Love your luxury home

Interior designers have been telling us about the benefits of pared back neutral home decor for years. However, if this was never your thing, then you will be pleased to know that luxury and opulent home decor is very much back in vogue.

In this blog we will take a look at what you need to ensure your rooms are reveling in luxury.

Walls & Windows

For your blissful background let’s start with the walls.  A backdrop of soft tones are just what is needed to create your grand room.  For inspiration take a look at some of the rooms in our stately homes.  Think pastel shades of blue, grey, mink and pink and choose a paper with a subtle pattern.

Windows have to dressed with curtains as blinds really don’t have the extravagance that you can get from heavy silk or silk look curtains.  If you have a bay window try using a pair of curtains hung in the centre and then a curtain on either side of the bay, very posh.  The opulent curtain should always pool on the floor and feature loose tie backs.

Accessories

Nothing says luxury more than precious metals which is why gold and brass are a good starting point for your accessories.  A gilded mirror and a chandelier should be among your first purchases. Coloured glass items artfully placed will add to the rich tone of the room while satin and silk cushions and velvet throws will create rich textures.

Flooring

Flooring can be expensive and its unlikely most people will have a budgets to replace their flooring and that’s why choosing the right rug will be so important.  When we think luxury then it’s all about the pile which is why a long pile rug will not only look opulent but will feel it too.  A Flokati or Shaggy rug will fit the bill.
