Adding luxury and style to your property is an excellent way to make your home stand out and create a more sophisticated and elegant living space.
The best part is you don’t need to spend copious amounts of money to make it luxurious. In this case, the devil is in the details, and paying attention to those minor aspects of the home design that can fly under the radar is crucial. These small details, when carefully considered, can create a look and feel that represents who you are and elevates your design standards in one fell swoop. They are not to be underestimated, as they can significantly impact your home’s overall aesthetic.
So, what should you focus on when it comes to home design and style and adding luxury?
The Finish
While choosing good quality products and literals is, of course, an excellent way to add style and luxury, it’s sometimes not so, but what you buy or even how much you spend. It’s how it’s finished. ‘Finish’ in home design refers to the final surface or appearance of a material or product. Even the cheapest, most basic materials and products can stand out when completed the right way. Whether this is using a tile installation company to help your tilework stand and ensure there are no mistakes, just clean lines and statement tiles, or using a painting contractor or decorator to help you avoid common painting and wallpapering errors to give you an understated stylish look on your walls, pay attention to how the work is completed to give you the finish you need to create the look you’re aiming for.
Hardware
Your kitchen units, for example, might be basic, but you can give them a touch of sophistication and elegance by simply updating the hardware. If there is nothing physically wrong with them and they aren’t damaged, instead of replacing the units as a whole, replace the hardware. This can be done to many aspects of your home, including faucets, two handles, light sockets, electrical outlets, and more. Those small details can pull a look and style together and create the vibe you’re aiming for.
Light
Lighting plays a massive part in how a room looks and feels and is instrumental in creating the elegant ambiance you’re working toward. It’s not just about brightness, but about creating the right mood and atmosphere. Ideally, you will want to flood the room with as much natural light as possible. From here, you need to add lighting at different levels and layer it to help you create the feel of the room. Use windows, ceiling, wall, lamps, and cabinet lighting to build your light across the room for a more diminished feel to give the space life.
Less Is More
When it comes to creating elegance and style, less is more. If you’re looking for inspiration, one thing you will likely notice is that those homes and spaces you are trying to emulate have fewer items and clutter lying around. That’s not to say you need to remove everything from the display. Simply think about what you add, be intentional, and make it mean something to help you create the style you’re aiming for in the room and your home as a whole.
