When it comes to decor and interior design, luxury can be defined as being elegant but comfortable, precise and with an attention to detail, and all-together personalised to an individual’s taste and room design. If you’re looking to add a touch of luxury to your home, there are a few simple tricks and tips you can follow.
Remove any clutter
A clutter-free environment instantly feels more upscale. Getting rid of items that you no longer use, or storing your belongings away to keep your clutter organised can give your home that classy minimalist feel. Sleek and spacious storage solutions like walk-in wardrobes and chic baskets can help you achieve this look.
Quality over quantity
Overdecorating and cramming your home full of random bits of homeware can make a room feel overwhelming. Instead, focus on investing in a few high-quality pieces of furniture, artwork, or decor. A statement art piece will have a big impact. Just make sure to choose something that fits in well with the rest of your traditional design vision.
Specific lighting
Selecting good lighting can make a big difference to both the mood and the look of a home. Adding a reading light to your bedside table is a quick way to add a touch of luxury, while wall and ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can make a big design statement, too. Big light fixtures like these also allow you to add touches of colour and texture to your home, which will also make it feel more high-brow.
For smaller, more personalised luxury touches, try built-in LED lighting on your kitchen countertops. Additionally, dimmer switches can help you control the intensity of your lighting, meaning you can adjust it depending on the seasons and what sort of mood you want in the room.
Choose your fabrics wisely
Fabrics like silk, velvet or cashmere, come with their own luxurious connotations. And it doesn’t have to be ultra-expensive to bring these fabrics into the interior design of your home. Before you buy these materials, make sure to familiarise yourself with how to care for them. For example, researching how to properly care for cashmere.
Another easy way to introduce more elegant fabrics is to invest in a pure cotton or linen bedspread. Not only are these materials super affordable, but they look and feel amazing on your skin.
Making your home look and feel more luxurious doesn’t have to be difficult – or expensive. By removing all your clutter, choosing specific statement interior pieces, selecting unique light fixtures, and investing in some luxury fabrics, you can quickly add a touch of luxury to your home.
