Your home is your pride and joy. It is where you come to relax, wind down and spend time with your loved ones, but it is also a representation of you.
You want a house that you are proud of and adding a bit of luxury isn’t as difficult as you think, especially if you follow these seven interior design tips for luxurious living.
1. Avoid Clutter
Mess and clutter are the complete opposite of luxury. You never see pictures of perfect show homes with things scattered all over the place. When it comes to luxury design, everything needs its place. Find some innovative storage solutions, keep electricals and wires out of sight and keep everything neat and tidy.
2. Neutrals and Minimalism
When going for luxury design, sticking to neutral hues and minimalist features is essential. Working with plain backgrounds gives you the creative freedom to add colour and other features in different ways, and you can change this whenever you like. But minimalism also gives you that fresh, clean-cut feeling that is vital if luxury is what you want to achieve.
3. Textures and Materials
One way to add colour and variation is through using different materials and textures in your decoration. Patterned rugs look sophisticated and stylish as statement pieces, as does including pillows or cushions in various colours and textures and having perfectly placed blankets and throws to brighten up the room.
Varying textures and materials throughout your home will certainly add a luxurious feel to your home.
4. Incorporate Layers
Layering is a trick used by all interior designers to create luxurious finishing touches. This involves having different features at different levels, and having a minimal background really helps with this. There are so many ways to add layers, be it through artwork, vases, shelving, bookcases, and vignette arrangements. Textures and lighting can also contribute to this luxury style technique.
5. Use Feature Lighting
Lighting is often overlooked, and many people opt for plain and simple light fixtures, but the right lighting can really bring together the style of the room and add a sophisticated touch of luxury. Using luxurious lighting as a statement piece in your kitchen or living room will really elevate the overall look and add ambience.
6. Add a Touch of Green
Adding houseplants is an easy way to uplift any room. They add a pop of colour, can be used as statement pieces, and are a great way to add texture and layering to a room. You can get creative when choosing plant pots to add pattern and colours; plus, there are actually a whole load of benefits to having plants in your home.
7. Finishing Touches
The smallest details can make all the difference in a luxury look. Choose finishing touches that are sophisticated, elegant and cohesive; make small arrangements of candles, books and other interesting but stylish ornaments to create perfectly designed vignettes and give your overall look a refined, luxurious feel.
If you want to up your interior design game and take your style to the next level of luxury, this is a great place to start.
