Has the word “luxury” been casually tossed around your house lately? Have you been considering some interior and exterior upgrades to give your house a contemporary look blended with a touch of luxury? If the answer is yes, then you are here at the right place.
Here are some amazing and budget-friendly tips to upgrade your home and add a touch of luxury.
Install a Carport
Remember that the exterior space serves as an extension of the interior space, which is why a touch of “luxury” should ideally prevail in all your rooms.
The great news is that you can get these things done within your budget. For upgrading your exterior space, you may want to avail the services of professional carport builders and give your garage and driveway a complete makeover. Not only will it make your house look a little luxury but also protect your vehicles from weather exposure.
Subtly Place High-End Materials
While drifting through thrift stores and checking out some yard sales or while rummaging through some high-end stores, keep your eyes open for high-end materials, such as solid wood, marble, crystal, leather, and antique gold. You can also find amazing items on Craigslist.
For instance, you could strategically place a solid-wood chest with marble as the top beside a golden mirror in the corridor. Top it up with some books and subtle decoration pieces for an instant boost of fancy and classy.
Lighting is Important
It doesn’t matter whether it is your bedroom or the living space; you can instantly add a touch of fancy and luxury by placing lamps around the room. Never rely solely on bright overhead lighting, especially in your bedroom.
Besides, this is also an amazing way to make your bedroom appear instantly cosier and warmer. If you want to get rid of a sterile and harsh interior space and replace it with a touch of luxury and warmth, pay special attention to where and how you place the lamps. The interior ambiance relies more on the lighting than anything else, especially during the colder seasons of the year.
Upgrade the Art on the Walls
Assess the walls in your interior space and see how you have displayed your favourite art and pictures. If you are like some people, you might have placed one tiny framed picture on a grand spacious wall, making the picture look as if it is floating in the air. However, you may also want to avoid sticking multiple framed pictures and art on the wall, as it will make everything look very chaotic and disorganised.
We recommend going large scale with art. And you don’t necessarily have to break the bank to go big on art. All you need to do is to print out your favourite picture(s) in the perfect size (8×10) and buy a large frame or mat (16×20) to make your photo important, expensive, and, of course, high-end. Whatever art you like, take a print, and go large-scale with it. While inducing a touch of luxury, the art will have a grand impact while being simple and serene at the same time.
Only Use Classy Furniture
Home upgrades and renovations can be expensive, which is why you should stick to classics while going furniture shopping. While you make sure to go neutral and classic on certain furnishing items, fixtures, and even wall colours, make sure to induce different patterns and textures in the accessories. By doing so, you will stick to classics while changing the entire look and feel of the interior space.
The best part about choosing classy furniture and other larger items is that they don’t really get out of style, and while upgrading your house, you don’t have to spend loads of money on having the large items replaced. Instead, by making little changes, you can achieve big results.
Include Metallic Touches
If you want to make the main living area luxurious, you may want to include some metallic touches. Believe us or not, but small glitzy pieces can go a long way in changing the overall vibe and feel of the interior space.
You don’t necessarily have to go big. All you need to do is to make the right purchases, such as buying one piece of the mirrored tray and placing two brass candlesticks. Add the right flowers placed in a beautiful vase to the tray, and this is all that it takes to induce glitz and glamour to your interior space.
Place Candles around the Living Space
If you have never tried out this tiny luxury before, you may want to do it now, especially at the end of an extremely stressful day. To take things up a notch, you may want to opt for scented candles and light them on your kitchen counter, bedroom, or coffee table. For a relaxing and soothing bathing experience, place some in the bathroom too. The yummy-smelling candles will take your stress away and make you feel alive, rejuvenated, and refreshed.
Get some Fresh Flowers
When talking about candles, it would be utterly wrong to ignore fresh flowers. Trust us when we tell you that nothing can go wrong with fresh flowers. The presence of fresh flowers is more luxurious than plastic and artificial ones. If you have a backyard, you may want to plant some to have a stock ready to replace the previous ones. While selecting the vase, make sure that it is luxurious and makes the flowers appear prettier.
Final Thoughts
It doesn’t matter whether your budget is $500 or $10000; it is always possible to make the right upgrades to your house’s interior and exterior space and induce a touch of luxury blended with classiness and the contemporary style.
The trick is to be carefully selective about what you decide to include in the interior space and how to fix and replace things already there. Home should always be your comfy spot where you can be yourself and where you feel pampered, cosy, welcomed, and “luxurious.”
