How to create a luxurious home
The overall impression of a home depends on many components. For example, furniture, flooring, walls and lighting. But curtains and carpets also play an important role. Those who think of luxury associate it not only with noble individual pieces, but also with a tasteful overall composition.
However, high ceilings, noble wooden or stone floors cannot be brought into one's own home at will. Structural conditions, the budget or the status as a tenant put a spanner in the works for many. But there are other starting points for bringing a little luxury into your own four walls. We recommend: Focus on coherent decoration and high-quality basics. Set highlights in the rooms with appealing murals.
Hotel room look for the bedroom
Luxury doesn't just thrive on expansive building fabric or furniture that can only be had as expensive custom-made items. A touch of luxury can also be exuded by a furnishing concept inspired by a hotel room. After all, a holiday or a night in a great hotel on a city trip is also a piece of luxury.
A modern hotel room, for example, is characterised by harmonious colour compositions. Bed linen, curtains and carpets harmonise with each other. Heavy fabrics dominate here, and you can tell they are of high quality. They do not have to be the same shade. Different nuances can complement each other wonderfully. In addition, there are murals. No hotel room can do without original prints or fine hand-painted pictures. Canvas pictures on a stretcher frame make the high-quality look perfect. Arrange several pictures at regular intervals to form a coherent series or mix them in a disorderly manner: realise your concept. A comfortable box spring bed is also part of the overall concept. Further details such as a bench at the foot end and appealing lighting complete the luxurious impression.
Presenting art in an appealing way
It plays an important role in the bedroom: art for the wall. Think of sensual nudes, distant landscapes or abstract patterns. But high-quality wall decoration enhances the entire flat or house. A spacious living room, for example, offers a lot of space that you should use for visual accents. Of course, there is also room here for your own photo memories or other sentimental pieces. But canvas prints in XXL format or series with several coordinated motifs create a wow effect.
Canvas prints of works of art by famous painters from the most diverse epochs lend expression to your style. For example, if you place several pieces from your favourite style in a room, this can create an interesting topic of conversation with guests. Art needs space to be effective. But it also needs light. With ceiling or wall spots, you can put your wall decoration in the right light. Particularly elegant: special picture lights that are available in different styles and even for battery operation.
Inexpensive luxury: individual pieces
If you want to bring luxury into your home without renovating or replacing the entire furnishings, you have to get creative. But the results can be remarkable. This also applies to this option: older furniture with good substance, which at first glance does not fit in well with your own furnishings, can also become an eye-catcher. Invest in a furniture polish or have heirlooms professionally refurbished to present them attractively.
