How do you create the sense of relaxation you get when you walk into a boutique spa or the indulgence of a 5-star hotel bathroom with a vanity stocked with indulgent treats? The secret to recreating this emotion in your home is to add a few affordable touches that will transform your house into a luxury home (but on a budget).
Follow along for some simple ideas you can use today.
Ways to make your bathroom luxurious
- Gold! Incorporate some gold detailing or finishes into your bathroom for that sense of opulence. Faux gold paneling and paint can help give your home a luxurious touch.
- Coloured tapware is very on-trend right now and surprisingly affordable. Why not swap out the old and replace them with matt black fittings or a copper finish.
- Display some of your bathroom products that have great packaging. You can put the hand soap on a nice ceramic dish or invest in a quality hand soap dispenser and keep a fresh hand towel out for guests to use. This budget-conscious tip is oh so easy but one that can make a big difference.
Stunning Living area ideas
- Flooring is the most important element of a space. Wool and silk blended carpets are amazing and create a shimmer effect on your floor, however, to re-carpet a whole area in this is pricy. Why not invest in some quality silk rugs to your hardwood areas to soften the area and add that luxury element.
- Sheer curtains create a soft and inviting glow to your space. Ceiling to floor sheer curtains in a soft grey or white will give you this glow.
- Add a touch of velvet to your soft furnishings, such as some cushions or an ottoman or throw rug.
Add some elegance to your bedroom
- A feature wall of textured wallpaper will give you that luxe feeling without the hefty price tag. Choose a feature wall and pair it with a neutral palette for maximum impact.
- Ever considered a chandelier? A classic chandelier will bring you that extravagance you love. Check out a few antique stores to find one that suits your room for that luxurious touch.
- Monochrome colour schemes are simple and elegant, white with black accents, just beautiful.
