- Choose a theme
Choosing a theme is probably one of the most important factors in the process of turning your home luxury. A theme is going to be your direction to decorate and will give you sort of a basic guideline when choosing a new interior for your home.
After you have a theme in your mind, finding suitable furniture would be your first task on the checklist. Ask yourself, “which interior am I willing to spend a bit more on?”, “which interior items can i settle for?”. If you do have a budget that you must stick to, consider purchasing lavish furniture for the most used areas in your home, i.e, your living room, kitchen, bedroom. If you aren't working under a specific budget, consider spending our high-end furniture that go along with your chosen theme.
- Find Your Inspiration
Luxury doesn't mean the same thing for everyone. For some, it could be a minimalistic and smart home. For others, it could be a classic home with velvet curtains, fancy chandeliers and a grand pool in the backyard. It really varies.
For your specific home, you will have to examine the space you have and imagine what you can do with it. Maybe you can install a mini jacuzzi and place some plants, or even add a pool if your backyard is a little bigger. Try searching through some home designs catalogs to find inspiration or even going to showrooms for a more hand-on experience.
- Modern Art
There is nothing beautiful art can't fix. Art gives a creative touch to the house and adds some interest to it. Try to keep your personality still intact in your house, because after all, it is YOUR home! Add art that speaks to you and that gives you the feelings you wish to have when you enter your home. Whether it be a relaxing ocean painting, or a fiery and colorful scenery.
Like a painting or something modern that you found in a creative exhibition, or a couple of rustic, old-fashioned lanterns to hang outdoors. These small things can change the whole vibe of the house. And the most amazing part is that you don't have to invest a lot in art! even one or two things would make the difference.
- Highlight the House
We can all agree that a touch of shiny metal highlights is a dealbreaker in turning a home luxury. Something like copper or silver lamps, or a nice rich-looking teapoy that can accentuate the living room decor.
Consider glass flower vases or dark-colored vases, which can help give a glamorous touch to your home. Also, adding pillow covers and bed sheets made of silk or velvet can give your bedroom a rich and lavish feel.
The key is not to overdo it. Just sprinkle the highlights in the house to give the natural glow. Otherwise, too much of it would make it seem fake.
- Add Lavish Lightings
Lighting arrangements in your house are going to be a cherry on top, and it's the one thing that you absolutely cannot forget.
You are lucky if you get natural sunlight throughout your house in daylight. But even if not, some accent lights in the corner can highlight the room.
If you're looking for a grandeur gesture, consider adding a large chandelier in your home’s entrance. If you are looking for a more minimal feel, consider smart lights that can be changed per the mood. There are so many different lighting options to choose from, but if you stick to your theme, you shouldn't have a problem finding the perfect one(s).
