If you want to create a luxury feeling home, do you really need a massive budget and plenty of money to throw away? Not necessarily! With just a touch or two, you can make any guest walking into your home for the first time feel like they’ve stepped into a high end paradise.
From your living room to your bedroom to the bathroom you know is being secretly judged, you can make your interior feel a lot more luxurious with just a bit of clever design. As such, here are three ideas for bringing out a rich flavor within your space.
A Touch of Gilding
Gilding is the act of adding gold or silver (or another metallic color you like best) to the edges in your home. This helps them to stand out and catch the light, but it also ensures your home has a tried and tested fancy look that works for everyone.
There’s a lot of gilding materials on the market these days, so you don’t need to invest in gold leaf, which was the traditional item for the job. Instead, just buy a can of metallic paint and make sure it’s been made for the type of material you’ll be applying it to.
It doesn’t matter what you want to gild, but try not to go overboard here. You don’t want golden or chrome highlights on everything! Instead, keep the gilding to one or two focal pieces, like the outer wooden pieces of the display case in your hallway or the feet of the bed in your room.
A Beautiful Pattern on the Floor
Flooring can be quite understated in the luxury world. We usually focus on the walls and what’s decorating them, as well as the furniture on top of the floor, but it’s rare to consider the material we’re walking on.
Don’t make that mistake here. The right luxury looking floor makes so much difference to a space, even if you don’t realize it. Indeed, investing in high quality flooring that comes with an attractive pattern can add glorious creativity to the space.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re using tile, wood, carpet, or lino – as long as it’s been made well and draws the eye, it belongs in your home. And if you’ve got the time, you can install your new flooring yourself, which will certainly save on adding this luxury element!
A Lovely Aroma in the Air
Luxury isn’t just about what we see. It’s about what we experience when we first enter a space as well. That’s why no homeowner looking to add a little slice of luxury to their interior should go without a signature scent.
A lovely aroma in the air creates a welcoming feeling when you step through the door. Think about it – every home you’ve visited and loved probably had an air freshener, incense, or a few scented candles placed strategically around!
