5 Ways to Add a Little Luxury to Your Home
What Makes a Home Feel Luxurious?
The word luxurious means extremely elegant and comfortable, and in interior design, a luxurious space is one that’s sophisticated and impressive whilst still feeling warm and inviting.
To create that sumptuous, luxury feel, you need to hone in on the specific and subtle accents in your home, as it’s these small details that will elevate your home’s interior to one that looks and feels luxurious.
Combinations of colours and textures, along with finishing touches such as ornaments and accessories can significantly alter the overall appearance and atmosphere of a space, turning it from somewhere ordinary to somewhere opulent.
Here are just a few ways you can add a little luxury to your home.
Lighting
Layering the lighting in your home will help create depth and atmosphere, as well as highlighting focal points that will draw the eye. Layering lighting doesn’t need to be complicated.
Simply adding ceiling or wall lights with dimmer switch capabilities can make a big difference, as can a pair of table lamps or a strategically placed floor lamp.
Cushions
Use scatter cushions to create a luxury feel in your living room or bedroom. Opt for accent cushions that complement the colour scheme of your room and choose high-quality fabrics with plush inners such as duck feather or wool.
Mix up the sizes, shapes and shades of the cushions you use as this is more pleasing to the eye than uniform cushions of all the same size, shape and colour.
Throws
Throws and blankets make us feel cosy and cherished, which is key to creating a luxury atmosphere. Your throws should make a statement in the same way your cushions do, so don’t be afraid to play with texture and colour here too. Opt for fabrics that feel decadent against the skin, such as silky cashmere or the sumptuous softness of faux fur or teddy fleece.
Fresh Flowers
Fresh flowers have long been a trick of interior designers to quickly and efficiently elevate the look and feel of any room.
A thoughtfully placed vase of fresh flowers can draw the eye and bring a pop of much-needed colour to neutral spaces.
Art
Art has been a symbol of taste, luxury and opulence for centuries. Carefully chosen wall art will not only breathe life into an otherwise ordinary space but also tell guests a story about who you are.
Don’t be afraid to go big and bold with wall art and remember that the framing of a piece is just as important as the piece itself. You could even add feature lighting to highlight your wall art for added wow factor and ambience.
