If you’re looking into re-designing or building a luxury home, it can be difficult to know where to start, but careful planning and time management will set you on the right road to success.
The secret to designing a luxury home that will last is a timeless design, and high quality materials, so ensuring you research your plans thoroughly, budget well and anticipating any drawbacks will mean you can appreciate your home for many years to come.
If you want to build your dream home successfully, here are 4 essential tips for making the most out of your building experience.
Plan your budget
The size of your budget for building a luxury home is dependent on how big your project is likely to be, and the extent of your build or refurbishment. If you need a contractor, their fees and the cost of their services should be included in your budget to ensure you have a comprehensive financial plan.
You should also keep in mind that you may need an emergency fund to cover any accidental damage caused by extreme weather, delays and any unexpected events.
If you need guidance on creating a budget for your construction plans, websites like Smartsheet have a wealth of free templates for you to choose from that will help you get organised.

Use high quality components
Using high quality components is essential when building your home, as this will keep your house looking and feeling brand new for years to come, and will help to protect against unwanted damage or corrosion.
Companies like Accu are dedicated to providing the best quality precision components for every engineering need for your luxury home build.
From washers and spacers to nuts and precision screws, Accu are renowned for their excellent customer service and fast shipping, which is ideal for projects with a tight deadline.
Use timeless designs
The secret to having a house that will remain timeless for years to come is choosing your interior decor carefully, and picking high quality flooring, paint, and windows that won’t age with time.
Flooring is especially vulnerable to ageing, especially if you have pets or small children. Using high quality hard wearing floor like Karndean can help you get the most out of your flooring for longer, without the usual fading or wear and tear.
Plan your furniture design
Furniture brings essential character to your home, so planning how you want to layout your rooms can help you get excited for your new home.
Furniture companies like Ikea provide a huge range of high quality and easy to assemble furniture for every dream home.
Whether you need a new sideboard, sofa, or even a brand new kitchen, Ikea have showrooms set up in all their warehouses to help you visualise how your rooms could fit together and provide inspiration.

I am a 50-something Torontonian who loves everything about my city. It’s been my home, my playground, for my entire life. I went to school here. I met my wife here. I own real estate here. I love writing about the transformation of my city on the world stage, which hasn’t been anything short of dramatic. That continues on, as I write this. I write on the real estate scene. I write on travel and fashion. I like following the world of luxury watches.
But I love writing about cars – check that, luxury cars, a level of superior, engineering sophistication, high performance and style, that transports you not just from one destination to another but also out of whatever you are going through on a particular day, whatever mood you are in, all to another head space. It’s complete and total exhilaration, head to toe.
