How can you make a home more luxurious? It’s not an easy question to answer because luxury is quite a vague term. There are certain ideas that are always going to exude an air of luxury though. It’s just about finding which of those ideas are right for you and your home.
We’re all constantly looking for ways to improve our home, but coming up with the right ideas at the right price isn’t always an easy thing to do. Here are some suggestions to get you thinking, but remember, tailor the outcomes to your own needs.
Make Your Bathroom into a Spa
The first changes to make to your bathroom should be the
fixtures and fittings. If there’s one room in the house you should make luxurious, it’s the bathroom, so the decor should be as relaxed and high-end as possible.
If you want real luxury, you should add a heated floor and a jacuzzi bathtub. These things don’t come cheap, but they offer you a sure-fire way of achieving a luxurious bathroom finish. The lighting and extras are important too.Get some new towels and add soaps and candles around the room.
Install a Wood Burner
Fireplaces are great shortcuts to luxury. And you’ll appreciate them on those cold winter nights when you’re enjoying the warmth and atmosphere they provide. The best kind of fireplace, in my opinion, is the old-fashioned
wood burner. No electric or gas fireplace can offer the same luxurious tone to a room the way a wood burner can.
It’s not too difficult to install one yourself either. You can pick up an old abandoned wood burner pretty cheaply and then renovate it to create a nice, authentic effect. You’ll obviously need to make sure your chimney is safe to use and connect up all the right parts.
Put a Pool in Your Garden
Every luxury home has a luxury garden too. And what kind of luxury garden doesn’t have a swimming pool in it? You don’t have to be a rock star or movie icon to have a pool in your garden; they’re a realistic option for anyone with the space and desire to get the job done.
Companies like
BioNova Natural Pools offer something even more different. Natural pools offer a chemical free swimming area with plants and wildlife growing around the edge! And if you don’t want to go for a full-size swimming pool, you could always go for a hot tub.
Add Lavish Lighting
You should never underestimate the power of lighting in creating a luxurious atmosphere in a home. You can add all the right decoration and furniture, but if the lighting is wrong, the whole room is wrong.
Make sure the lighting is tailored to the size, shape and type of room. What works in the kitchen won’t necessarily work in the hall. If you have high ceilings, consider a chandelier, they can look great and make a room feel truly grand.
Don’t Forget the Small Touches
The small things are often the bits and pieces that make all the difference in the home. The great things about them is that they aren’t expensive, so you can make big changes through small items, without breaking the bank. Try recycling old, disused items to create something unique and interesting.
