What comes to mind when you think about luxury for your home? Chances are you automatically go to the big things, i.e., the chandeliers or the sweeping statement staircase or the tub in the bedroom that overlooks your yard with views for miles.
And these are indeed exquisite things to have in your home, but they’re not the only things that can elevate your home and give you that taste of luxury you’ve been craving.
Sometimes it’s not about how much you spend, it’s what you do with what’s available to you that makes all the difference and makes your home feel more luxurious.
Sumptuous Bathrooms and Rainfall Showers
If you’ve ever wished you could have that hotel shower experience at home, you can. Think overhead rainfall showers, oversized tubs, mood lighting, and muted color schemes. And you step into the shower, suddenly you’re not grabbing a quick shower before work, you’re transported to a beachfront hotel as the warm water cascades over your body.
Easy Access and Automatic Gates
This might not be the first thing you think of when you think of luxury home additions, but stick with us. Not all luxury is plush fabrics and expensive price tags. Sometimes it’s those small things that make life easier. That makes sense and just works. Take the gate opener.
Opting for an automatic gate opener installation means you can say goodbye to struggling to get into your property in the rain or having to stop to get out of your car to manually open the gate. You just glide in unbothered with one less thing you have to worry about.
Inviting Layers
Luxury, as mentioned, is about what you do with what’s available, and layering doesn’t mean splashing out on new materials. It can be working with what you have to make things feel more comfortable and elevated. It’s the soft rugs you layer on your hardwood floors. A velvet throw over a linen sofa, different-textured cushions, and so on. It’s the combination of different textures that sit well together that gives depth and definition to the space without overwhelming it, but simply integrating into the decor as it was designed exactly like this.
Curated Scents
If you cast your mind to the most luxurious place you have ever been to, chances are you’ll remember the smell, and that scent can instantly transport you back there.
To recreate this in your own home, you need to be careful about the scents you use to create a fragrance that is synonymous with your home and makes you feel good. From the candle in the hallway to the diffuser in the living room and the fresh eucalyptus in the bathroom, your home’s scent can set the tone before you even kick off your shoes. Because scents have this knack of pulling things together, of creating an atmosphere and really making one feel.
Mood Lighting
This one doesn’t just mean dimming the lights for some romantic time; it’s about creating an environment with your lighting that works well for the room and your home’s style as a whole. You need to layer lighting; soft overhead lights, floor lamps, wall lights, spotlights, etc, and use them all to create a luxury lighting experience that simply transforms your home.
