When it comes to creating a luxury feel within your home there various yet significant touches that can be made with minimal effort. No matter what the size of your space you can implement luxury touches to elevate your comfort and feel of the space.
Within this blog we will explore tips and ways to incorporate an opulent aesthetic.
Attention to detail should be carefully considered. Starting with your colour palette At NPLH we like to opt for neutrals as a base, soft creams, whites, greys, beiges. This evokes a sense of calm and a starting point to build upon. You can then add layers with textures and colour. Adding linens, velvets, patterned cushions with complimented piping, in different sizes and shapes. Mix textures of accessories, stone vases, etched glass, trinket boxes. Books are the most versatile way of styling and adding luxe to your environment. Stack them, stand them, open them! Present your personality with books that convey your interests or travels. Add faux botanicals, quality, realistic tactile stems. Mimosa, berries, grasses, blossoms and seasonal foliage. Alternating stems according to the season is the perfect way freshen and add a luxury touch to your home.
The materials you choose for your home should feel as luxurious as they look. Choose fabrics that will stand the test of time, withstand wear and tear, as well as not date style wise. Opt for plump feather filled cushions, high thread count bed sheets, thick draping curtain, fluffy soft towels. Luxury should be felt as well as observed. Look for materials that provide durability and longevity. Integrating these elements will allow for a seamless blend of luxury and functionality.
Lighting is and integral way of adding ambiance to your home. Lighting at different levels, highlighting areas of your home, adding cosiness as well as task lighting. Lamps are the perfect and simple way to add a refined feel. Wall lights accentuating artwork, uplights to illuminate textured walls or accessories. Lighting to greet visitors at your front door, setting the tone from the threshold to the rest of your home. Mount mirrors to bounce the light in darker spaces. Use dimmable lighting to set the mood and atmosphere. This versatility allows you to set the right mood for any occasion. Lighting candles is another simple way to add flickering light as well as your favourite aroma. Tasteful lighting fixtures can create an atmosphere of sophistication. Chandeliers are a great way of adding a focal point with grandeur.
Keeping your home decluttered is not only pleasing aesthetically but good for our mental well-being. We like to declutter in stages, so as not to be an overwhelming task that we will put off or not finish. Set yourself an area to sort, throw away or donate items that you haven’t used in months. This will look and feel more streamline whilst provoking a sense of calm.
Furniture is of course a fundamental staple for our homes. Again, choose durability over fashion. Opting for pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but comfortable and durable is foremost. Classic designs with intricate detailing evoke a sense of luxury. Where possible investing in bespoke custom-made pieces allows you to tailor the design to your needs and taste, ensuring a truly luxurious experience.
And lastly, great homes take time! Transforming your home into a luxury feeling haven involves meticulous attention to detail and careful selection of materials. A great home is nurtured over time, they are not hastily created overnight or miraculously developed in a quick makeover as seen on TV or social media. Homes are created through experiences and memories. The process of transforming your space requires deep connection, understanding of the space and your needs. And a willingness to take time and considered patience to make an environment that resonates with all that live there.
Luxury living is more than just the physical items within, it’s a feeling, a worthwhile endeavour and of course a journey which can be enjoyed!
