Have you ever watched an episode of the "Fabulous Life of…" on VH-1 or even "Cribs" on MTV and have grown progressively more and more bitter because your house doesn't look as flashy and expensive as that fabulous celebrity's? Or do you sit there and wonder what you can do to your home so that it looks just as good as theirs, but without the major price tag? Instead of throwing cookies and your remote control at the TV, why not try and achieve that celebrity style? Easier than you think, the first thing that you can do to change the way your house looks is by investing and installing some new lighting.

Lighting makes all the difference when it comes to style and redecorating. Even if you have nothing but low-end furniture and fake plants around your home, the right lighting can give you the sophisticated, contemporary and even high-end look that you're looking for. As mentioned earlier, this can be easily achieved; let's first start with something simple such as table lamps and floor lamps. When put in the right areas, such as end tables and coffee tables, and corners of the room, you will be able to acquire a soft, mood lighting.

Spot lights and path lighting are a couple other options you can consider if you're looking to get that celebrity feel, and if you have a few more dollars you can spare. You wouldn't think it, but if you have path lights professionally installed into the floor of your home, like say, along the edges of your living room or foyer, you'll be able to deliver a red carpet look. Complete the Hollywood theme with some spot lights, but only sparingly. Spot lights usually work best in groups of three or four and are best for showcasing wall art.

Chandeliers, though much pricier, will tell your guests that you're made out of bling, style and money. Great for foyers, living rooms and dining rooms, chandeliers completely embody the term "celebrity." The trick here is to get one that will actually fit the space of your home and leave the extravagantly large ones for the hotel lobbies. Mix or match these ceiling lights with any or all of the aforementioned lighting styles and you'll have a home fit for showcasing on VH-1 and MTV!
