When it comes to giving your home that fancy little je ne sais quoi, it's not about upgrading everything—it's about upgrading the right things. Details like polished appliances, opulent accessories, and other investments can have a major impact on any room and elevate any space, lending your home an upscale (yet un-snooty) vibe. To bring a dose of modern luxury to your entire house, consider these nine things.

1 of 9

Sleek Appliances

Who says functionality can't look fantastic? From the kitchen to the laundry room, investing in top-notch appliances won't just make your life easier—it'll give your rooms a deluxe feel, too.

LG's TurboWash® and SteamDryer™ laundry duo comes in a sleek graphite steel hue, adding a high-end touch to any run-of-the-mill laundry room. (And with quick wash times, extra-large capacities, and steam cleaning and drying technology, they work as great as they look.)

Geometric Details

Geometric details are where clean lines and pattern intersect—and unlike high school geometry class, the trend is both streamlined and interesting.

As far as patterns go, it's also an incredibly versatile look. A honeycomb-patterned decorative cabinet or geometric rug fits right into any room.

Decorative Gold Bookends

Sure, bookshelves do a pretty good job of lining up your favorite novels, but bookends have a decidedly classy feel to them (and they're a great way to accessorize a room without adding out-of-place clutter).

Gold bookends in particular bring a gilded touch to all your literary classics, from To Kill A Mockingbird to Harry Potter.

Coffee Table Books

Sometimes, you can judge a book by its cover. Heavy, oversized coffee table books add dimension to a flat surface. They also give you the opportunity to reflect more of your personality, so go for coffee table books about the topics you love, whether that's travel photography or your favorite band.

5 of 9

An Ultra-Thin TV

There's something about a super-thin TV that embodies the high life—they take up minimal space, and even turned off, they look fancy and streamlined. Take LG's OLED TV, for example. The wallpaper-thin, futuristic design is topped only by its stunning picture quality.

Lush Green Plants

Big, lush leaves add a touch of soothing greenery to any space—with just a hint of jungle drama. And, with the right care, they last much longer than fresh flowers. (Especially if you go for a convincing faux plant. No one has to know!)

An Oversized Candle

Nothing says luxury like an ultra-fancy candle. For max effect, splurge on a big one—even when it's not lit, it'll add cozy ambiance to any room. Burn it on special occasions, or light it up to treat yourself on the occasional rainy day.

Bold Lighting Fixtures

Interesting lighting fixtures can seriously brighten up a room, and we're not just talking about lumens. As far as decorative elements go, they pack a major punch and add an element of modern grandeur. Go for something big and bold in your kitchen, living room, or entryway.

A Statement Rug (Or Two)

A statement rug has the power to pull together all the pieces in a room, and it's an accessible way to pump up a space with pattern and color. For bonus points, layer two rugs together for a look plucked right off of an interior designer's vision board.
