy it.
