Owning a high-end home is easier than one would think. Sure, location and architecture have a part to play in luxury. However, you can also give your property an elevated look by making some aesthetic changes. Creating a beautiful and luxurious interior will also help you increase the sale price if you ever choose to put your home on the market. If you want to elevate your home to a more luxurious level, here are nine elements you must include.
Perfect your entrance
First impressions are everything, so don’t neglect the entrance of your house. You can create a cute welcome nook by adding a side table, plants, and a decorative bowl to put your keys upon entering.
Marble top counters
If we had to pick the most luxurious material in the world, it would be marble. However, if you’re going to incorporate this element into your design you’ll need to learn a few marble cleaning techniques to keep it looking beautiful.
Landscaping
All the best homes have beautiful gardens and well-thought-out landscapes. If you have a green-thumb this is an excellent and rewarding DIY project to get stuck into. Just make sure to plan before you get stuck in.
Use mirrors
Even if you are working with limited space, you can create the illusion of a bigger home by using mirrors. Not only do they make rooms look instantly larger, but they also make areas look brighter.
Hang curtains up high
Another way to create the illusion of a larger space is by hanging up curtains higher than the window frame. Curtains that fall to the floor can add a luxurious feel to the room.
Smart gadgets
Turning your home into a smart home can help improve your day-to-day convenience and the future sale price of your home. Think of including things like multiroom audio or invisible charging outlets.
Keep it de-cluttered
If you look in the pages of luxury interior design magazines, you’ll notice all the homes are free of clutter. Don’t make your home look smaller than it is by overcrowding the room with unnecessary items.
Stand alone bathtubs
If you’re planning a bathroom renovation in the near future, you need to include a stand-alone bathtub in your plans. You can opt for a traditional or more modern rendition; the choice is yours.
Add large rugs
If you add a rug to your living room, you should try to ensure all your furniture fits above it. It’s best to stick to minimalist prints to avoid anything looking outdated in the future.
Overall, these elements should help your home feel luxurious. You don’t have to tackle all areas at once. If you’re working with a budget, start small and work your way up to the larger renovations. Slowly but surely, you’ll be living a life of luxury.
